# splittestdemo
## Strategy for distinct unit and integration test execution in Go
### Problem
We want to run unit tests and integration tests separately. Unit tests should run fast and should not depend on external resources. Integration tests should run slower and should depend on external resources.
### Solution
For running unit tests we use the `go test ./...` command with the `-short` flag.
For running integration tests we use the `go test ./...` command without the `-short` flag and use `-run` to filter the tests starting with `TestIntegration`.
### Example
Will run only the unit tests.
```bash
$ go test -v -short ./...
```
```
=== RUN TestBar
--- PASS: TestBar (0.00s)
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/bar (cached)
=== RUN TestFoo
--- PASS: TestFoo (0.00s)
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/foo (cached)
=== RUN TestIntegration_Qux
qux_test.go:7: Skipping integration test in short mode
--- SKIP: TestIntegration_Qux (0.00s)
=== RUN TestIntegration_Qux2
qux_test.go:19: Skipping integration test in short mode
--- SKIP: TestIntegration_Qux2 (0.00s)
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/foo/qux (cached)
```
Will run only the integration tests.
```bash
$ go test -v ./... -run ^TestIntegration
```
```
testing: warning: no tests to run
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/bar (cached) [no tests to run]
testing: warning: no tests to run
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/foo (cached) [no tests to run]
=== RUN TestIntegration_Qux
--- PASS: TestIntegration_Qux (0.00s)
=== RUN TestIntegration_Qux2
--- PASS: TestIntegration_Qux2 (0.00s)
PASS
ok github.com/alesr/splittestdemo/foo/qux (cached)
```
For convenience, we can create a Makefile with the following content:
```bash
$ make help
```
```
