In go I often use
func MyFunc(s someInterface) error {
err := OtherFunc(s)
return fmt.Errorf("something wrong: %s", err)
}
So I lose the original error value, because I just take the error string and forge it into a new error. That is what I mean with dynamic errors.
Now consider a test for MyFunc()
:
func TestMyFunc(t *testing.T) {
s := mockSomeInterface()
testErr := MyFunc(s)
if testErr != interfaceSpecificErrorValue {
t.Errorf("fail")
}
}
What would I use for interfaceSpecificErrorValue
(which is specific to someInterface
in this example)? Or how could I make this testable?
I understand that I can solve this by defining all my possible errors beforehand and give them a constant value. What I am interested in is if there is another way to achieve this, because I like the hierarchical error messages that you can dynamically build up using fmt.Errorf("...: %s, err)
. There must be a good way to keep the error hierarchy without losing the original value.
(Comparing the output of the Error()
method is a possibility, but not a good one.)
