How can I automate API tests in Go?

How can I automate API tests in Go?

You can use testing frameworks like Go's built-in "net/http" package along with "testing" to automate API tests.

Can you give me an example of a simple test?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "net/http/httptest"
    "testing"
)

func TestAPI(t *testing.T) {
    req := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "http://example.com/api", nil)
    w := httptest.NewRecorder()
    handler := http.HandlerFunc(yourHandlerFunction)
    handler.ServeHTTP(w, req)

    if status := w.Code; status != http.StatusOK {
        t.Errorf("wrong status code: got %v want %v", status, http.StatusOK)
    }
}

Replace yourHandlerFunction with your actual handler.

What libraries should I consider for more advanced testing?

For advanced testing, consider using libraries like "Ginkgo" for behavior-driven development and "Gomega" for assertions.

How do I run these tests?

You can run your tests using the command go test in your terminal from the directory containing your test files.
