What are the best practices for mocking in Go?

When mocking in Go, it's important to use interfaces to define the behavior of dependencies. This allows for easier testing.

Can you give me an example of how to create a mock in Go?

Sure! You can use a package like 'github.com/stretchr/testify/mock' to create mocks. Define an interface, then create a struct that embeds 'mock.Mock'.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when mocking?

Common mistakes include not resetting mocks between tests, over-mocking, and not testing the actual behavior of the code.

How do I test my mocks to ensure they work correctly?

You can use assertions provided by the mocking library to verify that the expected methods were called with the correct parameters.
