Framework & Tools
Ginkgo v2 - BDD Testing Framework
Why Ginkgo over standard Go testing:
- ✅ Hierarchical organization:
Describe,Context,Itfor clear test structure - ✅ Better readability: Tests read like specifications
- ✅ Rich lifecycle hooks:
BeforeEach,AfterEach,BeforeAll,AfterAll - ✅ Async testing:
Eventually,Consistentlyfor time-based assertions - ✅ Parallel execution: Built-in support for concurrent test runs
- ✅ Focused/Pending specs: Easy debugging with
FIt,FDescribe - ✅ Better reporting: Colored output, progress indicators
Reference: Ginkgo Documentation
Example:
var _ = Describe("Unix Socket Server", func() {
Context("when starting", func() {
It("should accept connections", func() {
// Test logic
})
})
})
Gomega - Matcher Library
Advantages over standard assertions:
- ✅ Expressive matchers:
Equal,BeNumerically,HaveOccurred, etc. - ✅ Better error messages: Clear failure descriptions
- ✅ Async assertions:
Eventuallyfor polling conditions - ✅ Custom matchers: Extensible for domain-specific assertions
Reference: Gomega Documentation
Example matchers:
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())
Expect(count).To(Equal(int64(5)))
Eventually(func() bool {
return srv.IsRunning()
}, 2*time.Second).Should(BeTrue())
gmeasure - Performance Measurement
Why gmeasure:
- ✅ Statistical analysis: Automatic calculation of median, mean, percentiles
- ✅ Integrated reporting: Results embedded in Ginkgo output
- ✅ Sampling control: Configurable sample size and duration
- ✅ Multiple metrics: Duration, memory, custom measurements
Reference: gmeasure Package
Example:
exp := NewExperiment("Server Performance")
exp.Sample(func(idx int) {
exp.MeasureDuration("startup", func() {
// Code to measure
})
}, SamplingConfig{N: 10})
stats := exp.GetStats("startup")
// Provides: Min, Max, Median, Mean, StdDev

Uncovered Code Analysis
High Coverage (>80%):
interface.go: 91.7% ✅ Server creation and initialization
listener.go: 84.1% ✅ Accept loop and connection handling
model.go: 86.7% ✅ Core server state management
error.go: 100% ✅ Error definitions
Medium Coverage (60-80%):
context.go: 61.5% ⚠️ I/O operations and context management
Uncovered Lines: 20.9% (target: <20%)
1. Context Interface Methods (0% coverage)
These are standard context.Context interface implementations that delegate to the underlying context. Low priority for testing as they're thin wrappers:
func (o *sCtx) Deadline() (time.Time, bool) // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Done() <-chan struct{} // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Err() error // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Value(key any) any // 0%
Reason: Thin wrappers around embedded context, tested indirectly through integration tests.
Impact: Low - defensive programming for standard interface compliance.
2. Connection State Methods (0% coverage)
Simple accessor methods:
func (o *sCtx) IsConnected() bool // 0%
func (o *sCtx) RemoteHost() string // 0%
func (o *sCtx) LocalHost() string // 0%
Reason: Simple getters, minimal logic to test.
Impact: Minimal - straightforward accessor methods.
3. Error Handling Edge Cases
Partial coverage on error paths:
- Write error combinations: 61.5%
- Close error handling: 70%
- Error callback invocation: 53.8%
Reason: Difficult to trigger specific error conditions in integration tests.
Impact: Low - error paths are defensive, core functionality is well-tested.

var _ = Describe("Component", func() {
var (
srv scksru.ServerUnix
ctx context.Context
cancel context.CancelFunc
)
BeforeEach(func() {
// Setup
ctx, cancel = context.WithCancel(globalCtx)
cfg := createDefaultConfig(getTestSocketPath())

})
AfterEach(func() {
// Cleanup
if srv != nil {

}
time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) // Allow cleanup
})
Context("when doing X", func() {
It("should behave Y", func() {
// Test logic with Expect assertions

})
})
Helper Functions
Common Helpers in helper_test.go:
// Get a free TCP port
port := getFreePort()
// Get test address with free port
addr := getTestAddr() // "localhost:XXXXX"
// Create default configuration
cfg := createDefaultConfig(addr)
// Create TLS configuration
cfg := createTLSConfig(addr)
// Connect to server
conn := connectToServer(addr)
// Send and receive data
response := sendAndReceive(conn, data)
// Wait for server state
waitForServer(srv, 2*time.Second)
waitForServerStopped(srv, 2*time.Second)
waitForConnections(srv, 5, 2*time.Second)
// Start server in background
startServerInBackground(ctx, srv)
Handler Functions:
echoHandler(c libsck.Context) // Echo server
counterHandler(cnt *atomic.Int32) // Count connections
slowHandler(delay time.Duration) // Delayed handler
closeHandler(c libsck.Context) // Immediately close
writeOnlyHandler(msg string) // Write-only
readOnlyHandler(c libsck.Context) // Read-only
Running New Tests
Focus on Specific Tests:
# Run only new tests by pattern
go test -run TestNewFeature -v
# Run specific Ginkgo spec
go test -ginkgo.focus="should handle new feature" -v
# Run tests in specific file (requires build tags or focus)
go test -run TestServerTCP/NewFeature -v
Fast Validation Workflow:
# 1. Run only the new test (fast)
go test -ginkgo.focus="new feature" -v
# 2. If passes, run full suite without race (medium)
go test -v
# 3. If passes, run with race detector (slow)
CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race -v
# 4. Check coverage impact
go test -cover -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -func=coverage.out | grep "new_feature"
Debugging New Tests:
# Verbose output with stack traces
go test -v -ginkgo.v -ginkgo.trace
# Focus and fail fast
go test -ginkgo.focus="new feature" -ginkgo.failFast -v
# With delve debugger
dlv test -- -ginkgo.focus="new feature"
Benchmark Template
Using gmeasure:
var _ = Describe("Benchmarks", Ordered, func() {
var experiment *gmeasure.Experiment
BeforeAll(func() {
experiment = gmeasure.NewExperiment("Operation Name")
AddReportEntry(experiment.Name, experiment)
})
It("should measure performance", func() {
experiment.Sample(func(idx int) {
experiment.MeasureDuration("operation", func() {
// Code to benchmark
})
}, gmeasure.SamplingConfig{
N: 100, // Sample size
Duration: 5 * time.Second, // Max duration
})
stats := experiment.GetStats("operation")
AddReportEntry("Stats", stats)
// Assert performance requirements
Expect(stats.DurationFor(gmeasure.StatMedian)).To(
BeNumerically("<", 10*time.Millisecond))
})
})
Best Practices:
- Warmup: Run operations before measuring to stabilize
- Realistic Load: Use production-like data sizes
- Clean State: Reset between samples if needed
- Statistical Significance: Use N >= 50 for reliable results
- Timeout: Always set reasonable duration limits
- Assertions: Be tolerant (use P50/P95, not min/max)
Best Practices
✅ DO
1. Use free ports:
// ✅ GOOD: Avoid port conflicts
addr := getTestAddr() // Gets a free port
2. Cleanup resources:
// ✅ GOOD: Always cleanup
defer srv.Close()
defer cancel()
time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) // Allow goroutines to finish
3. Use Eventually for async operations:
// ✅ GOOD: Wait for async state changes
Eventually(func() bool {
return srv.IsRunning()
}, 2*time.Second, 10*time.Millisecond).Should(BeTrue())
4. Test error paths:
// ✅ GOOD: Test both success and failure
It("should fail with invalid address", func() {
cfg := createDefaultConfig("")
srv, err := scksrt.New(nil, handler, cfg)
Expect(err).To(HaveOccurred())
Expect(srv).To(BeNil())
})
❌ DON'T
1. Don't hardcode ports:
// ❌ BAD: Port conflict in parallel tests
cfg := createDefaultConfig(":8080")
2. Don't forget cleanup:
// ❌ BAD: Resource leak
srv, _ := scksrt.New(nil, handler, cfg)
// Forgot to call srv.Close()
3. Don't use fixed delays for state:
// ❌ BAD: Flaky due to timing
time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())
// ✅ GOOD: Use Eventually
Eventually(srv.IsRunning, 2*time.Second).Should(BeTrue())
4. Don't test implementation details:
// ❌ BAD: Tests internal structure
Expect(srv.(*tcp.srv).run.Load()).To(BeTrue())
// ✅ GOOD: Test public API
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
1. Race Detector Errors
WARNING: DATA RACE
Solution:
- Run with
-raceflag:CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race - Fix any detected races (use atomic operations, mutexes, or channels)
- All tests must pass with race detector
2. Port Already in Use
bind: address already in use
Solution:
- Use
getTestAddr()to get free ports - Ensure proper cleanup in
AfterEach - Add
time.Sleep()after server close to allow OS to release port
3. Timeout in Eventually
Timed out after 2.000s
Solution:
- Increase timeout:
Eventually(..., 5*time.Second) - Check if server is actually starting
- Verify no errors in server startup
- Use
waitForServerAcceptingConnections()for network readiness
4. Flaky Tests
Symptoms: Tests pass sometimes, fail other times
Solutions:
- Remove fixed
time.Sleep(), useEventually() - Ensure unique ports per test (
getTestAddr()) - Proper resource cleanup
- Avoid testing timing-dependent behavior
5. Coverage Not Updating
# Ensure coverage file is generated
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
# Check file exists
ls -lh coverage.out
# View coverage
go tool cover -func=coverage.out
Performance Test Failures
Startup too slow (>1s):
- Check system load
- Verify no network issues
- Ensure ports are available quickly
Echo latency too high (>50ms):
- Use localhost (not external interfaces)
- Check for CPU throttling
- Verify no network congestion
