||
> ***Warning***: this package will wipe the database data before loading the
|
||
fixtures! It is supposed to be used on a test database. Please, double check
|
||
if you are running it against the correct database.
|
||
|
||
Writing tests is hard, even more when you have to deal with an SQL database.
|
||
This package aims to make writing functional tests for web apps written in
|
||
Go easier.
|
||
|
||
Basically this package mimics the ["Rails' way"][railstests] of writing tests
|
||
for database applications, where sample data is kept in fixtures files. Before
|
||
the execution of every test, the test database is cleaned and the fixture data
|
||
is loaded into the database.
|
||
|
||
The idea is running tests against a real database, instead of relying in mocks,
|
||
which is boring to setup and may lead to production bugs not being caught in
|
||
the tests.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
First, get it:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
go get -u -v gopkg.in/testfixtures.v2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Create a folder for the fixture files. Each file should contain data for a
|
||
single table and have the name `<table_name>.yml`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
myapp/
|
||
myapp.go
|
||
myapp_test.go
|
||
...
|
||
fixtures/
|
||
posts.yml
|
||
comments.yml
|
||
tags.yml
|
||
posts_tags.yml
|
||
...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The file would look like this (it can have as many record you want):
|
||
|
||
```yml
|
||
# comments.yml
|
||
- id: 1
|
||
post_id: 1
|
||
content: A comment...
|
||
author_name: John Doe
|
||
author_email: john@doe.com
|
||
created_at: 2016-01-01 12:30:12
|
||
updated_at: 2016-01-01 12:30:12
|
||
|
||
- id: 2
|
||
post_id: 2
|
||
content: Another comment...
|
||
author_name: John Doe
|
||
author_email: john@doe.com
|
||
created_at: 2016-01-01 12:30:12
|
||
updated_at: 2016-01-01 12:30:12
|
||
|
||
# ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
An YAML object or array will be converted to JSON. It can be stored on a native
|
||
JSON type like JSONB on PostgreSQL or as a TEXT or VARCHAR column on other
|
||
databases.
|
||
|
||
```yml
|
||
- id: 1
|
||
post_attributes:
|
||
author: John Due
|
||
author_email: john@due.com
|
||
title: "..."
|
||
tags:
|
||
- programming
|
||
- go
|
||
- testing
|
||
post: "..."
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you need to write raw SQL, probably to call a function, prefix the value
|
||
of the column with `RAW=`:
|
||
|
||
```yml
|
||
- id: 1
|
||
uuid_column: RAW=uuid_generate_v4()
|
||
postgis_type_column: RAW=ST_GeomFromText('params...')
|
||
created_at: RAW=NOW()
|
||
updated_at: RAW=NOW()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Your tests would look like this:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
package myapp
|
||
|
||
import (
|
||
"database/sql"
|
||
"log"
|
||
|
||
_ "github.com/lib/pq"
|
||
"gopkg.in/testfixtures.v2"
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
var (
|
||
db *sql.DB
|
||
fixtures *testfixtures.Context
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
|
||
var err error
|
||
|
||
// Open connection with the test database.
|
||
// Do NOT import fixtures in a production database!
|
||
// Existing data would be deleted
|
||
db, err = sql.Open("postgres", "dbname=myapp_test")
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// creating the context that hold the fixtures
|
||
// see about all compatible databases in this page below
|
||
fixtures, err = testfixtures.NewFolder(db, &testfixtures.PostgreSQL{}, "testdata/fixtures")
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
os.Exit(m.Run())
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
func prepareTestDatabase() {
|
||
if err := fixtures.Load(); err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
func TestX(t *testing.T) {
|
||
prepareTestDatabase()
|
||
// your test here ...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
func TestY(t *testing.T) {
|
||
prepareTestDatabase()
|
||
// your test here ...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
func TestZ(t *testing.T) {
|
||
prepareTestDatabase()
|
||
// your test here ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can use the `NewFiles` function, to specify which
|
||
files you want to load into the database:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
fixtures, err := testfixtures.NewFiles(db, &testfixtures.PostgreSQL{},
|
||
"fixtures/orders.yml",
|
||
"fixtures/customers.yml",
|
||
// add as many files you want
|
||
)
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatal(err)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Security check
|
||
|
||
In order to prevent you from accidentally wiping the wrong database, this
|
||
package will refuse to load fixtures if the database name (or database
|
||
filename for SQLite) doesn't contains "test". If you want to disable this
|
||
check, use:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
testfixtures.SkipDatabaseNameCheck(true)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Sequences
|
||
|
||
For PostgreSQL or Oracle, this package also resets all sequences to a high
|
||
number to prevent duplicated primary keys while running the tests.
|
||
The default is 10000, but you can change that with:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
testfixtures.ResetSequencesTo(10000)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Compatible databases
|
||
|
||
### PostgreSQL
|
||
|
||
This package has two approaches to disable foreign keys while importing fixtures
|
||
in PostgreSQL databases:
|
||
|
||
#### With `DISABLE TRIGGER`
|
||
|
||
This is the default approach. For that use:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.PostgreSQL{}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
With the above snippet this package will use `DISABLE TRIGGER` to temporarily
|
||
disabling foreign key constraints while loading fixtures. This work with any
|
||
version of PostgreSQL, but it is **required** to be connected in the database
|
||
as a SUPERUSER. You can make a PostgreSQL user a SUPERUSER with:
|
||
|
||
```sql
|
||
ALTER USER your_user SUPERUSER;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### With `ALTER CONSTRAINT`
|
||
|
||
This approach don't require to be connected as a SUPERUSER, but only work with
|
||
PostgreSQL versions >= 9.4. Try this if you are getting foreign key violation
|
||
errors with the previous approach. It is as simple as using:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.PostgreSQL{UseAlterConstraint: true}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### MySQL / MariaDB
|
||
|
||
Just make sure the connection string have
|
||
[the multistatement parameter](https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#multistatements)
|
||
set to true, and use:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.MySQL{}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### SQLite
|
||
|
||
SQLite is also supported. It is recommended to create foreign keys as
|
||
`DEFERRABLE` (the default) to prevent problems. See more
|
||
[on the SQLite documentation](https://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html#fk_deferred).
|
||
(Foreign key constraints are no-op by default on SQLite, but enabling it is
|
||
recommended).
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.SQLite{}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Microsoft SQL Server
|
||
|
||
SQL Server support requires SQL Server >= 2008. Inserting on `IDENTITY` columns
|
||
are handled as well. Just make sure you are logged in with a user with
|
||
`ALTER TABLE` permission.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.SQLServer{}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Oracle
|
||
|
||
Oracle is supported as well. Use:
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
&testfixtures.Oracle{}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Generating fixtures for a existing database (experimental)
|
||
|
||
The following code will generate a YAML file for each table of the database in
|
||
the given folder. It may be useful to boostrap a test scenario from a sample
|
||
database of your app.
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
err := testfixtures.GenerateFixtures(db, &testfixtures.PostgreSQL{}, "testdata/fixtures")
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatalf("Error generating fixtures: %v", err)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
err := testfixtures.GenerateFixturesForTables(
|
||
db,
|
||
[]*TableInfo{
|
||
&TableInfo{Name: "table_name", Where: "foo = 'bar'"},
|
||
// ...
|
||
},
|
||
&testfixtures.PostgreSQL{},
|
||
"testdata/fixtures",
|
||
)
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatalf("Error generating fixtures: %v", err)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> This was thought to run in small sample databases. It will likely break
|
||
if run in a production/big database.
|
||
|
||
## Contributing
|
||
|
||
Tests were written to ensure everything work as expected. You can run the tests
|
||
with:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# running tests for PostgreSQL
|
||
go test -tags postgresql
|
||
|
||
# running test for MySQL
|
||
go test -tags mysql
|
||
|
||
# running tests for SQLite
|
||
go test -tags sqlite
|
||
|
||
# running tests for SQL Server
|
||
go test -tags sqlserver
|
||
|
||
# running tests for Oracle
|
||
go test -tags oracle
|
||
|
||
# running test for multiple databases at once
|
||
go test -tags 'sqlite postgresql mysql'
|
||
|
||
# running tests + benchmark
|
||
go test -v -bench=. -tags postgresql
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Travis runs tests for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite. AppVeyor run for all
|
||
these and also Microsoft SQL Server.
|
||
|
||
To set the connection string of tests for each database, copy the `.sample.env`
|
||
file as `.env` and edit it according to your environment.
|
||
|
||
## Alternatives
|
||
|
||
If you don't think using fixtures is a good idea, you can try one of these
|
||
packages instead:
|
||
|
||
- [factory-go][factorygo]: Factory for Go. Inspired by Python's Factory Boy
|
||
and Ruby's Factory Girl
|
||
- [go-txdb (Single transaction SQL driver for Go)][gotxdb]: Use a single
|
||
database transaction for each functional test, so you can rollback to
|
||
previous state between tests to have the same database state in all tests
|
||
- [go-sqlmock][gosqlmock]: A mock for the sql.DB interface. This allow you to
|
||
unit test database code without having to connect to a real database
|
||
- [dbcleaner][dbcleaner] - Clean database for testing, inspired by
|
||
database_cleaner for Ruby
