Datadog SDK for Go testing
This SDK is part of Datadog's CI Visibility product, currently in beta.
Getting Started
Installing
Installation of the Datadog Go testing SDK is done via go get
:
go get -u github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing
Requires:
- Go >= 1.12
- Datadog's Trace Agent >= 5.21.1
Instrumenting your tests
To instrument tests that use Go's native
testing
package, you have to
call ddtesting.Run(m)
in your TestMain
function, and call
ddtesting.StartTest(t)
or ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
and defer finish()
on each test.
For example:
package go_sdk_sample
import (
"os"
"testing"
ddtesting "github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing"
)
func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
os.Exit(ddtesting.Run(m))
}
// Simple test without `context` usage
func TestSimpleExample(t *testing.T) {
_, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
defer finish()
// Test code...
}
// Test with subtests using `StartTestWithContext`
func TestExampleWithSubTests(t *testing.T) {
ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
defer finish()
testCases := []struct {
name string
}{
{"Sub01"},
{"Sub02"},
{"Sub03"},
{"Sub04"},
{"Sub05"},
}
for _, tc := range testCases {
t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
_, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
defer finish()
// Test code ...
})
}
}
Note that after this, you can use ctx
to refer to the context of the running test, which has information
about its trace. Use it when you make any external call to see the traces within the test span.
For example:
package go_sdk_sample
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"os"
"testing"
ddtesting "github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing"
ddhttp "gopkg.in/DataDog/dd-trace-go.v1/contrib/net/http"
ddtracer "gopkg.in/DataDog/dd-trace-go.v1/ddtrace/tracer"
)
func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
os.Exit(ddtesting.Run(m))
}
func TestWithExternalCalls(t *testing.T) {
ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
defer finish()
s := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hello World"))
}))
defer s.Close()
t.Run("default", func(t *testing.T) {
ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
defer finish()
rt := ddhttp.WrapRoundTripper(http.DefaultTransport)
client := &http.Client{
Transport: rt,
}
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", s.URL+"/hello/world", nil)
if err != nil {
t.FailNow()
}
req = req.WithContext(ctx)
client.Do(req)
})
t.Run("custom-name", func(t *testing.T) {
ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
defer finish()
span, _ := ddtracer.SpanFromContext(ctx)
customNamer := func(req *http.Request) string {
value := fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", req.Method, req.URL.Path)
span.SetTag("customNamer.Value", value)
return value
}
rt := ddhttp.WrapRoundTripper(http.DefaultTransport, ddhttp.RTWithResourceNamer(customNamer))
client := &http.Client{
Transport: rt,
}
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", s.URL+"/hello/world", nil)
if err != nil {
t.FailNow()
}
req = req.WithContext(ctx)
client.Do(req)
})
}
