Testing the Repository with SQLite
Learn how to write test cases to test the repository with SQLite.
We'll cover the following
We wrote tests for the
pomodoro
package using a helper function getRepo()
to obtain the repository. At
that time, only the inMemory
repository was available. Now that we’ve added
the sqlite3
repository, we’ll provide an alternative version of this function that
returns the new repository. We can control when to use each by applying
build tags.
Updating the sqlite3_test.go
file
We update the sqlite3_test.go
file in our editor to write the specific function for this
repository implementation. We add the build tag +build !inmemory
to use this file unless we provide the tag inmemory
, in which case it’ll include the file inmemory_test.go
instead. We already added the equivalent build tag to that file. We skip a line and
add the package
definition:
