EDIT: Adrian's suggestion makes sense, so I moved my code into a function and called the function from my cobra block:
package cmd
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"io"
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
"github.com/spf13/viper"
input "github.com/tcnksm/go-input"
)
var configureCmd = &cobra.Command{
Use: "configure",
Short: "Configure your TFE credentials",
Long: `Prompts for your TFE API credentials, then writes them to
a configuration file (defaults to ~/.tgc.yaml`,
Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
CreateConfigFileFromPrompts(os.Stdin, os.Stdout)
},
}
func CreateConfigFileFromPrompts(stdin io.Reader, stdout io.Writer) {
ui := &input.UI{
Writer: stdout,
Reader: stdin,
}
tfeURL, err := ui.Ask("TFE URL:", &input.Options{
Default: "https://app.terraform.io",
Required: true,
Loop: true,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
viper.Set("tfe_url", tfeURL)
tfeAPIToken, err := ui.Ask(fmt.Sprintf("TFE API Token (Create one at %s/app/settings/tokens)", tfeURL), &input.Options{
Default: "",
Required: true,
Loop: true,
Mask: true,
MaskDefault: true,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
viper.Set("tfe_api_token", tfeAPIToken)
configPath := ConfigPath()
viper.SetConfigFile(configPath)
err = viper.WriteConfig()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Failed to write to: ", configPath, " Error was: ", err)
}
fmt.Println("Saved to", configPath)
}
So what can I pass to this method to test that the output is as expected?
package cmd
import (
"strings"
"testing"
)
func TestCreateConfigFileFromPrompts(t *testing.T) {
// How do I pass the stdin and out to the method?
// Then how do I test their contents?
// CreateConfigFileFromPrompts()
}
