Running Ginkgo specs in GoLand

how-to-run-ginkgo-in-goland.md

1. Create a starter test

   package main
   
   import (
     . "github.com/onsi/ginkgo"
     . "github.com/onsi/gomega"
   )
   
   var _ = Describe("Tool", func() {
     It("should maintain logic", func() {
       Expect(true).To(Equal(false))
     })
   })

2. Generate the suite runner

   $ ginkgo bootstrap

   (which yields <package-name>_suite_test.go)

3. Create a "Go Test" Run Configuration for the suite

   1. Back in GoLand, open <package-name>_suite_test.go.
   2. In the gutter, click the green "play" button.

4. Configure the execution to recurse to pick-up all tests:

   1. Run > Edit Configurations...
   2. Under the Go Test node, select the node named <TestName> in <package-name>_suite_test.go
   3. Set Go tool arguments to -r
