Go Testing Skill

Name: go-testing
Rating: 5 (505 reviews)

Provides guidance and automation for Golang testing tasks in the MCPSpy project.

Testing Philosophy

Use require library for assertions that should stop test execution on failure
Use assert library for non-critical assertions where test should continue
Choose internal vs external package testing based on what needs to be tested
Test internal functions by placing test files in the same package (no _test suffix)
Avoid creating externally facing functions solely for testing purposes

When to Use This Skill

Running unit tests with go test
Writing new test files and test cases
Debugging and fixing failing tests
Implementing test fixtures and mocks
Improving test coverage for the MCPSpy project
