# go-test-demo

This is a basic repository I use for testing `gotest`, which provides colorful output, compared to the standard test tool.

Standard **go** toolchain:

```bash

go test -v

```

Using `gotest`

```bash

gotest -v

```

I use this repository for testing my contributions to `gotest`

```bash

gotest -v github.com/jonasbn/go-test-demo

```

Do note that the above example expects for you to be in a directory containing a Go module project or else you will observe the following error:

> no required module provides package github.com/jonasbn/go-test-demo: go.mod file

> not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

You can do the following to get the demo to work, if you are not in the context of a Go module - it could be any, you could even fork and clone this here repository.

1. Create a directory

1. Initialize as a Go module

1. Install this demo

1. Run the `gotest` command

```bash

mkdir gonow && \

go mod init example.com/gonow && \

go get github.com/jonasbn/go-test-demo

```

And then you should be good to go

```bash

gotest -v github.com/jonasbn/go-test-demo

```
