go test
is used for testing. A running PostgreSQL
server is required, with the ability to log in. The
database to connect to test with is “pqgotest,” on
“localhost” but these can be overridden using environment
variables.
Example:
PGHOST=/run/postgresql go test
A benchmark suite can be run as part of the tests:
go test -bench .
Run a postgres container:
docker run --expose 5432:5432 postgres
Run tests:
PGHOST=localhost PGPORT=5432 PGUSER=postgres PGSSLMODE=disable PGDATABASE=postgres go test
