embedded-postgres
Run a real Postgres database locally on Linux, OSX or Windows as part of another Go application or test. -
Hamcrest
fluent framework for declarative Matcher objects that, when applied to input values, produce self-describing results. -

README
Gomatch
Library created for testing JSON against patterns. The goal was to be able to validate JSON focusing only on parts essential in given test case so tests are more expressive and less fragile. It can be used with both unit tests and functional tests.
When used with Gherkin driven BDD tests it makes scenarios more compact and readable. See Gherkin example
Contests
Installation
go get github.com/jfilipczyk/gomatch
Basic usage
actual := `
{
"id": 351,
"name": "John Smith",
"address": {
"city": "Boston"
}
}
`
expected := `
{
"id": "@number@",
"name": "John Smith",
"address": {
"city": "@string@"
}
}
`
m := gomatch.NewDefaultJSONMatcher()
ok, err := m.Match(expected, actual)
if ok {
fmt.Printf("actual JSON matches expected JSON")
} else {
fmt.Printf("actual JSON does not match expected JSON: %s", err.Error())
}
Available patterns
@string@@number@@bool@@array@@uuid@@email@@wildcard@@...@- unbounded array or object
Unbounded pattern
It can be used at the end of an array to allow any extra array elements:
[
"John Smith",
"Joe Doe",
"@...@"
]
It can be used at the end of an object to allow any extra keys:
{
"id": 351,
"name": "John Smith",
"@...@": ""
}
Gherkin example
Gomatch was created to use it together with tools like GODOG. The goal was to be able to validate JSON response focusing only on parts essential in given scenario.
Feature: User management API
In order to provide GUI for user management
As a frontent developer
I need to be able to create, retrive, update and delete users
Scenario: Get list of users sorted by username ascending
Given the database contains users:
| Username | Email |
| john.smith | john.smith@example.com |
| alvin34 | alvin34@example.com |
| mike1990 | mike.jones@example.com |
When I send "GET" request to "/v1/users?sortBy=username&sortDir=asc"
Then the response code should be 200
And the response body should match json:
"""
{
"items": [
{
"username": "alvin34",
"@...@": ""
},
{
"username": "john.smith",
"@...@": ""
},
{
"username": "mike1990",
"@...@": ""
}
],
"@...@": ""
}
"""
