go-tester.nvim

Forget about opening tmux or another terminal instance to run your file/package tests.

What is go-tester?

Go tester is a way to avoid the context switching in running a test suite in your golang project.
As soon as you run the command, you can begin to fix all from tests to actual source code, just for the tests to be re-run as soon as you save the files you are coding in.

Getting started

Required Dependecies

• nvim 0.8.0 or higher
• nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

How to install it

Using vim-plug

Plug 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'
Plug 'nachonievag/go-tester.nvim'

Using dein

call dein#add('nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter')
call dein#add('nachonievag/go-tester.nvim')

Using Packer

use {
  'nachonievag/go-tester.nvim',
  requires = { {'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'} }
}

Configurations

You can specify the several flags to execute the go test command.
As it is today the defined command to execute is:
go test $exec_path -v -json
This flags are mandatory for the plugin to work, yet you could add the ones you need at will.

use {
  "nachonievag/go-tester.nvim",
  requires = "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
  config = function()
    require("go-tester").setup({ flags = { "-failfast", "-race", "-cover" } })
  end
}

In this case, we shall see as the user command is executed, that the command executed is:
go test $exec_path -v -json -failfast -race -cover
