如何对我项目中的所有测试文件（供应商软件包除外）运行go test

Question

My project folder contains:

Makefile  README.md  component/  driver/  service/  vendor/  worker/

I'd like to run go test on all test files, e.g. foobar_test.go files except for the test files in the vendor package. The closest I've come to success was with go test ./... but that included vendor test files.

I saw in the documentation you can pass a regex to -run option but I'm having trouble getting this working. For example I tried go test ./*, but I get a bunch of can't load package errors.

What's the best way to do this?

Answer 1

The -run pattern is matched only against the test identifier (not the filename); in principle you could do:

go test -run TestFoo

but when you'd have to add Foo to all your test function names, which you probably don't want.

The usual way to do this is:

go test $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/)

There's a lengthy discussion at GitHub about it. It was eventually changed after another lengthy discussion.

Starting with Go 1.9, vendor directory is automatically excluded. Now, you can directly type this:

go test ./...
