Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Go code (golang) set of packages that provide many tools for testifying that your code will behave as you intend.
The
assertpackage provides some helpful methods that allow you to write better test code in Go.The
requirepackage provides same global functions as theassertpackage, but instead of returning a boolean result they terminate current test. These functions must be called from the goroutine running the test or benchmark function, not from other goroutines created during the test. Otherwise race conditions may occur.See t.FailNow for details.
