go-testing SKILL.md skillA
go-testing from bitwise-media-group/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when writing, reviewing, or running Go tests in _test.go files — writing tests for a Go package, adding table-driven tests with t.Run subtests, testing a Go HTTP handler with httptest, adding a Go fuzz test or seed corpus, running or choosing go test flags (-race, -fuzz, -fuzztime), or deciding whether to use testify. Covers Go testing conventions: table-driven tests, plain stdlib assertions (no testify or assertion frameworks), hand-written fakes behind small interfaces, t.Helper()…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Go testing conventions
The standard `testing` package is the whole toolkit: table-driven tests, hand-written fakes,
`httptest` for handlers, and native fuzzing. No assertion libraries, no mock generators.
## 1. Table-driven tests with subtests
One slice of cases, one `t.Run` per case named for the behavior it pins down:
```go
func TestParse(t *testing.T) {
cases := []struct {
name string
in string
wantKey string
wantErr bool
}{
{"simple pair", "a=b", "a", false},
{"missing separator", "ab", "", true},
{"empty key", "=b", "", true},
{"empty value ok", "a=", "a", false},
}
for _, c := range cases {
t.Run(c.name, func(t *testing.T) {
key, _, err := Parse(c.in)
if (err != nil) != c.wantErr {
t.Fatalf("Parse(%q) error = %v, wantErr %v", c.in, err, c.wantErr)
}
if key != c.wantKey {
t.Errorf("Parse(%q) key = %q, want %q", c.in, key, c.wantKey)
}
})
}
}
```
Adding a behavior means adding a row, not a function.
## 2. Plain stdlib assertions
`if got != want { t.Errorf(...) }` — no testify, gomega, or other assertion DSLs. Failure
messages follow `f(input) = got, want want` so the log reads as the broken contract. Use

How to install
mdr add bitwise-media-group/skills/go-testing@sha256:d5d094a7a11e2a9fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.20789e5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
