<h2 id="pkg_example">An example package with tests</h2>
<p>
This example package, <code>numbers</code>, consists of the function
<code>Double</code>, which takes an <code>int</code> and returns that value
multiplied by 2. It consists of three files.
</p>
<p>
First, the package implementation, <code>numbers.go</code>:
</p>
<pre>
package numbers
func Double(i int) int {
return i * 2
}
</pre>
<p>
Next, the tests, <code>numbers_test.go</code>:
</p>
<pre>
package numbers
import (
"testing"
)
type doubleTest struct {
in, out int
}
var doubleTests = []doubleTest{
doubleTest{1, 2},
doubleTest{2, 4},
doubleTest{-5, -10},
}
func TestDouble(t *testing.T) {
for _, dt := range doubleTests {
v := Double(dt.in)
if v != dt.out {
t.Errorf("Double(%d) returns %d; should be %d.", dt.in, v, dt.out)
}
}
}
</pre>
<p>
Finally, the <code>Makefile</code>:
</p>
<pre>
include $(GOROOT)/src/Make.$(GOARCH)
TARG=numbers
GOFILES=\
numbers.go\
include $(GOROOT)/src/Make.pkg
</pre>
<p>
Running <code>make install</code> will build and install the package to
the <code>$GOROOT/pkg/</code> directory (it can then be used by any
program on the system).
</p>
<p>
Running <code>make test</code> (or just running the command
<code>gotest</code>) will rebuild the package, including the
<code>numbers_test.go</code> file, and then run the <code>TestDouble</code>
function. The output "<code>PASS</code>" indicates that all tests passed
successfully. Breaking the implementation by changing the multiplier from
<code>2</code> to <code>3</code> will allow you to see how failing tests are
reported.
</p>

<a href="/pkg/testing/">testing package</a> for more detail.
