testily

A small collection of weird test convenience helpers with odd names, to aid in DRY. Preferably dot-imported as a simple DSL to make your unit tests more concise. A nice companion to Ginkgo.

• package tuples: type-safe tuples packing and unpacking: Pair, Triple. Use PackPair(...), Unpack(), et cetera.
• package concur: calling functions on new goroutines and signalling when they've finished, optionally channeling their results back: CloseWhenDone, PassWhenDone.
• package zero: Zero[T]() when you want to be curt without explicit zero vars.
• package nothing: interface{} has any, we have Nothing for struct{}.

DevContainer

Caution

Do not use VSCode's "Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume" command, as it is utterly broken by design, ignoring .devcontainer/devcontainer.json.

1. git clone https://github.com/thediveo/testily
2. in VSCode: Ctrl+Shift+P, "Dev Containers: Open Workspace in Container..."
3. select testily.code-workspace and off you go...
