go-testing

name: go-testing description: "Handles all Golang testing tasks including running tests, writing new tests, and fixing test failures. Follows MCPSpy testing conventions with require for critical assertions and assert for non-critical ones."

Go Testing Skill

Provides guidance and automation for Golang testing tasks in the MCPSpy project.

Testing Philosophy

• Use require library for assertions that should stop test execution on failure
• Use assert library for non-critical assertions where test should continue
• Choose internal vs external package testing based on what needs to be tested
• Test internal functions by placing test files in the same package (no _test suffix)
• Avoid creating externally facing functions solely for testing purposes

When to Use This Skill

• Running unit tests with go test
• Writing new test files and test cases
• Debugging and fixing failing tests
• Implementing test fixtures and mocks
• Improving test coverage for the MCPSpy project
