To run tests for the Docker/Go-Events project, follow the steps outlined below.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have Docker installed and running on your machine before attempting to run the tests.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Begin by cloning the Docker/Go-Events repository to your local environment. Use the following command to do so:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/go-events.git
cd go-events

Replace yourusername with the appropriate GitHub username or organization if needed.

Step 2: Build the Docker Image

Next, build the Docker image for the project. This step ensures that all dependencies are correctly configured. Use the command below:

docker build -t go-events .

This command will create a Docker image named go-events using the Dockerfile located in the project root.

Step 3: Run Tests Inside the Docker Container

Now, you can run the tests inside the Docker container. To do this, execute the following command:

docker run --rm go-events go test ./...

Here, the --rm flag is used to automatically remove the container once the tests are completed. The go test ./... command instructs Go to run tests in all packages.

Step 4: Review the Test Results

After executing the tests, you will see output in your terminal indicating which tests passed and which failed. If there are any test failures, they will be displayed along with error messages that can help in debugging the code.

Additional Options

You can also run tests with coverage reporting. Use the command below:

docker run --rm go-events go test -cover ./...

This command will provide coverage metrics for the tests that were executed, enabling you to analyze which portions of your codebase are covered by tests.

Conclusion

Following these steps will allow you to execute tests within the Docker/Go-Events project efficiently. The combination of Docker and Go’s testing framework provides a streamlined workflow for code validation.
