Demonstration of undetected test failures with incorrect usage of gocheck.C

gc.go

package gc

import (
	"launchpad.net/gocheck"
)

func Failure(c *gocheck.C) func() {
	return func() {
		// fails immediately
		c.Fail()
	}
}

gc_test.go

package gc

import (
	"testing"

	"launchpad.net/gocheck"
)

func TestPackage(t *testing.T) {
	gocheck.TestingT(t)
}

type Suite struct {
	runner func()
}

var _ = gocheck.Suite(&Suite{})

func (s *Suite) SetUpTest(c *gocheck.C) {
	s.runner = Failure(c)
}

// This test will not fail
func (s *Suite) TestFailure(c *gocheck.C) {
	s.runner()
}

// This test will fail as expected
//func (s *Suite) TestFailuteImmediate(c *gocheck.C) {
