Types

type G

type G struct {
	ShouldUpdate bool

	FixtureDir    string
	FixturePrefix string
	FixtureSuffix string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

G is the object that assertions are made on.

func New

func New(t testing.TB) G

New creates a new, ready to use G.

func (G) Assert

func (g G) Assert(name string, got []byte)

Assert asserts, that the given byte slice has the same content as a file, whose path is derived from the given name (usually "testdata/"+name+".golden").

func (G) AssertStruct

func (g G) AssertStruct(name string, got interface{})

AssertStruct asserts, that the given struct has the same content as a file, whose path is derived from the given name (usually "testdata/"+name+".golden"). This is ensured by gob-encoding the given struct and comparing it against the file's contents.
