- <h3 id="hdr-Compile_packages_and_dependencies">Compile packages and dependencies</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go build [-o output] [-i] [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Build compiles the packages named by the import paths,
- along with their dependencies, but it does not install the results.
- </p>
- <p>
- If the arguments to build are a list of .go files, build treats
- them as a list of source files specifying a single package.
- </p>
- <p>
- When compiling a single main package, build writes
- the resulting executable to an output file named after
- the first source file ('go build ed.go rx.go' writes 'ed' or 'ed.exe')
- or the source code directory ('go build unix/sam' writes 'sam' or 'sam.exe').
- The '.exe' suffix is added when writing a Windows executable.
- </p>
- <p>
- When compiling multiple packages or a single non-main package,
- build compiles the packages but discards the resulting object,
- serving only as a check that the packages can be built.
- </p>
- <p>
- When compiling packages, build ignores files that end in '_test.go'.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -o flag, only allowed when compiling a single package,
- forces build to write the resulting executable or object
- to the named output file, instead of the default behavior described
- in the last two paragraphs.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -i flag installs the packages that are dependencies of the target.
- </p>
- <p>
- The build flags are shared by the build, clean, get, install, list, run,
- and test commands:
- </p>
- <pre>-a
- force rebuilding of packages that are already up-to-date.
- -n
- print the commands but do not run them.
- -p n
- the number of programs, such as build commands or
- test binaries, that can be run in parallel.
- The default is the number of CPUs available.
- -race
- enable data race detection.
- Supported only on linux/amd64, freebsd/amd64, darwin/amd64 and windows/amd64.
- -msan
- enable interoperation with memory sanitizer.
- Supported only on linux/amd64,
- and only with Clang/LLVM as the host C compiler.
- -v
- print the names of packages as they are compiled.
- -work
- print the name of the temporary work directory and
- do not delete it when exiting.
- -x
- print the commands.
- -asmflags 'flag list'
- arguments to pass on each go tool asm invocation.
- -buildmode mode
- build mode to use. See 'go help buildmode' for more.
- -compiler name
- name of compiler to use, as in runtime.Compiler (gccgo or gc).
- -gccgoflags 'arg list'
- arguments to pass on each gccgo compiler/linker invocation.
- -gcflags 'arg list'
- arguments to pass on each go tool compile invocation.
- -installsuffix suffix
- a suffix to use in the name of the package installation directory,
- in order to keep output separate from default builds.
- If using the -race flag, the install suffix is automatically set to race
- or, if set explicitly, has _race appended to it. Likewise for the -msan
- flag. Using a -buildmode option that requires non-default compile flags
- has a similar effect.
- -ldflags 'flag list'
- arguments to pass on each go tool link invocation.
- -linkshared
- link against shared libraries previously created with
- -buildmode=shared.
- -pkgdir dir
- install and load all packages from dir instead of the usual locations.
- For example, when building with a non-standard configuration,
- use -pkgdir to keep generated packages in a separate location.
- -tags 'tag list'
- a list of build tags to consider satisfied during the build.
- For more information about build tags, see the description of
- build constraints in the documentation for the go/build package.
- -toolexec 'cmd args'
- a program to use to invoke toolchain programs like vet and asm.
- For example, instead of running asm, the go command will run
- 'cmd args /path/to/asm <arguments for asm>'.
- </pre>
- <p>
- The list flags accept a space-separated list of strings. To embed spaces
- in an element in the list, surround it with either single or double quotes.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- For more about where packages and binaries are installed,
- run 'go help gopath'.
- For more about calling between Go and C/C++, run 'go help c'.
- </p>
- <p>
- Note: Build adheres to certain conventions such as those described
- by 'go help gopath'. Not all projects can follow these conventions,
- however. Installations that have their own conventions or that use
- a separate software build system may choose to use lower-level
- invocations such as 'go tool compile' and 'go tool link' to avoid
- some of the overheads and design decisions of the build tool.

- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Remove_object_files">Remove object files</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go clean [-i] [-r] [-n] [-x] [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Clean removes object files from package source directories.
- The go command builds most objects in a temporary directory,
- so go clean is mainly concerned with object files left by other
- tools or by manual invocations of go build.
- </p>
- <p>
- Specifically, clean removes the following files from each of the
- source directories corresponding to the import paths:
- </p>
- <pre>_obj/ old object directory, left from Makefiles
- _test/ old test directory, left from Makefiles
- _testmain.go old gotest file, left from Makefiles
- test.out old test log, left from Makefiles
- build.out old test log, left from Makefiles
- *.[568ao] object files, left from Makefiles
- DIR(.exe) from go build
- DIR.test(.exe) from go test -c
- MAINFILE(.exe) from go build MAINFILE.go
- *.so from SWIG
- </pre>
- <p>
- In the list, DIR represents the final path element of the
- directory, and MAINFILE is the base name of any Go source
- file in the directory that is not included when building
- the package.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -i flag causes clean to remove the corresponding installed
- archive or binary (what 'go install' would create).
- </p>
- <p>
- The -n flag causes clean to print the remove commands it would execute,
- but not run them.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -r flag causes clean to be applied recursively to all the
- dependencies of the packages named by the import paths.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -x flag causes clean to print remove commands as it executes them.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about build flags, see 'go help build'.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Show_documentation_for_package_or_symbol">Show documentation for package or symbol</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go doc [-u] [-c] [package|[package.]symbol[.method]]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the item identified by its
- arguments (a package, const, func, type, var, or method) followed by a one-line
- summary of each of the first-level items "under" that item (package-level
- declarations for a package, methods for a type, etc.).
- </p>
- <p>
- Doc accepts zero, one, or two arguments.
- </p>
- <p>
- Given no arguments, that is, when run as
- </p>
- <pre>go doc
- </pre>
- <p>
- it prints the package documentation for the package in the current directory.
- If the package is a command (package main), the exported symbols of the package
- are elided from the presentation unless the -cmd flag is provided.
- </p>
- <p>
- When run with one argument, the argument is treated as a Go-syntax-like
- representation of the item to be documented. What the argument selects depends
- on what is installed in GOROOT and GOPATH, as well as the form of the argument,
- which is schematically one of these:
- </p>
- <pre>go doc <pkg>
- go doc <sym>[.<method>]
- go doc [<pkg>.]<sym>[.<method>]
- go doc [<pkg>.][<sym>.]<method>
- </pre>
- <p>
- The first item in this list matched by the argument is the one whose documentation
- is printed. (See the examples below.) However, if the argument starts with a capital
- letter it is assumed to identify a symbol or method in the current directory.
- </p>
- <p>
- For packages, the order of scanning is determined lexically in breadth-first order.
- That is, the package presented is the one that matches the search and is nearest
- the root and lexically first at its level of the hierarchy. The GOROOT tree is
- always scanned in its entirety before GOPATH.
- </p>
- <p>
- If there is no package specified or matched, the package in the current
- directory is selected, so "go doc Foo" shows the documentation for symbol Foo in
- the current package.
- </p>
- <p>
- The package path must be either a qualified path or a proper suffix of a
- path. The go tool's usual package mechanism does not apply: package path
- elements like . and ... are not implemented by go doc.
- </p>
- <p>
- When run with two arguments, the first must be a full package path (not just a
- suffix), and the second is a symbol or symbol and method; this is similar to the
- syntax accepted by godoc:
- </p>
- <pre>go doc <pkg> <sym>[.<method>]
- </pre>
- <p>
- In all forms, when matching symbols, lower-case letters in the argument match
- either case but upper-case letters match exactly. This means that there may be
- multiple matches of a lower-case argument in a package if different symbols have
- different cases. If this occurs, documentation for all matches is printed.
- </p>
- <p>
- Examples:
- </p>
- <pre>go doc
- Show documentation for current package.
- go doc Foo
- Show documentation for Foo in the current package.
- (Foo starts with a capital letter so it cannot match
- a package path.)
- go doc encoding/json
- Show documentation for the encoding/json package.
- go doc json
- Shorthand for encoding/json.
- go doc json.Number (or go doc json.number)
- Show documentation and method summary for json.Number.
- go doc json.Number.Int64 (or go doc json.number.int64)
- Show documentation for json.Number's Int64 method.
- go doc cmd/doc
- Show package docs for the doc command.
- go doc -cmd cmd/doc
- Show package docs and exported symbols within the doc command.
- go doc template.new
- Show documentation for html/template's New function.
- (html/template is lexically before text/template)
- go doc text/template.new # One argument
- Show documentation for text/template's New function.
- go doc text/template new # Two arguments
- Show documentation for text/template's New function.
- At least in the current tree, these invocations all print the
- documentation for json.Decoder's Decode method:
- go doc json.Decoder.Decode
- go doc json.decoder.decode
- go doc json.decode
- cd go/src/encoding/json; go doc decode
- </pre>
- <p>
- Flags:
- </p>
- <pre>-c
- Respect case when matching symbols.
- -cmd
- Treat a command (package main) like a regular package.
- Otherwise package main's exported symbols are hidden
- when showing the package's top-level documentation.
- -u
- Show documentation for unexported as well as exported
- symbols and methods.
- </pre>
- <h3 id="hdr-Print_Go_environment_information">Print Go environment information</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go env [var ...]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Env prints Go environment information.
- </p>
- <p>
- By default env prints information as a shell script
- (on Windows, a batch file). If one or more variable
- names is given as arguments, env prints the value of
- each named variable on its own line.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Start_a_bug_report">Start a bug report</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go bug
- </pre>
- <p>
- Bug opens the default browser and starts a new bug report.
- The report includes useful system information.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Run_go_tool_fix_on_packages">Run go tool fix on packages</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go fix [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Fix runs the Go fix command on the packages named by the import paths.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about fix, see 'go doc cmd/fix'.
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <p>
- To run fix with specific options, run 'go tool fix'.
- </p>
- <p>
- See also: go fmt, go vet.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Run_gofmt_on_package_sources">Run gofmt on package sources</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go fmt [-n] [-x] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Fmt runs the command 'gofmt -l -w' on the packages named
- by the import paths. It prints the names of the files that are modified.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about gofmt, see 'go doc cmd/gofmt'.
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.
- The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.
- </p>
- <p>
- To run gofmt with specific options, run gofmt itself.
- </p>
- <p>
- See also: go fix, go vet.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Generate_Go_files_by_processing_source">Generate Go files by processing source</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go generate [-run regexp] [-n] [-v] [-x] [build flags] [file.go... | packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Generate runs commands described by directives within existing
- files. Those commands can run any process but the intent is to
- create or update Go source files.
- </p>
- <p>
- Go generate is never run automatically by go build, go get, go test,
- and so on. It must be run explicitly.
- </p>
- <p>
- Go generate scans the file for directives, which are lines of
- the form,
- </p>
- <pre>//go:generate command argument...
- </pre>
- <p>
- (note: no leading spaces and no space in "//go") where command
- is the generator to be run, corresponding to an executable file
- that can be run locally. It must either be in the shell path
- (gofmt), a fully qualified path (/usr/you/bin/mytool), or a
- command alias, described below.
- </p>
- <p>
- Note that go generate does not parse the file, so lines that look
- like directives in comments or multiline strings will be treated
- as directives.
- </p>
- <p>
- The arguments to the directive are space-separated tokens or
- double-quoted strings passed to the generator as individual
- arguments when it is run.
- </p>
- <p>
- Quoted strings use Go syntax and are evaluated before execution; a
- quoted string appears as a single argument to the generator.
- </p>
- <p>
- Go generate sets several variables when it runs the generator:
- </p>
- <pre>$GOARCH
- The execution architecture (arm, amd64, etc.)
- $GOOS
- The execution operating system (linux, windows, etc.)
- $GOFILE
- The base name of the file.
- $GOLINE
- The line number of the directive in the source file.
- $GOPACKAGE
- The name of the package of the file containing the directive.
- $DOLLAR
- A dollar sign.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Other than variable substitution and quoted-string evaluation, no
- special processing such as "globbing" is performed on the command
- line.
- </p>
- <p>
- As a last step before running the command, any invocations of any
- environment variables with alphanumeric names, such as $GOFILE or
- $HOME, are expanded throughout the command line. The syntax for
- variable expansion is $NAME on all operating systems. Due to the
- order of evaluation, variables are expanded even inside quoted
- strings. If the variable NAME is not set, $NAME expands to the
- empty string.
- </p>
- <p>
- A directive of the form,
- </p>
- <pre>//go:generate -command xxx args...
- </pre>
- <p>
- specifies, for the remainder of this source file only, that the
- string xxx represents the command identified by the arguments. This
- can be used to create aliases or to handle multiword generators.
- For example,
- </p>
- <pre>//go:generate -command foo go tool foo
- </pre>
- <p>
- specifies that the command "foo" represents the generator
- "go tool foo".
- </p>
- <p>
- Generate processes packages in the order given on the command line,
- one at a time. If the command line lists .go files, they are treated
- as a single package. Within a package, generate processes the
- source files in a package in file name order, one at a time. Within
- a source file, generate runs generators in the order they appear
- in the file, one at a time.
- </p>
- <p>
- If any generator returns an error exit status, "go generate" skips
- all further processing for that package.
- </p>
- <p>
- The generator is run in the package's source directory.
- </p>
- <p>
- Go generate accepts one specific flag:
- </p>
- <pre>-run=""
- if non-empty, specifies a regular expression to select
- directives whose full original source text (excluding
- any trailing spaces and final newline) matches the
- expression.
- </pre>
- <p>
- It also accepts the standard build flags including -v, -n, and -x.
- The -v flag prints the names of packages and files as they are
- processed.
- The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.
- The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about build flags, see 'go help build'.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Download_and_install_packages_and_dependencies">Download and install packages and dependencies</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go get [-d] [-f] [-fix] [-insecure] [-t] [-u] [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Get downloads the packages named by the import paths, along with their
- dependencies. It then installs the named packages, like 'go install'.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -d flag instructs get to stop after downloading the packages; that is,
- it instructs get not to install the packages.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -f flag, valid only when -u is set, forces get -u not to verify that
- each package has been checked out from the source control repository
- implied by its import path. This can be useful if the source is a local fork
- of the original.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -fix flag instructs get to run the fix tool on the downloaded packages
- before resolving dependencies or building the code.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -insecure flag permits fetching from repositories and resolving
- custom domains using insecure schemes such as HTTP. Use with caution.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -t flag instructs get to also download the packages required to build
- the tests for the specified packages.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages
- and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network to check out
- missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -v flag enables verbose progress and debug output.
- </p>
- <p>
- Get also accepts build flags to control the installation. See 'go help build'.
- </p>
- <p>
- When checking out a new package, get creates the target directory
- GOPATH/src/<import-path>. If the GOPATH contains multiple entries,
- get uses the first one. For more details see: 'go help gopath'.
- </p>
- <p>
- When checking out or updating a package, get looks for a branch or tag
- that matches the locally installed version of Go. The most important
- rule is that if the local installation is running version "go1", get
- searches for a branch or tag named "go1". If no such version exists it
- retrieves the most recent version of the package.
- </p>
- <p>
- When go get checks out or updates a Git repository,
- it also updates any git submodules referenced by the repository.
- </p>
- <p>
- Get never checks out or updates code stored in vendor directories.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about how 'go get' finds source code to
- download, see 'go help importpath'.

- <h3 id="hdr-Compile_and_install_packages_and_dependencies">Compile and install packages and dependencies</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go install [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Install compiles and installs the packages named by the import paths,
- along with their dependencies.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about the build flags, see 'go help build'.
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <p>
- See also: go build, go get, go clean.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-List_packages">List packages</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go list [-e] [-f format] [-json] [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- List lists the packages named by the import paths, one per line.
- </p>
- <p>
- The default output shows the package import path:
- </p>
- <pre>bytes
- encoding/json
- github.com/gorilla/mux
- golang.org/x/net/html
- </pre>
- <p>
- The -f flag specifies an alternate format for the list, using the
- syntax of package template. The default output is equivalent to -f
- ''. The struct being passed to the template is:
- </p>
- <pre>type Package struct {
- Dir string // directory containing package sources
- ImportPath string // import path of package in dir
- ImportComment string // path in import comment on package statement
- Name string // package name
- Doc string // package documentation string
- Target string // install path
- Shlib string // the shared library that contains this package (only set when -linkshared)
- Goroot bool // is this package in the Go root?
- Standard bool // is this package part of the standard Go library?
- Stale bool // would 'go install' do anything for this package?
- StaleReason string // explanation for Stale==true
- Root string // Go root or Go path dir containing this package
- ConflictDir string // this directory shadows Dir in $GOPATH
- BinaryOnly bool // binary-only package: cannot be recompiled from sources
- // Source files
- GoFiles []string // .go source files (excluding CgoFiles, TestGoFiles, XTestGoFiles)
- CgoFiles []string // .go sources files that import "C"
- IgnoredGoFiles []string // .go sources ignored due to build constraints
- CFiles []string // .c source files
- CXXFiles []string // .cc, .cxx and .cpp source files
- MFiles []string // .m source files
- HFiles []string // .h, .hh, .hpp and .hxx source files
- FFiles []string // .f, .F, .for and .f90 Fortran source files
- SFiles []string // .s source files
- SwigFiles []string // .swig files
- SwigCXXFiles []string // .swigcxx files
- SysoFiles []string // .syso object files to add to archive

- CgoFFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for Fortran compiler
- CgoLDFLAGS []string // cgo: flags for linker
- CgoPkgConfig []string // cgo: pkg-config names
- // Dependency information
- Imports []string // import paths used by this package
- Deps []string // all (recursively) imported dependencies
- TestImports []string // imports from TestGoFiles
- XTestImports []string // imports from XTestGoFiles
- // Error information
- Incomplete bool // this package or a dependency has an error
- Error *PackageError // error loading package
- DepsErrors []*PackageError // errors loading dependencies
- }
- </pre>
- <p>
- Packages stored in vendor directories report an ImportPath that includes the
- path to the vendor directory (for example, "d/vendor/p" instead of "p"),
- so that the ImportPath uniquely identifies a given copy of a package.
- The Imports, Deps, TestImports, and XTestImports lists also contain these
- expanded imports paths. See golang.org/s/go15vendor for more about vendoring.
- </p>
- <p>
- The error information, if any, is
- </p>
- <pre>type PackageError struct {
- ImportStack []string // shortest path from package named on command line to this one
- Pos string // position of error (if present, file:line:col)
- Err string // the error itself
- }
- </pre>
- <p>
- The template function "join" calls strings.Join.
- </p>
- <p>
- The template function "context" returns the build context, defined as:
- </p>
- <pre>type Context struct {
- GOARCH string // target architecture
- GOOS string // target operating system
- GOROOT string // Go root
- GOPATH string // Go path
- CgoEnabled bool // whether cgo can be used
- UseAllFiles bool // use files regardless of +build lines, file names
- Compiler string // compiler to assume when computing target paths
- BuildTags []string // build constraints to match in +build lines
- ReleaseTags []string // releases the current release is compatible with
- InstallSuffix string // suffix to use in the name of the install dir
- }
- </pre>
- <p>
- For more information about the meaning of these fields see the documentation
- for the go/build package's Context type.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -json flag causes the package data to be printed in JSON format
- instead of using the template format.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -e flag changes the handling of erroneous packages, those that
- cannot be found or are malformed. By default, the list command
- prints an error to standard error for each erroneous package and
- omits the packages from consideration during the usual printing.
- With the -e flag, the list command never prints errors to standard
- error and instead processes the erroneous packages with the usual
- printing. Erroneous packages will have a non-empty ImportPath and
- a non-nil Error field; other information may or may not be missing
- (zeroed).

- <h3 id="hdr-Compile_and_run_Go_program">Compile and run Go program</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go run [build flags] [-exec xprog] gofiles... [arguments...]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Run compiles and runs the main package comprising the named Go source files.
- A Go source file is defined to be a file ending in a literal ".go" suffix.
- </p>
- <p>
- By default, 'go run' runs the compiled binary directly: 'a.out arguments...'.
- If the -exec flag is given, 'go run' invokes the binary using xprog:
- </p>
- <pre>'xprog a.out arguments...'.
- </pre>
- <p>
- If the -exec flag is not given, GOOS or GOARCH is different from the system
- default, and a program named go_$GOOS_$GOARCH_exec can be found
- on the current search path, 'go run' invokes the binary using that program,
- for example 'go_nacl_386_exec a.out arguments...'. This allows execution of
- cross-compiled programs when a simulator or other execution method is
- available.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about build flags, see 'go help build'.
- </p>
- <p>
- See also: go build.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Test_packages">Test packages</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go test [build/test flags] [packages] [build/test flags & test binary flags]
- </pre>
- <p>
- 'Go test' automates testing the packages named by the import paths.
- It prints a summary of the test results in the format:
- </p>
- <pre>ok archive/tar 0.011s
- FAIL archive/zip 0.022s
- ok compress/gzip 0.033s
- ...
- </pre>
- <p>
- followed by detailed output for each failed package.
- </p>
- <p>
- 'Go test' recompiles each package along with any files with names matching
- the file pattern "*_test.go".
- Files whose names begin with "_" (including "_test.go") or "." are ignored.
- These additional files can contain test functions, benchmark functions, and
- example functions. See 'go help testfunc' for more.
- Each listed package causes the execution of a separate test binary.
- </p>
- <p>
- Test files that declare a package with the suffix "_test" will be compiled as a
- separate package, and then linked and run with the main test binary.
- </p>
- <p>
- The go tool will ignore a directory named "testdata", making it available
- to hold ancillary data needed by the tests.
- </p>
- <p>
- By default, go test needs no arguments. It compiles and tests the package
- with source in the current directory, including tests, and runs the tests.
- </p>
- <p>
- The package is built in a temporary directory so it does not interfere with the
- non-test installation.
- </p>
- <p>
- In addition to the build flags, the flags handled by 'go test' itself are:
- </p>
- <pre>-args
- Pass the remainder of the command line (everything after -args)
- to the test binary, uninterpreted and unchanged.
- Because this flag consumes the remainder of the command line,
- the package list (if present) must appear before this flag.
- -c
- Compile the test binary to pkg.test but do not run it
- (where pkg is the last element of the package's import path).
- The file name can be changed with the -o flag.
- -exec xprog
- Run the test binary using xprog. The behavior is the same as
- in 'go run'. See 'go help run' for details.
- -i
- Install packages that are dependencies of the test.
- Do not run the test.
- -o file
- Compile the test binary to the named file.
- The test still runs (unless -c or -i is specified).
- </pre>
- <p>
- The test binary also accepts flags that control execution of the test; these
- flags are also accessible by 'go test'. See 'go help testflag' for details.

- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go tool [-n] command [args...]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Tool runs the go tool command identified by the arguments.
- With no arguments it prints the list of known tools.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -n flag causes tool to print the command that would be
- executed but not execute it.

- Version prints the Go version, as reported by runtime.Version.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Run_go_tool_vet_on_packages">Run go tool vet on packages</h3>
- <p>
- Usage:
- </p>
- <pre>go vet [-n] [-x] [build flags] [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Vet runs the Go vet command on the packages named by the import paths.
- </p>
- <p>
- For more about vet, see 'go doc cmd/vet'.
- For more about specifying packages, see 'go help packages'.
- </p>
- <p>
- To run the vet tool with specific options, run 'go tool vet'.
- </p>
- <p>
- The -n flag prints commands that would be executed.
- The -x flag prints commands as they are executed.

- <h3 id="hdr-Calling_between_Go_and_C">Calling between Go and C</h3>
- <p>
- There are two different ways to call between Go and C/C++ code.
- </p>
- <p>
- The first is the cgo tool, which is part of the Go distribution. For
- information on how to use it see the cgo documentation (go doc cmd/cgo).
- </p>
- <p>
- The second is the SWIG program, which is a general tool for
- interfacing between languages. For information on SWIG see
- <a href="http://swig.org/">http://swig.org/</a>. When running go build, any file with a .swig
- extension will be passed to SWIG. Any file with a .swigcxx extension
- will be passed to SWIG with the -c++ option.
- </p>
- <p>
- When either cgo or SWIG is used, go build will pass any .c, .m, .s,
- or .S files to the C compiler, and any .cc, .cpp, .cxx files to the C++
- compiler. The CC or CXX environment variables may be set to determine
- the C or C++ compiler, respectively, to use.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Description_of_build_modes">Description of build modes</h3>
- <p>
- The 'go build' and 'go install' commands take a -buildmode argument which
- indicates which kind of object file is to be built. Currently supported values
- are:
- </p>
- <pre>-buildmode=archive
- Build the listed non-main packages into .a files. Packages named
- main are ignored.
- -buildmode=c-archive
- Build the listed main package, plus all packages it imports,
- into a C archive file. The only callable symbols will be those
- functions exported using a cgo //export comment. Requires
- exactly one main package to be listed.
- -buildmode=c-shared
- Build the listed main packages, plus all packages that they
- import, into C shared libraries. The only callable symbols will
- be those functions exported using a cgo //export comment.
- Non-main packages are ignored.
- -buildmode=default
- Listed main packages are built into executables and listed
- non-main packages are built into .a files (the default
- behavior).
- -buildmode=shared
- Combine all the listed non-main packages into a single shared
- library that will be used when building with the -linkshared
- option. Packages named main are ignored.
- -buildmode=exe
- Build the listed main packages and everything they import into
- executables. Packages not named main are ignored.
- -buildmode=pie
- Build the listed main packages and everything they import into
- position independent executables (PIE). Packages not named
- main are ignored.
- -buildmode=plugin
- Build the listed main packages, plus all packages that they
- import, into a Go plugin. Packages not named main are ignored.
- </pre>
- <h3 id="hdr-File_types">File types</h3>
- <p>
- The go command examines the contents of a restricted set of files
- in each directory. It identifies which files to examine based on
- the extension of the file name. These extensions are:
- </p>
- <pre>.go
- Go source files.
- .c, .h
- C source files.
- If the package uses cgo or SWIG, these will be compiled with the
- OS-native compiler (typically gcc); otherwise they will
- trigger an error.
- .cc, .cpp, .cxx, .hh, .hpp, .hxx
- C++ source files. Only useful with cgo or SWIG, and always
- compiled with the OS-native compiler.
- .m
- Objective-C source files. Only useful with cgo, and always
- compiled with the OS-native compiler.
- .s, .S
- Assembler source files.
- If the package uses cgo or SWIG, these will be assembled with the
- OS-native assembler (typically gcc (sic)); otherwise they
- will be assembled with the Go assembler.
- .swig, .swigcxx
- SWIG definition files.
- .syso
- System object files.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Files of each of these types except .syso may contain build
- constraints, but the go command stops scanning for build constraints
- at the first item in the file that is not a blank line or //-style
- line comment. See the go/build package documentation for
- more details.
- </p>
- <p>
- Non-test Go source files can also include a //go:binary-only-package
- comment, indicating that the package sources are included
- for documentation only and must not be used to build the
- package binary. This enables distribution of Go packages in
- their compiled form alone. See the go/build package documentation
- for more details.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-GOPATH_environment_variable">GOPATH environment variable</h3>
- <p>
- The Go path is used to resolve import statements.
- It is implemented by and documented in the go/build package.
- </p>
- <p>
- The GOPATH environment variable lists places to look for Go code.
- On Unix, the value is a colon-separated string.
- On Windows, the value is a semicolon-separated string.
- On Plan 9, the value is a list.
- </p>
- <p>
- If the environment variable is unset, GOPATH defaults
- to a subdirectory named "go" in the user's home directory
- ($HOME/go on Unix, %USERPROFILE%\go on Windows),
- unless that directory holds a Go distribution.
- Run "go env GOPATH" to see the current GOPATH.
- </p>
- <p>
- See <a href="https://golang.org/wiki/SettingGOPATH">https://golang.org/wiki/SettingGOPATH</a> to set a custom GOPATH.
- </p>
- <p>
- Each directory listed in GOPATH must have a prescribed structure:
- </p>
- <p>
- The src directory holds source code. The path below src
- determines the import path or executable name.
- </p>
- <p>
- The pkg directory holds installed package objects.
- As in the Go tree, each target operating system and
- architecture pair has its own subdirectory of pkg
- (pkg/GOOS_GOARCH).
- </p>
- <p>
- If DIR is a directory listed in the GOPATH, a package with
- source in DIR/src/foo/bar can be imported as "foo/bar" and
- has its compiled form installed to "DIR/pkg/GOOS_GOARCH/foo/bar.a".
- </p>
- <p>
- The bin directory holds compiled commands.
- Each command is named for its source directory, but only
- the final element, not the entire path. That is, the
- command with source in DIR/src/foo/quux is installed into
- DIR/bin/quux, not DIR/bin/foo/quux. The "foo/" prefix is stripped
- so that you can add DIR/bin to your PATH to get at the
- installed commands. If the GOBIN environment variable is
- set, commands are installed to the directory it names instead
- of DIR/bin. GOBIN must be an absolute path.
- </p>
- <p>
- Here's an example directory layout:
- </p>
- <pre>GOPATH=/home/user/go
- /home/user/go/
- src/
- foo/
- bar/ (go code in package bar)
- x.go
- quux/ (go code in package main)
- y.go
- bin/
- quux (installed command)
- pkg/
- linux_amd64/
- foo/
- bar.a (installed package object)
- </pre>
- <p>
- Go searches each directory listed in GOPATH to find source code,
- but new packages are always downloaded into the first directory
- in the list.
- </p>
- <p>
- See <a href="https://golang.org/doc/code.html">https://golang.org/doc/code.html</a> for an example.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Internal_Directories">Internal Directories</h3>
- <p>
- Code in or below a directory named "internal" is importable only
- by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "internal".
- Here's an extended version of the directory layout above:
- </p>
- <pre>/home/user/go/
- src/
- crash/
- bang/ (go code in package bang)
- b.go
- foo/ (go code in package foo)
- f.go
- bar/ (go code in package bar)
- x.go
- internal/
- baz/ (go code in package baz)
- z.go
- quux/ (go code in package main)
- y.go
- </pre>
- <p>
- The code in z.go is imported as "foo/internal/baz", but that
- import statement can only appear in source files in the subtree
- rooted at foo. The source files foo/f.go, foo/bar/x.go, and
- foo/quux/y.go can all import "foo/internal/baz", but the source file
- crash/bang/b.go cannot.
- </p>
- <p>
- See <a href="https://golang.org/s/go14internal">https://golang.org/s/go14internal</a> for details.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Vendor_Directories">Vendor Directories</h3>
- <p>
- Go 1.6 includes support for using local copies of external dependencies
- to satisfy imports of those dependencies, often referred to as vendoring.
- </p>
- <p>
- Code below a directory named "vendor" is importable only
- by code in the directory tree rooted at the parent of "vendor",
- and only using an import path that omits the prefix up to and
- including the vendor element.
- </p>
- <p>
- Here's the example from the previous section,
- but with the "internal" directory renamed to "vendor"
- and a new foo/vendor/crash/bang directory added:
- </p>
- <pre>/home/user/go/
- src/
- crash/
- bang/ (go code in package bang)
- b.go
- foo/ (go code in package foo)
- f.go
- bar/ (go code in package bar)
- x.go
- vendor/
- crash/
- bang/ (go code in package bang)
- b.go
- baz/ (go code in package baz)
- z.go
- quux/ (go code in package main)
- y.go
- </pre>
- <p>
- The same visibility rules apply as for internal, but the code
- in z.go is imported as "baz", not as "foo/vendor/baz".
- </p>
- <p>
- Code in vendor directories deeper in the source tree shadows
- code in higher directories. Within the subtree rooted at foo, an import
- of "crash/bang" resolves to "foo/vendor/crash/bang", not the
- top-level "crash/bang".
- </p>
- <p>
- Code in vendor directories is not subject to import path
- checking (see 'go help importpath').
- </p>
- <p>
- When 'go get' checks out or updates a git repository, it now also
- updates submodules.
- </p>
- <p>
- Vendor directories do not affect the placement of new repositories
- being checked out for the first time by 'go get': those are always
- placed in the main GOPATH, never in a vendor subtree.
- </p>
- <p>
- See <a href="https://golang.org/s/go15vendor">https://golang.org/s/go15vendor</a> for details.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Environment_variables">Environment variables</h3>
- <p>
- The go command, and the tools it invokes, examine a few different
- environment variables. For many of these, you can see the default
- value of on your system by running 'go env NAME', where NAME is the
- name of the variable.
- </p>
- <p>
- General-purpose environment variables:
- </p>
- <pre>GCCGO
- The gccgo command to run for 'go build -compiler=gccgo'.
- GOARCH
- The architecture, or processor, for which to compile code.
- Examples are amd64, 386, arm, ppc64.
- GOBIN
- The directory where 'go install' will install a command.
- GOOS
- The operating system for which to compile code.
- Examples are linux, darwin, windows, netbsd.
- GOPATH
- For more details see: 'go help gopath'.
- GORACE
- Options for the race detector.
- See <a href="https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html">https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html</a>.
- GOROOT
- The root of the go tree.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Environment variables for use with cgo:
- </p>
- <pre>CC
- The command to use to compile C code.
- CGO_ENABLED
- Whether the cgo command is supported. Either 0 or 1.
- CGO_CFLAGS
- Flags that cgo will pass to the compiler when compiling
- C code.
- CGO_CPPFLAGS
- Flags that cgo will pass to the compiler when compiling
- C or C++ code.
- CGO_CXXFLAGS
- Flags that cgo will pass to the compiler when compiling
- C++ code.
- CGO_FFLAGS
- Flags that cgo will pass to the compiler when compiling
- Fortran code.
- CGO_LDFLAGS
- Flags that cgo will pass to the compiler when linking.
- CXX
- The command to use to compile C++ code.
- PKG_CONFIG
- Path to pkg-config tool.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Architecture-specific environment variables:
- </p>
- <pre>GOARM
- For GOARCH=arm, the ARM architecture for which to compile.
- Valid values are 5, 6, 7.
- GO386
- For GOARCH=386, the floating point instruction set.
- Valid values are 387, sse2.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Special-purpose environment variables:
- </p>
- <pre>GOROOT_FINAL
- The root of the installed Go tree, when it is
- installed in a location other than where it is built.
- File names in stack traces are rewritten from GOROOT to
- GOROOT_FINAL.
- GO_EXTLINK_ENABLED
- Whether the linker should use external linking mode
- when using -linkmode=auto with code that uses cgo.
- Set to 0 to disable external linking mode, 1 to enable it.
- GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL
- Defined by Git. A colon-separated list of schemes that are allowed to be used
- with git fetch/clone. If set, any scheme not explicitly mentioned will be
- considered insecure by 'go get'.
- </pre>
- <h3 id="hdr-Import_path_syntax">Import path syntax</h3>
- <p>
- An import path (see 'go help packages') denotes a package stored in the local
- file system. In general, an import path denotes either a standard package (such
- as "unicode/utf8") or a package found in one of the work spaces (For more
- details see: 'go help gopath').
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Relative_import_paths">Relative import paths</h3>
- <p>
- An import path beginning with ./ or ../ is called a relative path.
- The toolchain supports relative import paths as a shortcut in two ways.
- </p>
- <p>
- First, a relative path can be used as a shorthand on the command line.
- If you are working in the directory containing the code imported as
- "unicode" and want to run the tests for "unicode/utf8", you can type
- "go test ./utf8" instead of needing to specify the full path.
- Similarly, in the reverse situation, "go test .." will test "unicode" from
- the "unicode/utf8" directory. Relative patterns are also allowed, like
- "go test ./..." to test all subdirectories. See 'go help packages' for details
- on the pattern syntax.
- </p>
- <p>
- Second, if you are compiling a Go program not in a work space,
- you can use a relative path in an import statement in that program
- to refer to nearby code also not in a work space.
- This makes it easy to experiment with small multipackage programs
- outside of the usual work spaces, but such programs cannot be
- installed with "go install" (there is no work space in which to install them),
- so they are rebuilt from scratch each time they are built.
- To avoid ambiguity, Go programs cannot use relative import paths
- within a work space.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Remote_import_paths">Remote import paths</h3>
- <p>
- Certain import paths also
- describe how to obtain the source code for the package using
- a revision control system.
- </p>
- <p>
- A few common code hosting sites have special syntax:
- </p>
- <pre>Bitbucket (Git, Mercurial)
- import "bitbucket.org/user/project"
- import "bitbucket.org/user/project/sub/directory"
- GitHub (Git)
- import "github.com/user/project"
- import "github.com/user/project/sub/directory"
- Launchpad (Bazaar)
- import "launchpad.net/project"
- import "launchpad.net/project/series"
- import "launchpad.net/project/series/sub/directory"
- import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch"
- import "launchpad.net/~user/project/branch/sub/directory"
- IBM DevOps Services (Git)
- import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project"
- import "hub.jazz.net/git/user/project/sub/directory"
- </pre>
- <p>
- For code hosted on other servers, import paths may either be qualified
- with the version control type, or the go tool can dynamically fetch
- the import path over https/http and discover where the code resides
- from a <meta> tag in the HTML.
- </p>
- <p>
- To declare the code location, an import path of the form
- </p>
- <pre>repository.vcs/path
- </pre>
- <p>
- specifies the given repository, with or without the .vcs suffix,
- using the named version control system, and then the path inside
- that repository. The supported version control systems are:
- </p>
- <pre>Bazaar .bzr
- Git .git
- Mercurial .hg
- Subversion .svn
- </pre>
- <p>
- For example,
- </p>
- <pre>import "example.org/user/foo.hg"
- </pre>
- <p>
- denotes the root directory of the Mercurial repository at
- example.org/user/foo or foo.hg, and
- </p>
- <pre>import "example.org/repo.git/foo/bar"
- </pre>
- <p>
- denotes the foo/bar directory of the Git repository at
- example.org/repo or repo.git.
- </p>
- <p>
- When a version control system supports multiple protocols,
- each is tried in turn when downloading. For example, a Git
- download tries https://, then git+ssh://.
- </p>
- <p>
- By default, downloads are restricted to known secure protocols
- (e.g. https, ssh). To override this setting for Git downloads, the
- GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL environment variable can be set (For more details see:
- 'go help environment').
- </p>
- <p>
- If the import path is not a known code hosting site and also lacks a
- version control qualifier, the go tool attempts to fetch the import
- over https/http and looks for a <meta> tag in the document's HTML
- <head>.
- </p>
- <p>
- The meta tag has the form:
- </p>
- <pre><meta name="go-import" content="import-prefix vcs repo-root">
- </pre>
- <p>
- The import-prefix is the import path corresponding to the repository
- root. It must be a prefix or an exact match of the package being
- fetched with "go get". If it's not an exact match, another http
- request is made at the prefix to verify the <meta> tags match.
- </p>
- <p>
- The meta tag should appear as early in the file as possible.
- In particular, it should appear before any raw JavaScript or CSS,
- to avoid confusing the go command's restricted parser.
- </p>
- <p>
- The vcs is one of "git", "hg", "svn", etc,
- </p>
- <p>
- The repo-root is the root of the version control system
- containing a scheme and not containing a .vcs qualifier.
- </p>
- <p>
- For example,
- </p>
- <pre>import "example.org/pkg/foo"
- </pre>
- <p>
- will result in the following requests:
- </p>
- <pre><a href="https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1">https://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1</a> (preferred)
- <a href="http://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1">http://example.org/pkg/foo?go-get=1</a> (fallback, only with -insecure)
- </pre>
- <p>
- If that page contains the meta tag
- </p>
- <pre><meta name="go-import" content="example.org git <a href="https://code.org/r/p/exproj">https://code.org/r/p/exproj</a>">
- </pre>
- <p>
- the go tool will verify that <a href="https://example.org/?go-get=1">https://example.org/?go-get=1</a> contains the
- same meta tag and then git clone <a href="https://code.org/r/p/exproj">https://code.org/r/p/exproj</a> into
- GOPATH/src/example.org.
- </p>
- <p>
- New downloaded packages are written to the first directory listed in the GOPATH
- environment variable (For more details see: 'go help gopath').
- </p>
- <p>
- The go command attempts to download the version of the
- package appropriate for the Go release being used.
- Run 'go help get' for more.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Import_path_checking">Import path checking</h3>
- <p>
- When the custom import path feature described above redirects to a
- known code hosting site, each of the resulting packages has two possible
- import paths, using the custom domain or the known hosting site.
- </p>
- <p>
- A package statement is said to have an "import comment" if it is immediately
- followed (before the next newline) by a comment of one of these two forms:
- </p>
- <pre>package math // import "path"
- package math /* import "path" */
- </pre>
- <p>
- The go command will refuse to install a package with an import comment
- unless it is being referred to by that import path. In this way, import comments
- let package authors make sure the custom import path is used and not a
- direct path to the underlying code hosting site.
- </p>
- <p>
- Import path checking is disabled for code found within vendor trees.
- This makes it possible to copy code into alternate locations in vendor trees
- without needing to update import comments.
- </p>
- <p>

- <h3 id="hdr-Description_of_package_lists">Description of package lists</h3>
- <p>
- Many commands apply to a set of packages:
- </p>
- <pre>go action [packages]
- </pre>
- <p>
- Usually, [packages] is a list of import paths.
- </p>
- <p>
- An import path that is a rooted path or that begins with
- a . or .. element is interpreted as a file system path and
- denotes the package in that directory.
- </p>
- <p>
- Otherwise, the import path P denotes the package found in
- the directory DIR/src/P for some DIR listed in the GOPATH
- environment variable (For more details see: 'go help gopath').
- </p>
- <p>
- If no import paths are given, the action applies to the
- package in the current directory.
- </p>
- <p>
- There are four reserved names for paths that should not be used
- for packages to be built with the go tool:
- </p>
- <p>
- - "main" denotes the top-level package in a stand-alone executable.
- </p>
- <p>
- - "all" expands to all package directories found in all the GOPATH
- trees. For example, 'go list all' lists all the packages on the local
- system.
- </p>
- <p>
- - "std" is like all but expands to just the packages in the standard
- Go library.
- </p>
- <p>
- - "cmd" expands to the Go repository's commands and their
- internal libraries.
- </p>
- <p>
- Import paths beginning with "cmd/" only match source code in
- the Go repository.
- </p>
- <p>
- An import path is a pattern if it includes one or more "..." wildcards,
- each of which can match any string, including the empty string and
- strings containing slashes. Such a pattern expands to all package
- directories found in the GOPATH trees with names matching the
- patterns. As a special case, x/... matches x as well as x's subdirectories.
- For example, net/... expands to net and packages in its subdirectories.
- </p>
- <p>
- An import path can also name a package to be downloaded from
- a remote repository. Run 'go help importpath' for details.
- </p>
- <p>
- Every package in a program must have a unique import path.
- By convention, this is arranged by starting each path with a
- unique prefix that belongs to you. For example, paths used
- internally at Google all begin with 'google', and paths
- denoting remote repositories begin with the path to the code,
- such as 'github.com/user/repo'.
- </p>
- <p>
- Packages in a program need not have unique package names,
- but there are two reserved package names with special meaning.
- The name main indicates a command, not a library.
- Commands are built into binaries and cannot be imported.
- The name documentation indicates documentation for
- a non-Go program in the directory. Files in package documentation
- are ignored by the go command.
- </p>
- <p>
- As a special case, if the package list is a list of .go files from a
- single directory, the command is applied to a single synthesized
- package made up of exactly those files, ignoring any build constraints
- in those files and ignoring any other files in the directory.
- </p>
- <p>
- Directory and file names that begin with "." or "_" are ignored
- by the go tool, as are directories named "testdata".
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Description_of_testing_flags">Description of testing flags</h3>
- <p>
- The 'go test' command takes both flags that apply to 'go test' itself
- and flags that apply to the resulting test binary.
- </p>
- <p>
- Several of the flags control profiling and write an execution profile
- suitable for "go tool pprof"; run "go tool pprof -h" for more
- information. The --alloc_space, --alloc_objects, and --show_bytes
- options of pprof control how the information is presented.
- </p>
- <p>
- The following flags are recognized by the 'go test' command and
- control the execution of any test:
- </p>
- <pre>-bench regexp
- Run (sub)benchmarks matching a regular expression.
- The given regular expression is split into smaller ones by
- top-level '/', where each must match the corresponding part of a
- benchmark's identifier.
- By default, no benchmarks run. To run all benchmarks,
- use '-bench .' or '-bench=.'.
- -benchtime t
- Run enough iterations of each benchmark to take t, specified
- as a time.Duration (for example, -benchtime 1h30s).
- The default is 1 second (1s).
- -count n
- Run each test and benchmark n times (default 1).
- If -cpu is set, run n times for each GOMAXPROCS value.
- Examples are always run once.
- -cover
- Enable coverage analysis.
- -covermode set,count,atomic
- Set the mode for coverage analysis for the package[s]
- being tested. The default is "set" unless -race is enabled,
- in which case it is "atomic".
- The values:
- set: bool: does this statement run?
- count: int: how many times does this statement run?
- atomic: int: count, but correct in multithreaded tests;
- significantly more expensive.
- Sets -cover.
- -coverpkg pkg1,pkg2,pkg3
- Apply coverage analysis in each test to the given list of packages.
- The default is for each test to analyze only the package being tested.
- Packages are specified as import paths.
- Sets -cover.
- -cpu 1,2,4
- Specify a list of GOMAXPROCS values for which the tests or
- benchmarks should be executed. The default is the current value
- of GOMAXPROCS.
- -parallel n
- Allow parallel execution of test functions that call t.Parallel.
- The value of this flag is the maximum number of tests to run
- simultaneously; by default, it is set to the value of GOMAXPROCS.
- Note that -parallel only applies within a single test binary.
- The 'go test' command may run tests for different packages
- in parallel as well, according to the setting of the -p flag
- (see 'go help build').
- -run regexp
- Run only those tests and examples matching the regular expression.
- For tests the regular expression is split into smaller ones by
- top-level '/', where each must match the corresponding part of a
- test's identifier.
- -short
- Tell long-running tests to shorten their run time.
- It is off by default but set during all.bash so that installing
- the Go tree can run a sanity check but not spend time running
- exhaustive tests.
- -timeout t
- If a test runs longer than t, panic.
- The default is 10 minutes (10m).
- -v
- Verbose output: log all tests as they are run. Also print all
- text from Log and Logf calls even if the test succeeds.
- </pre>
- <p>
- The following flags are also recognized by 'go test' and can be used to
- profile the tests during execution:
- </p>
- <pre>-benchmem
- Print memory allocation statistics for benchmarks.
- -blockprofile block.out
- Write a goroutine blocking profile to the specified file
- when all tests are complete.
- Writes test binary as -c would.
- -blockprofilerate n
- Control the detail provided in goroutine blocking profiles by
- calling runtime.SetBlockProfileRate with n.
- See 'go doc runtime.SetBlockProfileRate'.
- The profiler aims to sample, on average, one blocking event every
- n nanoseconds the program spends blocked. By default,
- if -test.blockprofile is set without this flag, all blocking events
- are recorded, equivalent to -test.blockprofilerate=1.
- -coverprofile cover.out
- Write a coverage profile to the file after all tests have passed.
- Sets -cover.
- -cpuprofile cpu.out
- Write a CPU profile to the specified file before exiting.
- Writes test binary as -c would.
- -memprofile mem.out
- Write a memory profile to the file after all tests have passed.
- Writes test binary as -c would.
- -memprofilerate n
- Enable more precise (and expensive) memory profiles by setting
- runtime.MemProfileRate. See 'go doc runtime.MemProfileRate'.
- To profile all memory allocations, use -test.memprofilerate=1
- and pass --alloc_space flag to the pprof tool.
- -mutexprofile mutex.out
- Write a mutex contention profile to the specified file
- when all tests are complete.
- Writes test binary as -c would.
- -mutexprofilefraction n
- Sample 1 in n stack traces of goroutines holding a
- contended mutex.
- -outputdir directory
- Place output files from profiling in the specified directory,
- by default the directory in which "go test" is running.
- -trace trace.out
- Write an execution trace to the specified file before exiting.
- </pre>
- <p>
- Each of these flags is also recognized with an optional 'test.' prefix,
- as in -test.v. When invoking the generated test binary (the result of
- 'go test -c') directly, however, the prefix is mandatory.
- </p>
- <p>
- The 'go test' command rewrites or removes recognized flags,
- as appropriate, both before and after the optional package list,
- before invoking the test binary.
- </p>
- <p>
- For instance, the command
- </p>
- <pre>go test -v -myflag testdata -cpuprofile=prof.out -x
- </pre>
- <p>
- will compile the test binary and then run it as
- </p>
- <pre>pkg.test -test.v -myflag testdata -test.cpuprofile=prof.out
- </pre>
- <p>
- (The -x flag is removed because it applies only to the go command's
- execution, not to the test itself.)
- </p>
- <p>
- The test flags that generate profiles (other than for coverage) also
- leave the test binary in pkg.test for use when analyzing the profiles.
- </p>
- <p>
- When 'go test' runs a test binary, it does so from within the
- corresponding package's source code directory. Depending on the test,
- it may be necessary to do the same when invoking a generated test
- binary directly.
- </p>
- <p>
- The command-line package list, if present, must appear before any
- flag not known to the go test command. Continuing the example above,
- the package list would have to appear before -myflag, but could appear
- on either side of -v.
- </p>
- <p>
- To keep an argument for a test binary from being interpreted as a
- known flag or a package name, use -args (see 'go help test') which
- passes the remainder of the command line through to the test binary
- uninterpreted and unaltered.
- </p>
- <p>
- For instance, the command
- </p>
- <pre>go test -v -args -x -v
- </pre>
- <p>
- will compile the test binary and then run it as
- </p>
- <pre>pkg.test -test.v -x -v
- </pre>
- <p>
- Similarly,
- </p>
- <pre>go test -args math
- </pre>
- <p>
- will compile the test binary and then run it as
- </p>
- <pre>pkg.test math
- </pre>
- <p>
- In the first example, the -x and the second -v are passed through to the
- test binary unchanged and with no effect on the go command itself.
- In the second example, the argument math is passed through to the test
- binary, instead of being interpreted as the package list.
- </p>
- <h3 id="hdr-Description_of_testing_functions">Description of testing functions</h3>
- <p>
- The 'go test' command expects to find test, benchmark, and example functions
- in the "*_test.go" files corresponding to the package under test.
- </p>
- <p>
- A test function is one named TestXXX (where XXX is any alphanumeric string
- not starting with a lower case letter) and should have the signature,
- </p>
- <pre>func TestXXX(t *testing.T) { ... }
- </pre>
- <p>
- A benchmark function is one named BenchmarkXXX and should have the signature,
- </p>
- <pre>func BenchmarkXXX(b *testing.B) { ... }
- </pre>
- <p>
- An example function is similar to a test function but, instead of using
- *testing.T to report success or failure, prints output to os.Stdout.
- If the last comment in the function starts with "Output:" then the output
- is compared exactly against the comment (see examples below). If the last
- comment begins with "Unordered output:" then the output is compared to the
- comment, however the order of the lines is ignored. An example with no such
- comment is compiled but not executed. An example with no text after
- "Output:" is compiled, executed, and expected to produce no output.
- </p>
- <p>
- Godoc displays the body of ExampleXXX to demonstrate the use
- of the function, constant, or variable XXX. An example of a method M with
- receiver type T or *T is named ExampleT_M. There may be multiple examples
- for a given function, constant, or variable, distinguished by a trailing _xxx,
- where xxx is a suffix not beginning with an upper case letter.
- </p>
- <p>
- Here is an example of an example:
- </p>
- <pre>func ExamplePrintln() {
- Println("The output of\nthis example.")
- // Output: The output of
- // this example.
- }
- </pre>
- <p>
- Here is another example where the ordering of the output is ignored:
- </p>
- <pre>func ExamplePerm() {
- for _, value := range Perm(4) {
- fmt.Println(value)
- }
- // Unordered output: 4
- // 2
- // 1
- // 3
- // 0
- }
- </pre>
- <p>
- The entire test file is presented as the example when it contains a single
- example function, at least one other function, type, variable, or constant
- declaration, and no test or benchmark functions.
- </p>
- <p>
- See the documentation of the testing package for more information.
