GINKGO(1) General Commands Manual GINKGO(1)

NAME

ginkgo - The ginkgo CLI compiler

SYNOPSIS

flags packages -- pass-throughs
COMMAND options

DESCRIPTION

Ginkgo is a BDD-style Golang testing framework built to help you efficiently write expressive and comprehensive tests.

This page documents the ginkgo CLI, which offers a number of conveniences beyond what go test provides out of the box and its usage is recommended, but not necessary.

OPTIONS

ginkgo flags packages -- pass-throughs
Run the tests in packages (or the package in the current directory).

Any arguments after -- will be passed to the test. Run ginkgo test for a description of all valid flags.

ginkgo watch flags packages -- pass-throughs
Watches the files in packages and re-runs tests when changes occur.

Any arguments after -- will be passed to the test. Accepts all the flags that the ginkgo command accepts except for --keepGoing and --untilItFails.

ginkgo bootstrap flags
Bootstrap a test suite for the current package

ginkgo generate filenames
Generate a test file named filename_test.go

If the optional filenames argument is omitted, a file named after the package in the current directory will be created.

ginkgo nodot
Update the nodot declarations in your test suite

Any missing declarations (from, say, a recently added matcher) will be added to your bootstrap file. If you've renamed a declaration, that name will be honored and not overwritten.

ginkgo convert /path/to/package
Convert the package at the specified path from an XUnit-style test to a Ginkgo-style test

ginkgo unfocus
Recursively unfocuses any focused tests under the current directory
