Hands-On Software Engineering with Golang

Setting up a test suite for the in-memory indexer

The test suite for the in-memory indexer implementation embeds the shared test suite we outlined in the Verifying indexer implementations using a shared test suite section. Since the suite depends on the gocheck framework, we need to add some extra code to register the suite with the go test framework:

var _ = gc.Suite(new(InMemoryBleveTestSuite))

type InMemoryBleveTestSuite struct {
    indextest.SuiteBase
    idx *InMemoryBleveIndexer
}

// Register our test-suite with go test.
func Test(t *testing.T) { gc.TestingT(t) }

To ensure that each test uses a clean index instance, the suite provides a per-test setup method that recreates the index before running each test:

func (s *InMemoryBleveTestSuite) ...
