gotest

Like go test but with colors.

Installation

Use the pre-built binary for Linux 64-bit:

$ curl https://gotest-release.s3.amazonaws.com/gotest_linux > gotest && chmod +x gotest

Alternatively:

$ go install github.com/rakyll/gotest@latest

Usage

Accepts all the arguments and flags go test works with.

Example:

$ gotest -v github.com/jonasbn/go-test-demo

gotest comes with many colors! Configure the color of the output by setting the following env variable:

$ GOTEST_PALETTE="magenta,white"

The output will have magenta for failed cases, white for success. Available colors: black, hiblack, red, hired, green, higreen, yellow, hiyellow, blue, hiblue, magenta, himagenta, cyan, hicyan, white, hiwhite.

Configuration

Environment Variables

GOTEST_PALETTE: Customize the colors for test output (format: "fail_color,pass_color")

$ GOTEST_PALETTE="red,green" gotest -v ./...

GOTEST_SKIPNOTESTS: Skip printing "[no test files]" messages (set to "true" to enable)

$ GOTEST_SKIPNOTESTS="true" gotest -v ./...

CI Detection: gotest automatically enables colored output when running on CI systems (Travis, AppVeyor, GitLab CI, CircleCI). Colors are enabled by default on these platforms even if the terminal doesn't support them.

Overview
