Testing with golang and testify - mocking - tutorial part 3

This is the last part of my testify tutorial series. In this video I am going to explain how to create and use mocks. I am also reusing what we learned in part one and two and show you how to use mocks with a real world example. I am also showing some best practices and teach you to become a fully fledged testing master.

It is the BEST video about this topic which I've watched! I've spent last two days improving my golang test skills and your video helps me better then other.

Go testify Go!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!
It's very well explained and informative. Coming from a different tech stack, this helped me a lot to understand how I can implement a well tested codebase.
All the best to you!

I loved your explanation! specially when you presented the Mocekry! I Laughed how funny you suggested it! Thank you!

Go testify go! Thank you for valuable lessons! :)

[JohnDoe-jizv]

Very informative and straight to the point 👍🏻 thank you

What if you want to write testcase for List and Latest functions ? How can that be done ? Mocking the entire the List and Latest functions will not give more code coverage. Is in't it ?

[VincentSCHOENER]

I'm a bit lost between the Original struct/interface implementation and the mock one because in a normal case we don't send the reference of the object if we use the provider manually, but with the mock one, we need to send the reference (&priceProvide). Why?

[OneManArmy_XD]

Hey great video,

Why do you use priceProviderMock := mocks.PriceProvider{} instead of for example priceProviderMock := mocks.NewPriceProvider(t) or priceProviderMock := new(mocks.PriceProvider)

[ultiumlabs]

thanks, it helps a lot, you've covered many areas. as for mock struct, You've explained how to test a service that calls DB repository (GET), but, I still don't know how to test a service that calls DB repository for PUT/POST (have no return value). Would you give me some references I could look up for now (and may be you could create part4). Thank you.

[zaphkiel_]

Awesome! Could you make another video explaining the controller-service-repository architecture in more detail?

[swagatochatterjee]

Ok, testify is indeed cool. I now can 1:1 map between Junit and Testify

[Golandia]

This video promises that I will be a master in testing... let's see

that tutor on next up, thanks for tough staff💪
