GoMock is a mocking framework for the Go programming language. It
integrates well with Go's built-in testing
package, but can be used in other
contexts too.
Installation
Once you have installed Go, run these commands
to install the gomock
package and the mockgen
tool:
go get github.com/golang/mock/gomock
go get github.com/golang/mock/mockgen
Documentation
After installing, you can use go doc
to get documentation:
go doc github.com/golang/mock/gomock
Alternatively, there is an online reference for the package hosted on GoPkgDoc here.
Running mockgen
mockgen
has two modes of operation: source and reflect.
Source mode generates mock interfaces from a source file.
It is enabled by using the -source flag. Other flags that
may be useful in this mode are -imports and -aux_files.
Example:
mockgen -source=foo.go [other options]
Reflect mode generates mock interfaces by building a program that uses reflection to understand interfaces. It is enabled by passing two non-flag arguments: an import path, and a comma-separated list of symbols.
Example:
mockgen database/sql/driver Conn,Driver
The mockgen
command is used to generate source code for a mock
class given a Go source file containing interfaces to be mocked.
It supports the following flags:
-
-source
: A file containing interfaces to be mocked. -
-destination
: A file to which to write the resulting source code. If you don't set this, the code is printed to standard output. -
-package
: The package to use for the resulting mock class source code. If you don't set this, the package name ismock_
concatenated with the package of the input file. -
-imports
: A list of explicit imports that should be used in the resulting source code, specified as a comma-separated list of elements of the formfoo=bar/baz
, wherebar/baz
is the package being imported andfoo
is the identifier to use for the package in the generated source code. -
-aux_files
: A list of additional files that should be consulted to resolve e.g. embedded interfaces defined in a different file. This is specified as a comma-separated list of elements of the formfoo=bar/baz.go
, wherebar/baz.go
is the source file andfoo
is the package name of that file used by the -source file.
For an example of the use of mockgen
, see the sample/
directory. In simple
cases, you will need only the -source
flag.
