About

go test with colors

gotest

Like go test but with colors.

Installation

Use the pre-built binary for Linux 64-bit:

$ curl https://gotest-release.s3.amazonaws.com/gotest_linux > gotest && chmod +x gotest

Alternatively:

$ go install github.com/rakyll/gotest@latest

Usage

Accepts all the arguments and flags go test works with.

Example:

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

gotest comes with many colors! Configure the color of the output by setting the following env variable:

$ GOTEST_PALETTE="magenta,white"

The output will have magenta for failed cases, white for success. Available colors: black, hiblack, red, hired, green, higreen, yellow, hiyellow, blue, hiblue, magenta, himagenta, cyan, hicyan, white, hiwhite.

Configuration

Environment Variables

GOTEST_PALETTE: Customize the colors for test output (format: "fail_color,pass_color")

$ GOTEST_PALETTE="red,green" gotest -v ./...

GOTEST_SKIPNOTESTS: Skip printing "[no test files]" messages (set to "true" to enable)

$ GOTEST_SKIPNOTESTS="true" gotest -v ./...

CI Detection: gotest automatically enables colored output when running on CI systems (Travis, AppVeyor, GitLab CI, CircleCI). Colors are enabled by default on these platforms even if the terminal doesn't support them.
