Package ginkgo

Constants

const GINKGO_PANIC = `
Your test failed.
Ginkgo panics to prevent subsequent assertions from running.
Normally Ginkgo rescues this panic so you shouldn't see it.

But, if you make an assertion in a goroutine, Ginkgo can't capture the panic.
To circumvent this, you should call

    defer GinkgoRecover()

at the top of the goroutine that caused this panic.
`

const GINKGO_VERSION = config.VERSION

Variables

GinkgoWriter implements an io.Writer When running in verbose mode any writes to GinkgoWriter will be immediately printed to stdout. Otherwise, GinkgoWriter will buffer any writes produced during the current test and flush them to screen only if the current test fails.

var GinkgoWriter io.Writer

func AfterEach ¶

func AfterEach(body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

AfterEach blocks are run after It blocks. When multiple AfterEach blocks are defined in nested Describe and Context blocks the innermost AfterEach blocks are run first.

Like It blocks, AfterEach blocks can be made asynchronous by providing a body function that accepts a Done channel

func AfterSuite ¶

func AfterSuite(body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

AfterSuite blocks are *always* run after all the specs regardless of whether specs have passed or failed. Moreover, if Ginkgo receives an interrupt signal (^C) it will attempt to run the AfterSuite before exiting.

When running in parallel, each parallel node process will call AfterSuite.

AfterSuite blocks can be made asynchronous by providing a body function that accepts a Done channel

You may only register *one* AfterSuite handler per test suite. You typically do so in your bootstrap file at the top level.

func BeforeEach ¶

func BeforeEach(body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

BeforeEach blocks are run before It blocks. When multiple BeforeEach blocks are defined in nested Describe and Context blocks the outermost BeforeEach blocks are run first.

Like It blocks, BeforeEach blocks can be made asynchronous by providing a body function that accepts a Done channel

func BeforeSuite ¶

func BeforeSuite(body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

BeforeSuite blocks are run just once before any specs are run. When running in parallel, each parallel node process will call BeforeSuite.

BeforeSuite blocks can be made asynchronous by providing a body function that accepts a Done channel

You may only register *one* BeforeSuite handler per test suite. You typically do so in your bootstrap file at the top level.

func By ¶

func By(text string, callbacks ...func())

By allows you to better document large Its.

Generally you should try to keep your Its short and to the point. This is not always possible, however, especially in the context of integration tests that capture a particular workflow.

By allows you to document such flows. By must be called within a runnable node (It, BeforeEach, Measure, etc...) By will simply log the passed in text to the GinkgoWriter. If By is handed a function it will immediately run the function.

func Context ¶

func Context(text string, body func()) bool

Context blocks allow you to organize your specs. A Context block can contain any number of BeforeEach, AfterEach, JustBeforeEach, It, and Measurement blocks.

In addition you can nest Describe and Context blocks. Describe and Context blocks are functionally equivalent. The difference is purely semantic -- you typical Describe the behavior of an object or method and, within that Describe, outline a number of Contexts.

func Describe ¶

func Describe(text string, body func()) bool

Describe blocks allow you to organize your specs. A Describe block can contain any number of BeforeEach, AfterEach, JustBeforeEach, It, and Measurement blocks.

In addition you can nest Describe and Context blocks. Describe and Context blocks are functionally equivalent. The difference is purely semantic -- you typical Describe the behavior of an object or method and, within that Describe, outline a number of Contexts.

func FContext ¶

func FContext(text string, body func()) bool

You can focus the tests within a describe block using FContext

func FDescribe ¶

func FDescribe(text string, body func()) bool

You can focus the tests within a describe block using FDescribe

func FIt ¶

func FIt(text string, body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

You can focus individual Its using FIt

func FMeasure ¶

func FMeasure(text string, body interface{}, samples int) bool

You can focus individual Measures using FMeasure

func FSpecify ¶

func FSpecify(text string, body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

You can focus individual Specifys using FSpecify

func Fail ¶

func Fail(message string, callerSkip ...int)

Fail notifies Ginkgo that the current spec has failed. (Gomega will call Fail for you automatically when an assertion fails.)

func GinkgoParallelNode ¶

func GinkgoParallelNode() int

GinkgoParallelNode returns the parallel node number for the current ginkgo process The node number is 1-indexed

func GinkgoRandomSeed ¶

func GinkgoRandomSeed() int64

GinkgoRandomSeed returns the seed used to randomize spec execution order. It is useful for seeding your own pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) to ensure consistent executions from run to run, where your tests contain variability (for example, when selecting random test data).

func GinkgoRecover ¶

func GinkgoRecover()

GinkgoRecover should be deferred at the top of any spawned goroutine that (may) call `Fail` Since Gomega assertions call fail, you should throw a `defer GinkgoRecover()` at the top of any goroutine that calls out to Gomega

Here's why: Ginkgo's `Fail` method records the failure and then panics to prevent further assertions from running. This panic must be recovered. Ginkgo does this for you if the panic originates in a Ginkgo node (an It, BeforeEach, etc...)

Unfortunately, if a panic originates on a goroutine *launched* from one of these nodes there's no way for Ginkgo to rescue the panic. To do this, you must remember to `defer GinkgoRecover()` at the top of such a goroutine.

func It ¶

func It(text string, body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

It blocks contain your test code and assertions. You cannot nest any other Ginkgo blocks within an It block.

Ginkgo will normally run It blocks synchronously. To perform asynchronous tests, pass a function that accepts a Done channel. When you do this, you can also provide an optional timeout.

func JustBeforeEach ¶

func JustBeforeEach(body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

JustBeforeEach blocks are run before It blocks but *after* all BeforeEach blocks. For more details, read the [documentation](http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#separating_creation_and_configuration_)

Like It blocks, BeforeEach blocks can be made asynchronous by providing a body function that accepts a Done channel

func Measure ¶

func Measure(text string, body interface{}, samples int) bool

Measure blocks run the passed in body function repeatedly (determined by the samples argument) and accumulate metrics provided to the Benchmarker by the body function.

The body function must have the signature:

func(b Benchmarker)

func PContext ¶

func PContext(text string, body func()) bool

You can mark the tests within a describe block as pending using PContext

func PDescribe ¶

func PDescribe(text string, body func()) bool

You can mark the tests within a describe block as pending using PDescribe

func PIt ¶

func PIt(text string, _ ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Its as pending using PIt

func PMeasure ¶

func PMeasure(text string, _ ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Maeasurements as pending using PMeasure

func PSpecify ¶

func PSpecify(text string, is ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Specifys as pending using PSpecify

func RunSpecs ¶

func RunSpecs(t GinkgoTestingT, description string) bool

RunSpecs is the entry point for the Ginkgo test runner. You must call this within a Golang testing TestX(t *testing.T) function.

To bootstrap a test suite you can use the Ginkgo CLI:

ginkgo bootstrap

func RunSpecsWithCustomReporters ¶

func RunSpecsWithCustomReporters(t GinkgoTestingT, description string, specReporters []Reporter) bool

To run your tests with your custom reporter(s) (and *not* Ginkgo's default reporter), replace RunSpecs() with this method. Note that parallel tests will not work correctly without the default reporter

func RunSpecsWithDefaultAndCustomReporters ¶

func RunSpecsWithDefaultAndCustomReporters(t GinkgoTestingT, description string, specReporters []Reporter) bool

To run your tests with Ginkgo's default reporter and your custom reporter(s), replace RunSpecs() with this method.

func Skip ¶

func Skip(message string, callerSkip ...int)

Skip notifies Ginkgo that the current spec should be skipped.

func Specify ¶

func Specify(text string, body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

Specify blocks are aliases for It blocks and allow for more natural wording in situations which "It" does not fit into a natural sentence flow. All the same protocols apply for Specify blocks which apply to It blocks.

func SynchronizedAfterSuite ¶

func SynchronizedAfterSuite(allNodesBody interface{}, node1Body interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

SynchronizedAfterSuite blocks complement the SynchronizedBeforeSuite blocks in solving the problem of setting up external singleton resources shared across nodes when running tests in parallel.

SynchronizedAfterSuite accomplishes this by taking *two* function arguments. The first runs on all nodes. The second runs only on parallel node #1 and *only* after all other nodes have finished and exited. This ensures that node 1, and any resources it is running, remain alive until all other nodes are finished.

Both functions have the same signature: either func() or func(done Done) to run asynchronously.

Here's a pseudo-code example that complements that given in SynchronizedBeforeSuite. Here, SynchronizedAfterSuite is used to tear down the shared database only after all nodes have finished:

var _ = SynchronizedAfterSuite(func() {
	dbClient.Cleanup()
}, func() {
	dbRunner.Stop()
})

func SynchronizedBeforeSuite ¶

func SynchronizedBeforeSuite(node1Body interface{}, allNodesBody interface{}, timeout ...float64) bool

SynchronizedBeforeSuite blocks are primarily meant to solve the problem of setting up singleton external resources shared across nodes when running tests in parallel. For example, say you have a shared database that you can only start one instance of that must be used in your tests. When running in parallel, only one node should set up the database and all other nodes should wait until that node is done before running.

SynchronizedBeforeSuite accomplishes this by taking *two* function arguments. The first is only run on parallel node #1. The second is run on all nodes, but *only* after the first function completes succesfully. Ginkgo also makes it possible to send data from the first function (on Node 1) to the second function (on all the other nodes).

The functions have the following signatures. The first function (which only runs on node 1) has the signature:

func() []byte

or, to run asynchronously:

func(done Done) []byte

The byte array returned by the first function is then passed to the second function, which has the signature:

func(data []byte)

or, to run asynchronously:

func(data []byte, done Done)

Here's a simple pseudo-code example that starts a shared database on Node 1 and shares the database's address with the other nodes:

var dbClient db.Client
var dbRunner db.Runner

var _ = SynchronizedBeforeSuite(func() []byte {
	dbRunner = db.NewRunner()
	err := dbRunner.Start()
	Ω(err).ShouldNot(HaveOccurred())
	return []byte(dbRunner.URL)
}, func(data []byte) {
	dbClient = db.NewClient()
	err := dbClient.Connect(string(data))
	Ω(err).ShouldNot(HaveOccurred())
})

func XContext ¶

func XContext(text string, body func()) bool

You can mark the tests within a describe block as pending using XContext

func XDescribe ¶

func XDescribe(text string, body func()) bool

You can mark the tests within a describe block as pending using XDescribe

func XIt ¶

func XIt(text string, _ ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Its as pending using XIt

func XMeasure ¶

func XMeasure(text string, _ ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Maeasurements as pending using XMeasure

func XSpecify ¶

func XSpecify(text string, is ...interface{}) bool

You can mark Specifys as pending using XSpecify

type Benchmarker ¶

Measurement tests receive a Benchmarker.

You use the Time() function to time how long the passed in body function takes to run You use the RecordValue() function to track arbitrary numerical measurements. The RecordValueWithPrecision() function can be used alternatively to provide the unit and resolution of the numeric measurement. The optional info argument is passed to the test reporter and can be used to provide the measurement data to a custom reporter with context.

See http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#benchmark_tests for more details

type Benchmarker interface {
    Time(name string, body func(), info ...interface{}) (elapsedTime time.Duration)
    RecordValue(name string, value float64, info ...interface{})
    RecordValueWithPrecision(name string, value float64, units string, precision int, info ...interface{})
}

type Done ¶

Asynchronous specs are given a channel of the Done type. You must close or write to the channel to tell Ginkgo that your async test is done.

type Done chan<- interface{}

type GinkgoTInterface ¶

The interface returned by GinkgoT(). This covers most of the methods in the testing package's T.

type GinkgoTInterface interface {
    Fail()
    Error(args ...interface{})
    Errorf(format string, args ...interface{})
    FailNow()
    Fatal(args ...interface{})
    Fatalf(format string, args ...interface{})
    Log(args ...interface{})
    Logf(format string, args ...interface{})
    Failed() bool
    Parallel()
    Skip(args ...interface{})
    Skipf(format string, args ...interface{})
    SkipNow()
    Skipped() bool
}

func GinkgoT ¶

func GinkgoT(optionalOffset ...int) GinkgoTInterface

Some matcher libraries or legacy codebases require a *testing.T GinkgoT implements an interface analogous to *testing.T and can be used if the library in question accepts *testing.T through an interface

For example, with testify: assert.Equal(GinkgoT(), 123, 123, "they should be equal")

Or with gomock: gomock.NewController(GinkgoT())

GinkgoT() takes an optional offset argument that can be used to get the correct line number associated with the failure.

type GinkgoTestDescription ¶

GinkgoTestDescription represents the information about the current running test returned by CurrentGinkgoTestDescription

FullTestText: a concatenation of ComponentTexts and the TestText
ComponentTexts: a list of all texts for the Describes & Contexts leading up to the current test
TestText: the text in the actual It or Measure node
IsMeasurement: true if the current test is a measurement
FileName: the name of the file containing the current test
LineNumber: the line number for the current test
Failed: if the current test has failed, this will be true (useful in an AfterEach)

type GinkgoTestDescription struct {
    FullTestText   string
    ComponentTexts []string
    TestText       string

    IsMeasurement bool

    FileName   string
    LineNumber int

    Failed bool
}

func CurrentGinkgoTestDescription ¶

func CurrentGinkgoTestDescription() GinkgoTestDescription

CurrentGinkgoTestDescripton returns information about the current running test.

type GinkgoTestingT ¶

The interface by which Ginkgo receives *testing.T

type GinkgoTestingT interface {
    Fail()
}

type Reporter ¶

Custom Ginkgo test reporters must implement the Reporter interface.

The custom reporter is passed in a SuiteSummary when the suite begins and ends, and a SpecSummary just before a spec begins and just after a spec ends

type Reporter reporters.Reporter
