GoCracow #5 Golang and BDD - Bartłomiej Klimczak

There is godog library for BDD tests in Go. I found this library useful but it run as an external application which compiles our code. It has a several disadvantages:

• no debugging (breakpoints) in the test. Sometimes it’s useful to go through the whole execution step by step
• metrics don’t count the test run this way
• some style checkers recognise tests as dead code
• it’s impossible to use built-in features like build constraints.
• no context in steps - so the state have to be stored somewhere else - in my opinion, it makes the maintenance harder

In this presentation I tell about my library which should solve those issues.
