Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Run comprehensive Go tests for Paryty Cluster — unit tests, race detection, integration tests, benchmarks, coverage, and escape analysis.
137 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Intermediate

Key capabilities

  • Run Go unit tests with verbose output
  • Perform race detection across the codebase
  • Execute benchmarks and report memory allocations
  • Generate code coverage reports
  • Conduct escape analysis on hot paths
  • Run `go vet` for static analysis

How it works

The skill executes a series of Go commands in a specified directory to perform unit tests, race detection, benchmarks, coverage analysis, escape analysis, and vet checks.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Go codebase in 'paryty-v1.0/cluster' directory
You get back
test results, race detection reports, benchmark data, coverage report, escape analysis findings, and vet output

When to use test-go

  • Running Go unit tests
  • Detecting race conditions
  • Benchmarking performance
  • Generating coverage reports

About this skill

Test Go — Comprehensive Go Testing

Execution Steps

Step 1: Unit Tests

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go test -v -count=1 ./... 2>&1

Step 2: Race Detection

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go test -race -count=1 ./... 2>&1

Step 3: Benchmarks

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go test -bench=. -benchmem -count=3 ./... 2>&1

Report any allocations in hot paths.

Step 4: Coverage Report

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go test -coverprofile=coverage.out -covermode=atomic ./... 2>&1
cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go tool cover -func=coverage.out | Select-String "total"

Step 5: Escape Analysis (Hot Paths)

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go build -gcflags="-m" ./cmd/pipeline/... 2>&1 | Select-String "escapes to heap"

Step 6: Vet

cd paryty-v1.0/cluster && go vet ./... 2>&1

Test Patterns Required

Table-Driven Tests

func TestXxx(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name     string
        input    Input
        expected Output
    }{ /* cases */ }
    for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) { /* assert */ })
    }
}

Integration Tests (build tag)

//go:build integration
func TestIngestion_GRPCStream(t *testing.T) { /* requires infra */ }

Coverage Requirements

PackageMinimum
internal/processing/80%
internal/storage/75%
internal/stream/75%
internal/api/70%
internal/models/90%

Exit Protocol

  • ALL pass: "All Go testing gates passed"
  • Test fails: Report name + assertion + file:line, STOP
  • Race detected: Report stacks, STOP
  • Coverage below threshold: Report packages, STOP
  • Benchmark regression >10%: Report, STOP

When not to use it

  • When testing a language other than Go
  • When only a subset of testing protocols is needed

Limitations

  • Specific to Go projects within the 'paryty-v1.0/cluster' directory
  • Requires specific test patterns like table-driven tests and integration tests with build tags
  • Enforces minimum coverage requirements for specified packages

How it compares

This workflow automates a complete suite of Go testing and analysis commands, providing a standardized and thorough evaluation of the codebase compared to running individual tests manually.
