Transform testing infrastructure to public API, add Must/Maybe utilities

Summary

Major overhaul that transforms darvaza.org/core from an internal utility
library to a comprehensive testing ecosystem with public APIs, plus adds
Must/Maybe and MustOK/MaybeOK generic utilities for error and boolean handling.

Key Achievements:

  • +0.4% test coverage improvement (96.5% → 96.9%)
  • Public testing API with 15+ assertion functions for ecosystem-wide use
  • Must/Maybe utilities following common Go patterns for error handling
  • MustOK/MaybeOK utilities for boolean-based operations and map lookups
  • Comprehensive documentation with organization-wide testing guidelines
  • Self-testing capabilities using MockT to validate assertion functions

Changes Overview

🧪 Testing Infrastructure Transformation

Public API Creation:

  • Move testing utilities from private testutils_test.go to public
    testing.go (537 lines)
  • Create T interface for both *testing.T and MockT compatibility
  • Add testing_test.go (479 lines) for self-testing validation
  • Enable external packages to import and use testing utilities

Enhanced Assertion Functions:

  • 15 assertion functions: AssertEqual, AssertNotEqual, AssertError,
    AssertPanic, AssertTypeIs, etc.
  • Generic support: Type-safe operations with Go generics
  • Success logging: All assertions log successful cases for better debugging
  • Consistent patterns: Standardized prefix-based messaging across all
    functions

Advanced Testing Utilities:

  • S[T]() for concise slice creation: S(1, 2, 3) instead of []int{1, 2, 3}
  • RunConcurrentTest() for goroutine-based testing with proper synchronisation
  • RunBenchmark() with setup/execution phase separation
  • MockT implementation for testing assertion functions themselves

🔧 Must/Maybe Generic Utilities

New Error Handling Functions:

  • Must[T](value T, err error) T - panics with PanicError if err != nil,
    returns value if err == nil
  • Maybe[T](value T, err error) T - always returns value, ignoring any error

New Boolean-based Functions:

  • MustOK[T](value T, ok bool) T - panics with PanicError if ok == false,
    returns value if ok == true
  • MaybeOK[T](value T, ok bool) T - always returns value, ignoring ok status

Use Cases:

// Must/Maybe - error handling
config := Must(loadConfig("config.json"))
conn := Must(net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:8080"))
content := Maybe(os.ReadFile("optional.txt"))  // empty string if missing

// MustOK/MaybeOK - boolean operations
value := MustOK(myMap["key"])  // panic if key doesn't exist
result := MaybeOK(strconv.ParseInt(s, 10, 64))  // zero if parsing fails

📚 Documentation & Guidelines

New Documentation Files:

  • TESTING.md (1104 lines) - Organisation-wide testing patterns and standards
  • TESTING_core.md (525 lines) - Core-specific testing patterns and
    self-testing approaches
  • Updated AGENT.md and README.md with new testing infrastructure guidance

Testing Standards:

  • Consistent patterns across all darvaza.org projects
  • Table-driven tests with named types and test methods
  • Anonymous functions in t.Run limited to ≤3 lines
  • Field alignment optimization for test structs
  • Cognitive complexity ≤7, cyclomatic complexity ≤10

🔄 Comprehensive Test Refactoring

18 test files transformed:

  • Replace manual assertions with standardized Assert* functions
  • Convert anonymous struct test cases to named types with test() methods
  • Implement consistent error handling patterns
  • Add proper field alignment in test structs
  • Improve test readability and maintainability

Examples of improvements:

// Before: Manual assertion
if !reflect.DeepEqual(got, expected) {
    t.Errorf("Expected %v, got %v", expected, got)
}

// After: Standardised assertion
AssertSliceEqual(t, expected, got, "operation result")

⚙️ Configuration & Build

VS Code Integration:

  • Replace inline cSpell.words with symlink to centralized
    internal/build/cspell.json
  • Consistent spell checking across IDE and build system

Updated Dependencies:

  • Add technical terms to cspell dictionary for new utilities
  • Maintain zero external dependencies principle

Walkthrough

This update introduces a comprehensive, generic testing utility package (testing.go) with a corresponding test suite (testing_test.go). It refactors all test files to use a unified TestCase interface and generic test runner, replacing inline or ad-hoc test case handling. Extensive documentation is added and revised, including new sections in README.md, detailed testing guidelines (TESTING.md, TESTING_core.md), and updates to AGENT.md. New error-handling utilities (Must, Maybe, MustOK, MaybeOK) are implemented and tested. The legacy testutils_test.go is removed, and spell-check configuration is updated.

Poem

A rabbit hopped through fields of code,
With tests and docs in heavy load.
Assertion helpers, mocks anew,
Each test case dressed in interface too!
With Must and Maybe, errors tamed,
The garden’s neat, the carrots claimed.
🐇✨ Cheers to code that’s bright and true!

Test Complexity

The test file has grown significantly with many generic test case types and helper functions. The complexity may make it harder to maintain and understand. Consider if some test cases could be simplified or consolidated.

	name     string
}

func (tc zeroTestCase[T]) test(t *testing.T) {

Error Handling

The Must function creates a PanicWrap with hardcoded skip value of 1. This may not provide accurate stack traces in all calling contexts, especially when Must is called from wrapper functions.

func Must[T any](value T, err error) T {
	if err != nil {
		panic(NewPanicWrap(1, err, "core.Must"))
	}
	return value
}
Test Coverage

Several test assertion messages have been simplified to remove detailed context information. While this reduces verbosity, it may make debugging test failures more difficult when the same assertion appears multiple times in a test.

	AssertEqual(t, tc.expected, len(got), "Keys", tc.input)

	tc.verifyAllKeysPresent(t, got)
}

func (tc keysTestCase) verifyAllKeysPresent(t *testing.T, got []string) {
	t.Helper()
	for k := range tc.input {
		AssertTrue(t, SliceContains(got, k), "contains %v", k)
	}

Possible issue
Fix circular dependency in test

This test example creates a circular dependency by using AssertTrue,
AssertFalse, and AssertContains to test AssertEqual. The document later warns
against this pattern but shows it in the first example.

TESTING_core.md [15-32]

 func TestAssertEqual(t *testing.T) {
  mock := &MockT{}
 
  // Test successful assertion
  result := AssertEqual(mock, 42, 42, "equality")
- AssertTrue(t, result, "returns true")
- AssertTrue(t, mock.HasLogs(), "has logs")
+ if !result {
+  t.Error("AssertEqual should return true for equal values")
+ }
+ if !mock.HasLogs() {
+  t.Error("AssertEqual should log success")
+ }
 
  lastLog, ok := mock.LastLog()
- AssertTrue(t, ok, "has log")
- AssertContains(t, lastLog, "equality test: 42", "log content")
+ if !ok {
+  t.Error("AssertEqual should create log entry")
+ }
+ if !strings.Contains(lastLog, "equality test: 42") {
+  t.Errorf("Log should contain expected content, got: %s", lastLog)
+ }
 
  // Test failed assertion
  mock.Reset()
  result = AssertEqual(mock, 42, 24, "inequality")
- AssertFalse(t, result, "returns false")
- AssertTrue(t, mock.HasErrors(), "has errors")
+ if result {
+  t.Error("AssertEqual should return false for unequal values")
+ }
+ if !mock.HasErrors() {
+  t.Error("AssertEqual should log error for unequal values")

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a significant contradiction in the documentation, where an early example violates a rule explicitly stated later, and provides a corrected example that aligns with the best practices described in the document.

Medium
General
Add panic recovery for benchmarks

The function doesn't handle potential panics from the setup or fn functions,
which could crash benchmarks unexpectedly. Add panic recovery to provide better
error reporting and prevent benchmark crashes.

testing.go [398-405]

 func RunBenchmark(b *testing.B, setup func() any, fn func(any)) {
 	b.Helper()
+	defer func() {
+		if r := recover(); r != nil {
+			b.Fatalf("benchmark panic: %v", r)
+		}
+	}()
 	data := setup()
 	b.ResetTimer()
 	for range b.N {
 		fn(data)
 	}
 }
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: This is a good suggestion for improving robustness by adding panic recovery to the benchmark helper, which prevents a panicking benchmark from crashing the entire test suite.

Medium
Fix incorrect circular dependency example

The example shows AssertNil(t, IsNil(nil), ...) but IsNil returns a boolean, not
a value that can be nil. This example doesn't demonstrate the actual circular
dependency issue correctly.

TESTING_core.md [259-262]

-// ❌ DON'T: Test IsNil using AssertNil (AssertNil calls IsNil internally)
+// ❌ DON'T: Test IsNil using AssertTrue with IsNil (creates circular logic)
 func TestIsNil(t *testing.T) {
-    AssertNil(t, IsNil(nil), "IsNil with nil") // Circular dependency!
+    AssertTrue(t, IsNil(nil), "IsNil with nil") // Circular dependency!
 }
  • Apply / Chat
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

__

Why: The suggestion correctly points out that the example code is logically flawed and doesn't accurately demonstrate the intended circular dependency issue, and the proposed change makes the example correct and more illustrative.

Medium
Clarify Maybe function behavior
Suggestion Impact:The entire Must/Maybe Utilities section including the Maybe function documentation was removed from the README

code diff:

-### Must/Maybe Utilities
-
-Convenience functions for common error-handling patterns:
-
-* `Must[T](value T, err error) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
-  err is not nil. Follows the common Go pattern of Must* functions for cases
-  where errors should never occur.
-* `Maybe[T](value T, err error) T` - always returns the value, ignoring any
-  error. Useful when you want to proceed with a default or zero value regardless
-  of error status.
-
-```go
-// Must - panic on error (use in tests, config loading, etc.)
-config := Must(loadConfig("config.json"))  // panics if loadConfig fails
-conn := Must(net.Dial("tcp", "localhost:8080"))  // panics if dial fails
-
-// Maybe - ignore errors, proceed with values
-content := Maybe(os.ReadFile("optional.txt"))  // empty string if file missing
-count := Maybe(strconv.Atoi(userInput))  // zero if parsing fails

The documentation for Maybe[T] is misleading. If the function always returns the
value regardless of error, it should clarify what happens when the value is the
zero value due to an error versus a legitimate zero value from the operation.

README.md [297-302]

 * `Must[T](value T, err error) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
   err is not nil. Follows the common Go pattern of Must* functions for cases
   where errors should never occur.
-* `Maybe[T](value T, err error) T` - always returns the value, ignoring any
-  error. Useful when you want to proceed with a default or zero value regardless
-  of error status.
+* `Maybe[T](value T, err error) T` - returns the value if err is nil, otherwise
+  returns the zero value of type T. Useful when you want to proceed with a
+  fallback zero value when operations fail.

[Suggestion processed]

Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

__

Why: The suggestion correctly identifies that the documentation for the Maybe function is ambiguous and proposes a clearer description of its behavior, which improves the usability of the API.

.vscode/cspell.json (1)

1-2: Configuration file is invalid JSON – CSpell will not load it

Line 1 is a bare path string, and Line 2 starts key/value pairs without an opening {.
CSpell expects a valid JSON object. The simplest valid form to delegate to the internal config is:

-../internal/build/cspell.json
-  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell/main/cspell.schema.json",
+{
+  "extends": "../internal/build/cspell.json",
+  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/streetsidesoftware/cspell/main/cspell.schema.json",

…followed by the rest of the keys and a matching closing } at the end.

Until this is fixed, VS Code and CI spelling checks will silently ignore your settings.

waitgroup_test.go (2)

292-293: Use assertion helpers instead of t.Error().

For consistency with the refactored tests, use AssertError or AssertNil instead of direct error reporting.

-		t.Error("Done channel closed too early")
+		AssertNil(t, "done channel", "should not be closed early")

365-372: Replace t.Errorf() with assertion helpers throughout TestWaitGroupConcurrency.

Update the error assertions to use the new testing framework helpers.

-	if err != nil {
-		t.Errorf("Expected no error, got: %v", err)
-	}
+	AssertNoError(t, err, "concurrent workers")
 
 	expected := int64(numWorkers * numIterations)
-	if counter != expected {
-		t.Errorf("Expected counter %d, got %d", expected, counter)
-	}
+	AssertEqual(t, expected, counter, "counter value")
panicerror_test.go (2)

130-139: Refactor to use assertion helpers for consistency.

Replace t.Fatalf calls with the standardised assertion helpers.

 	if tc.expectUnwrap {
-		if unwrapped == nil {
-			t.Fatalf("expected unwrapped error, got nil")
-		}
-		if unwrapped.Error() != tc.expectedError {
-			t.Fatalf("expected unwrapped error '%s', got '%s'", tc.expectedError, unwrapped.Error())
-		}
-	} else if unwrapped != nil {
-		t.Fatalf("expected nil unwrapped, got %v", unwrapped)
+		AssertNotNil(t, unwrapped, "unwrapped error")
+		AssertEqual(t, tc.expectedError, unwrapped.Error(), "unwrapped error message")
+	} else {
+		AssertNil(t, unwrapped, "unwrapped")
 	}

174-184: Use assertion helpers instead of t.Fatalf.

Update to use the new testing framework's assertion functions.

 	// Test Error method
 	errorStr := pe.Error()
 	expectedError := fmt.Sprintf("panic: %s", tc.expected)
-	if errorStr != expectedError {
-		t.Fatalf("expected error '%s', got '%s'", expectedError, errorStr)
-	}
+	AssertEqual(t, expectedError, errorStr, "error string")
 
 	// Test that payload is an error
-	if _, ok := pe.Recovered().(error); !ok {
-		t.Fatalf("expected error payload, got %T", pe.Recovered())
-	}
+	_, ok := AssertTypeIs[error](t, pe.Recovered(), "payload type")
errgroup_test.go (1)

46-57: Use assertion helpers for consistency.

-		t.Errorf("Expected Parent %v, got %v", expectedParent, eg.Parent)
-	}
+	AssertEqual(t, expectedParent, eg.Parent, "Parent context")
 
-	if eg.ctx == nil {
-		t.Error("Expected ctx to be initialized")

+	AssertNotNil(t, eg.ctx, "context")
 
-	if eg.cancel == nil {
-		t.Error("Expected cancel function to be initialized")
-	}
+	AssertNotNil(t, eg.cancel, "cancel function")
🧹 Nitpick comments (12)
.vscode/settings.json (1)

1-1: Empty settings file can be deleted to reduce noise

With CSpell now configured via .vscode/cspell.json, an empty settings.json provides no value and will be created automatically by VS Code if ever needed. Consider removing the file altogether.

internal/build/cspell.json (1)

90-94: Maintain alphabetical ordering of custom words to minimise merge pain

The newly-added entries (Atoi, conn, Logf, mykey, strconv) are appended out of order. Keeping the list sorted eases future look-ups and reduces merge conflicts.

-    "waitgroup",
-    "Logf",
-    "mykey",
-    "strconv",
-    "Atoi",
-    "conn",
+    "Atoi",
+    "conn",
+    "Logf",
+    "mykey",
+    "strconv",
+    "waitgroup",
README.md (1)

210-217: Vary repetitive bullet wording to satisfy LanguageTool rule.

Three successive bullets begin with “returns …”. Re-phrase one or two of them (e.g. “Obtains…” / “Produces…”) or merge sentences to avoid the ENGLISH_WORD_REPEAT_BEGINNING_RULE violation.
This keeps the document clean and passes the mandatory LanguageTool gate.

errors_test.go (1)

67-70: Assertion prefixes exceed recommended length.

Prefixes like "IsErrorFn2 is" / "IsErrorFn2 known" are four words.
Guidelines in TESTING.md recommend 1-3 words. Consider shortening to "is" and "known" for cleaner logs.

maps_test.go (2)

781-814: Benchmarks bypass the new RunBenchmark helper.

For consistency with the freshly introduced benchmarking API, wrap the manual benchmark loops with core.RunBenchmark:

-func BenchmarkKeys(b *testing.B) {
-    m := make(map[string]int)
-    ...
-    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
-        _ = Keys(m)
-    }
-}
+func BenchmarkKeys(b *testing.B) {
+    m := prepareKeysMap()           // extract setup
+    _ = core.RunBenchmark(b, nil, func(_ any) {
+        _ = Keys(m)
+    })
+}

This keeps all benchmarks uniform and automatically enforces the setup/execution separation described in TESTING.md.


355-384: Long assertion prefixes.

Messages such as "list length after append" and "front value" exceed the 1-3-word guideline. Trim to simply "len" / "front" / "back" to keep logs concise.

TESTING_core.md (1)

1-33: Minor style: bullets should end with full stops.

A few list items (e.g. in Generic Function Testing and Context Key Testing) miss terminal periods, violating the documentation style guide. Please add trailing full stops.

TESTING.md (2)

439-444: Grammar nit – “prefer to use”.

LanguageTool flags “Prefer table-driven tests over …”.
Change to “Prefer to use table-driven tests …” for correct idiom.


96-101: Ensure all bullet items finish with a period.

A few bullets in the Prefix Guidelines list have no trailing full stop. Add them to comply with the docs style checklist.

waitgroup_test.go (1)

63-66: Consider increasing the sleep duration for more reliable async error handling.

The 1 millisecond delay might be insufficient on heavily loaded systems or in CI environments. Consider increasing it to at least 10-50ms for more reliable async error detection.

-		time.Sleep(1 * time.Millisecond)
+		time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
panicerror_test.go (1)

80-81: Use assertion helpers instead of t.Fatalf for consistency.

Replace t.Fatalf with AssertTypeIs for type assertion consistency.

-		t.Fatalf("expected error type for string payload, got %T", recovered)
+		_, ok := AssertTypeIs[error](t, recovered, "string payload type")
+		if !ok {
+			return
+		}
errgroup_test.go (1)

245-247: Use AssertPanic for panic testing.

The deferred recover pattern can be replaced with AssertPanic.

-	defer func() {
-		if r := recover(); r == nil {
-			t.Error("Expected panic for nil run function")
-		}
-	}()
-	eg.GoCatch(tc.runFunc, tc.catchFunc)
+	AssertPanic(t, func() { eg.GoCatch(tc.runFunc, tc.catchFunc) }, nil, "nil run function")

Extracting the test logic into a named helper function improves code organisation and follows Go testing best practices.

Also applies to: 326-346

stack_test.go (2)

73-73: LGTM! More precise linter directive.

Narrowing the cognitive complexity disable to just the next line is better practice than disabling for the entire function.


171-171: LGTM! Consistent message simplification.

The assertion messages are now more concise while maintaining clarity, consistent with the testing improvements across the codebase.

Also applies to: 212-212, 216-216, 301-301, 305-305, 356-356, 363-363, 439-439, 498-498, 505-505, 518-518

panic.go (1)

83-117: LGTM! Excellent error handling utilities.

The Must and Maybe functions provide clean, idiomatic Go patterns for error handling. The documentation with practical examples is particularly helpful. The use of NewPanicWrap with proper stack depth ensures useful panic messages.

context_test.go (4)

14-35: LGTM! Excellent adoption of standardised testing assertions.

The migration from manual assertions to AssertEqual, AssertTrue, and AssertFalse improves test readability and consistency. The assertion messages are concise and meaningful, following the established testing patterns.


54-95: LGTM! Consistent use of assertion helpers.

The replacement of manual boolean checks with AssertTrue and error comparisons with AssertEqual maintains test functionality while improving consistency with the project's testing standards.


149-197: LGTM! Consistent assertion pattern maintained.

The timeout cause tests follow the same pattern as the regular timeout tests, using appropriate assertion helpers while preserving the test logic for both error checking and cause validation.


226-227: LGTM! Appropriate use of AssertEqual for tuple return values.

Using AssertEqual for both the value and boolean result from the Get method is the correct approach, maintaining clear test assertions while following the established patterns.

lists_test.go (5)

120-143: LGTM! Appropriate boolean assertion usage.

The use of AssertEqual for general boolean comparisons and AssertFalse for specific false expectations improves test clarity while maintaining the original test logic.


166-185: LGTM! Consistent use of AssertEqual for copy verification.

The assertions properly verify list length, element values, and independence after copying operations. The combination of assertion helpers with manual error reporting for the independence test is appropriate.


227-244: LGTM! Correct boolean assertion usage for function tests.

The use of AssertTrue for successful matches and AssertFalse for edge cases (nil list, nil function) correctly reflects the expected behaviour of ListContainsFn.


262-308: LGTM! Comprehensive use of AssertEqual with helpful formatting.

The consistent use of AssertEqual for length verification and element comparison, combined with indexed formatting in assertion messages (value[%d]), provides excellent debugging information while maintaining test clarity.


323-402: LGTM! Well-structured helper function assertions.

The helper functions properly use assertion helpers while maintaining complex test logic for early return scenarios. The mix of AssertEqual and AssertFalse appropriately reflects the different types of checks being performed.

slices_test.go (10)

18-18: LGTM! Proper use of AssertSliceEqual with contextual information.

Using AssertSliceEqual for slice comparisons with the input included in the assertion message provides excellent debugging context while following the established testing patterns.


75-91: LGTM! Consistent slice assertion usage across multiple operations.

The systematic use of AssertSliceEqual for all unique-related operations (SliceUnique, SliceUniqueFn, SliceUniquify, SliceUniquifyFn) with clear, descriptive assertion messages maintains excellent test clarity.


122-147: LGTM! Consistent slice difference testing with helpful context.

Using AssertSliceEqual for both SliceMinus and SliceMinusFn operations with input parameters included in assertion messages provides excellent debugging information while maintaining consistency.


157-170: LGTM! Improved field naming and consistent assertions.

The field name change to wantOk follows Go naming conventions, and the use of AssertEqual with indexed formatting provides clear, consistent test assertions for random slice selection.


188-188: LGTM! Appropriate assertion for boolean result.

Using AssertEqual for the boolean result of SliceContains maintains consistency with the established testing patterns while preserving test functionality.


221-221: LGTM! Appropriate slice assertion for mapping operations.

Using AssertSliceEqual for SliceMap results follows the established pattern and provides clear test verification for transformation operations.


273-277: LGTM! Comprehensive verification of non-mutating operation.

Using AssertSliceEqual to verify both the reversed result and that the original slice remains unchanged demonstrates proper testing of non-mutating operations with clear, descriptive assertion messages.


307-307: LGTM! Consistent assertion for functional slice operations.

Using AssertSliceEqual for SliceReversedFn maintains consistency with other slice operation tests while clearly identifying the functional variant being tested.


343-384: LGTM! Comprehensive sorting test coverage with consistent assertions.

Using AssertSliceEqual for SliceSortFn testing, including edge cases like nil function handling, demonstrates thorough test coverage with consistent assertion patterns.


401-401: LGTM! Appropriate assertion for generic ordered sorting.

Using AssertSliceEqual for SliceSortOrdered maintains consistency while testing the generic ordered type sorting functionality across multiple data types.

as_test.go (2)

9-82: LGTM! Excellent refactoring for maintainability and readability.

The introduction of the testHello constant eliminates magic strings, and extracting type-specific test methods (testStringConversion, testIntConversion, testErrorConversion, testDefaultConversion) significantly improves code modularity and reduces duplication. This refactoring enhances maintainability while preserving test functionality.


225-567: LGTM! Consistent use of constant eliminates magic strings.

The systematic replacement of hardcoded "hello" with the testHello constant throughout all test cases improves maintainability and ensures consistency. This follows good testing practices by centralising test data.

AGENT.md (3)

7-13: LGTM! Excellent addition of cross-references.

The new "Related Documentation" section provides valuable navigation aids and context, helping users understand how this agent guidance relates to the broader documentation ecosystem. The clear linking structure follows documentation best practices.


172-184: LGTM! Updated guidance reflects new testing infrastructure.

The updates correctly emphasise that testing utilities are now public in testing.go for external use, and the references to comprehensive testing documentation (TESTING.md and TESTING_core.md) provide users with detailed guidance. This aligns perfectly with the transformation to a public testing API.


185-210: LGTM! Valuable practical guidance with clear examples.

The "Quick Development Reference" section provides an excellent practical example demonstrating proper usage of the new testing utilities (AssertError, AssertNoError, AssertEqual) within a table-driven test structure. This concrete guidance will help developers quickly adopting the new testing patterns.

README.md (1)

424-464: Wrap long Markdown lines and run markdownlint.

Several lines in the new Testing Utilities section exceed the 80-character limit enforced by internal/build/markdownlint.json. Re-flow the text or insert line breaks before pushing to avoid CI failures.

errors_test.go (1)

290-295: Possible nil-receiver panic – double-check TemporaryError methods.

tempErr is a typed *TemporaryError nil.
You call:

tempErr.IsTimeout()
tempErr.Timeout()

These will only be safe if both methods explicitly guard against a nil receiver.
Please verify the implementations; otherwise replace the calls with:

AssertFalse(t, IsNil(tempErr), "nil receiver") // or similar

to avoid a runtime panic on future refactors.

TESTING_core.md (1)

140-156: Potential 80-char line overflow.

Lines containing "AssertTrue(t, addr.IsValid(), \"address[%d] should be valid\", i)" and similar are >80 chars. Break them to keep markdownlint happy.

testing_test.go (1)

1-481: Excellent test coverage for the new testing framework!

The test file comprehensively covers all aspects of the testing utilities including MockT, assertion functions, concurrent testing, and benchmarking. The tests are well-structured with clear subtests and proper use of helper functions.

panicerror_test.go (1)

289-291: Replace t.Fatalf with AssertTypeIs.

Use the type assertion helper for consistency.

-	if !ok {
-		t.Fatalf("expected PanicError, got %T", r)
-	}
+	AssertTrue(t, ok, "PanicError type assertion")

zero_test.go (4)

10-88: Excellent use of generics for test case structures!

The generic test case design with specialised types for slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels, and functions provides excellent type safety and code reuse. Each test case type has a focused test method that uses appropriate assertions.


90-298: Well-structured TestZero with comprehensive coverage!

The test is excellently organised with subtests for each type, and each subtest properly covers both nil and non-nil pointer scenarios. The consistent pattern makes the tests easy to understand and maintain.


321-591: Comprehensive IsZero test coverage!

Excellent coverage including:

  • All primitive types (integers, floats, complex numbers, etc.)
  • Edge cases (nil vs empty slices/maps)
  • Complex and nested structs
  • Interface scenarios
  • Reflect.Value handling

The tests are well-organised and use assertion helpers consistently.


615-774: Thorough IsNil test implementation!

The tests are well-organised into logical groups (basic, pointers, slices, maps, channels, functions, interfaces) with comprehensive coverage including typed nil scenarios and reflect.Value handling. Excellent test structure and consistency.

panic_test.go (2)

52-68: Good refactoring into helper methods.

The decomposition of the test logic into checkNilResult, checkRecoveredValue, and checkErrorString improves readability and follows the single responsibility principle.


490-528: Excellent use of generics and type-safe testing.

The generic helpers testMustT and testMustSlice provide type-safe testing while the type switch in testMustWithValue ensures proper dispatch. This is a clean implementation that leverages Go's type system effectively.

🔇 Additional comments (20)
README.md (1)

293-479: Excellent documentation of new Must/Maybe utilities and testing infrastructure.

The new sections comprehensively document the Must/Maybe error handling utilities and the public testing API. The code examples are clear and demonstrate practical usage patterns. The integration with the existing documentation structure is well done.

TESTING_core.md (1)

1-424: Comprehensive and well-structured testing documentation.

This document provides excellent guidance for testing the core package itself. Key strengths include:

  • Clear examples of self-testing patterns using MockT
  • Comprehensive coverage of generic function testing
  • Proper handling of circular dependency issues
  • Zero dependency requirements clearly explained
  • Performance and edge case testing patterns included

The examples are practical and demonstrate the testing utilities effectively. The document serves as an excellent complement to the main testing guidelines.

TESTING.md (1)

1-529: Excellent comprehensive testing guidelines document.

This document establishes clear, consistent testing standards across all darvaza.org projects. Key strengths include:

  • Well-defined core testing principles with specific complexity limits
  • Clear guidance on assertion function usage with helpful prefix examples
  • Comprehensive test structure patterns with named types and test methods
  • Practical complexity management strategies
  • Clear forbidden/allowed patterns section

The document will significantly improve testing consistency and quality across the ecosystem.

Note: The static analysis hint about "prefer over to" on line 440 is a false positive - "prefer X over Y" is the correct and natural phrasing in this context.

panic_test.go (3)

52-113: Excellent refactoring of test method into focused helper functions.

The decomposition of the asRecoveredTestCase.test method into smaller, focused helper methods (checkNilResult, checkRecoveredValue, checkStringValue, checkErrorValue, checkErrorString) significantly improves maintainability and readability. Each helper has a single responsibility and proper use of t.Helper().


177-209: Good modularisation of error and panic checking logic.

The extraction of checkError and checkPanic helper methods from the main test method improves clarity and follows the complexity management guidelines. The consistent use of AssertError and AssertNoError aligns with the new testing standards.


446-662: Comprehensive test coverage for new Must/Maybe utilities.

The new test coverage for Must and Maybe functions is excellent:

  • Must testing: Properly tests both success and panic scenarios with comprehensive type coverage
  • Generic test helpers: The testMustT and testMustSlice helpers provide reusable testing patterns
  • Panic verification: Correctly verifies that Must panics contain the original error and stack traces
  • Maybe testing: Comprehensive coverage across different types with and without errors
  • Type safety: Good use of type switches to handle different value types

The test structure follows the established patterns from the testing guidelines with named test case types and proper field alignment.

zero_test.go (14)

10-88: Excellent use of generic test case structures following new testing patterns.

The generic test case types (zeroTestCase[T], zeroSliceTestCase, etc.) with their associated test methods are well-designed and follow the new testing guidelines. The factory function pattern allows for flexible test data creation whilst maintaining type safety.


90-102: Well-structured test organisation using subtests.

The main TestZero function properly organises different test categories using subtests, which improves test readability and allows for targeted test execution.


104-298: Proper implementation of table-driven tests with new assertion helpers.

All test functions correctly use the new AssertEqual and AssertNil helpers from the testing utilities. The consistent pattern of creating test cases and iterating through them with subtests aligns perfectly with the new testing guidelines.


306-311: Consistent use of testing helpers in test methods.

The isZeroTestCase.test method properly calls t.Helper() and uses the new AssertEqual helper, maintaining consistency with the established testing patterns.


321-368: Comprehensive coverage of basic types with proper test organisation.

The TestIsZero function includes extensive coverage of all Go basic types (int variants, uint variants, float variants, complex types, rune, byte, uintptr). The test cases are well-organised and use the factory function pattern consistently.


370-399: Thorough interface testing with edge cases.

The TestIsZeroInterface function covers important edge cases for interface types, including nil interfaces, interfaces containing nil pointers, and interfaces containing various value types. The distinction between empty slices and nil slices is correctly tested.


401-427: Comprehensive edge case coverage.

The TestIsZeroEdgeCases function covers important distinctions between nil and empty values for slices, maps, channels, and functions, as well as array testing. This demonstrates thorough understanding of Go's zero value semantics.


429-482: Practical edge case testing with real-world scenarios.

The TestZeroEdgeCases function tests the Zero function with practical scenarios, including initialisation and usage patterns. The tests demonstrate both the zero-value behaviour and subsequent usage, which is valuable for documentation purposes.


484-499: Proper testing of reflect.Value edge cases.

The TestIsZeroReflectValue function correctly tests the special handling of reflect.Value types, including invalid (zero) reflect values and valid reflect values containing different types of data.


501-537: Thorough testing of complex struct scenarios.

The complexStruct type and TestIsZeroComplexStruct function provide comprehensive testing of struct zero-value behaviour with various field types. The distinction between nil slices/maps (which contribute to zero-ness) and empty slices/maps (which don't) is correctly tested.


539-562: Comprehensive pointer testing scenarios.

The TestIsZeroPointers function covers various pointer scenarios including nil pointers, pointers to zero values, pointers to non-zero values, and pointers to nil pointers. This thorough coverage ensures the IsZero function handles pointer semantics correctly.


564-591: Proper nested struct testing.

The nested struct testing with outerStruct and innerStruct correctly validates that zero-value determination works properly with nested structures, including the distinction between nil pointers to structs and pointers to zero-value structs.


593-623: Well-organised IsNil test structure.

The TestIsNil function uses a clean subtest organisation that mirrors the structure used for TestZero, providing consistent test organisation throughout the file.


625-774: Comprehensive IsNil testing with proper categorisation.

The various testIsNil* functions provide thorough coverage of nil semantics across different Go types. The tests correctly distinguish between nil values and non-nil but empty values, and include important edge cases like typed nil interfaces and closed channels.

🔇 Additional comments (31)
panic_test.go (4)

52-113: Excellent refactoring of test methods!

The extraction of helper methods (checkNilResult, checkRecoveredValue, checkStringValue, checkErrorValue, checkErrorString) significantly improves code modularity and readability whilst maintaining low cognitive complexity.


177-209: Well-structured test helpers for Catcher.Do tests.

The extraction of checkError and checkPanic helper methods improves clarity and maintains consistency with the new assertion patterns.


446-592: Comprehensive test coverage for Must utility!

Excellent implementation of Must function tests:

  • Well-designed test helper testMust properly handles panic recovery
  • Generic test helpers (testMustT, testMustSlice) provide type-safe testing
  • Good coverage of success and panic scenarios
  • Proper field alignment in test structs

594-662: Thorough test coverage for Maybe utility!

The Maybe function tests properly verify that values are returned regardless of error state, with good coverage across different types.

testing.go (4)

18-83: Well-designed testing abstraction!

The T interface and MockT implementation provide an excellent foundation for the testing infrastructure:

  • Clean interface design with minimal surface area
  • Comprehensive MockT implementation with inspection capabilities
  • Proper compile-time verification

126-368: Comprehensive and well-designed assertion functions!

Excellent implementation of assertion helpers:

  • Consistent pattern across all assertions
  • Type-safe with generics
  • Success logging for debugging
  • Clear parameter naming and documentation

407-441: Clean message formatting implementation!

The internal message formatting helpers are well-structured with appropriate use of revive:disable for justified cases.


370-405: Excellent concurrent and benchmark testing utilities!

Well-implemented helpers:

  • Proper goroutine management with sync.WaitGroup
  • Clean error collection pattern
  • Correct benchmark timer management

Also applies to: 443-465

  • Consistent with the new testing infrastructure
zero_test.go (18)

10-20: Excellent implementation of generic test case pattern.

The zeroTestCase[T comparable] struct and its test method exemplify the new testing patterns introduced in this PR. The use of generics ensures type safety whilst the standardised structure promotes consistency across test files.


22-32: Well-designed reference type test case.

The zeroRefTestCase[T any] properly handles reference types that should return nil. The use of *new(T) in the format string is a clever way to get the type name for logging.


34-47: Constructor functions enhance readability.

The newZeroTestCase and newZeroRefTestCase constructor functions improve test case creation readability and ensure consistent field initialisation.


58-107: Comprehensive test case coverage using ST utility.

Excellent use of the S[T]() utility function for creating test slices, which aligns with the new testing infrastructure. The test cases cover a wide range of types including basic types, slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels, and functions.


108-120: Clean test organisation with subtests.

The TestZero function is well-structured using subtests for different type categories. The use of anonymous functions for some cases and named functions for others provides good balance between conciseness and readability.


129-153: Proper handling of struct test cases.

The testZeroStruct function correctly demonstrates testing with custom struct types. The inline struct definition and test case creation follow the established patterns.


161-166: Consistent assertion usage.

The isZeroTestCase.test method properly uses AssertEqual from the new testing utilities, maintaining consistency with the refactored testing approach.


176-223: Comprehensive basic type coverage.

The test cases for TestIsZero provide excellent coverage of all basic Go types including signed/unsigned integers, floating-point numbers, complex numbers, and special types like rune, byte, and uintptr.


225-254: Thorough interface testing.

The TestIsZeroInterface function properly tests various interface scenarios including nil interfaces, interfaces containing nil pointers, and interfaces containing different value types. The distinction between empty slices and nil slices is correctly handled.


257-282: Good edge case coverage.

The edge case tests properly distinguish between nil and empty collections (slices, maps), which is crucial for understanding Go's zero value semantics.


284-337: Practical usage examples in tests.

The TestZeroEdgeCases function provides practical examples of how the Zero function works with different types, including realistic usage patterns like initialising slices, maps, pointers, channels, and functions.


339-354: Proper reflect.Value handling.

The test correctly handles both invalid and valid reflect.Value instances, ensuring the IsZero function works properly with reflection scenarios.


356-392: Complex struct testing demonstrates real-world scenarios.

The complexStruct type and its associated tests provide excellent coverage of how IsZero handles structs with various field types including maps, pointers, channels, functions, strings, slices, and basic types.


394-417: Thorough pointer semantics testing.

The pointer tests correctly verify the behaviour of IsZero with various pointer scenarios, including nil pointers, pointers to zero values, and nested pointer relationships.


419-446: Nested struct testing ensures proper recursion.

The nested struct tests verify that IsZero correctly handles recursive checking of struct fields, which is important for complex data structures.


470-596: Comprehensive IsNil test suite.

The TestIsNil function is well-organised into subtests covering all nilable types in Go. The separation into different test functions (testIsNilBasic, testIsNilPointers, etc.) provides good modularity whilst maintaining comprehensive coverage.


598-621: Proper reflect.Value nil testing.

The TestIsNilReflectValue function correctly tests IsNil behaviour with reflect.Value instances, including invalid values, nil pointers, non-nil pointers, and basic types.


623-643: Advanced nil semantics testing.

The TestIsNilTypedInterface function tests sophisticated nil scenarios including typed nil in interfaces, collections containing nil elements, and closed channels. This demonstrates a deep understanding of Go's nil semantics.

213-216: Consider varying sentence beginnings for better readability.

The static analysis tool correctly identifies that three consecutive sentences begin with "returns". Consider rephrasing to improve flow:

-* `SortedKeys[K,T]()` returns a sorted slice of the keys.
-* `SortedValues[K,T]()` returns values sorted by key.
-* `SortedValuesCond[K,T]()` returns filtered values sorted by key.
+* `SortedKeys[K,T]()` returns a sorted slice of the keys.
+* `SortedValues[K,T]()` provides values sorted by key.
+* `SortedValuesCond[K,T]()` yields filtered values sorted by key.

487-487: Fix grammar issue with "prefer" usage.

The static analysis tool correctly identifies a grammar issue. "Prefer" should be followed by "to" when comparing options.

-- Prefer table-driven tests over individual test functions.

This document provides exceptional guidance for testing the core package utilities. The content is well-structured with:

  • Clear explanation of assertion function hierarchy and dependencies
  • Practical examples showing both correct and incorrect testing patterns
  • Comprehensive coverage of core-specific testing scenarios
  • Detailed guidelines for avoiding circular dependencies
  • Excellent code examples demonstrating proper usage

The documentation effectively bridges the gap between general testing guidelines and specific requirements for testing the core utilities themselves. The hierarchy diagrams and anti-pattern examples are particularly valuable for maintainers.

TESTING.md (1)

1-577: Outstanding comprehensive testing guidelines.

This document establishes excellent testing standards for all darvaza.org projects. The content is thorough and well-organised, covering:

  • Clear core testing principles
  • Comprehensive utility function documentation
  • Detailed test structure patterns with practical examples
  • Complexity management strategies
  • Best practices and forbidden patterns

The guidelines will ensure consistency and maintainability across the entire ecosystem.

testing_test.go (3)

1-481: Comprehensive and well-structured test suite.

This test file excellently validates the testing utilities with:

  • Complete coverage: Tests all assertion functions with both success and failure cases
  • Proper MockT testing: Validates error/log recording, helper method invocation, and reset functionality
  • Thread-safe concurrency testing: Uses sync/atomic for safe counter access, addressing race conditions
  • Generic type testing: Validates the S helper with different types (int, string, empty slices)
  • Realistic scenarios: Tests practical usage patterns like error chaining and type assertions

The test structure follows the established patterns from the documentation, using appropriate helper functions and clear assertions. The atomic operations for concurrent testing ensure reliable execution under race detection.


317-325: Excellent use of atomic operations for thread safety.

The use of atomic.AddInt64 and atomic.LoadInt64 properly addresses the race condition that was mentioned in the PR objectives. This ensures reliable test execution under race detection while testing concurrent functionality.


352-364: Well-designed TestCase interface validation.

The mock test case implementation effectively validates that the RunTestCases function properly executes all test cases. The design using a called flag to track execution is simple and effective for verifying the test runner's behaviour.

panic_test.go (2)

446-662: Excellent implementation of Must/Maybe tests!

The new test implementations are well-structured with:

  • Good use of generics to reduce code duplication
  • Comprehensive type coverage
  • Proper use of the new assertion helpers
  • Clear test case organisation

70-75: Use AssertNil for consistency with new testing patterns.

Replace the manual nil check with the standardised assertion helper.

 func (asRecoveredTestCase) checkNilResult(t *testing.T, result Recovered) {
 	t.Helper()
-	if result != nil {
-		t.Fatalf("expected nil, got %v", result)
-	}
+	AssertNil(t, result, "result")
 }

Update: Fixed Circular Dependencies and Enhanced Documentation

Changes since last push:

🔧 Fixed Circular Testing Dependencies

  • Resolved PR review bot issue: Fixed circular reference where AssertTrue/AssertFalse were being tested using themselves
  • Updated testing_test.go: Replaced self-referential AssertTrue/AssertFalse calls with AssertEqual to break circular dependencies
  • Proper testing patterns: Now testing boolean assertions using their base function (AssertEqual) rather than themselves

📚 Enhanced Documentation Structure

  • Added comprehensive hierarchy documentation to TESTING_core.md (+101 lines):

    • Complete assertion function dependency tree showing base vs derived functions
    • Safe testing patterns vs circular anti-patterns with examples
    • Architecture rationale explaining why the hierarchy exists
    • Testing guidelines for maintainable assertion function tests
  • Improved cross-referencing in TESTING.md (+49 lines):

    • Added assertion hierarchy guidelines with reference to core-specific details

  • Better maintainability: Clear separation between general darvaza.org patterns and core-specific self-testing approaches

Files changed:

  • TESTING_core.md: +101 lines (comprehensive hierarchy documentation)
  • TESTING.md: +49 lines (cross-references and streamlined content)
  • testing_test.go: Formatting fixes (circular dependency resolution)

Total: +150 lines of documentation improvements and circular dependency fixes.

This update addresses the original PR review bot concern while establishing robust documentation standards for the entire darvaza.org ecosystem.

…mprehensive utilities

Transform private testing helpers into a comprehensive public testing
infrastructure that provides type-safe assertion utilities, mock testing
capabilities, and standardised testing patterns for the entire darvaza.org
ecosystem.

**New Public Testing API (testing.go - 517 lines):**
- **T interface**: Abstracts testing functionality for both *testing.T and MockT
- **MockT implementation**: Thread-safe mock with error/log collection, helper
  tracking, state inspection, and reset capabilities
- **14 assertion functions**: AssertEqual, AssertError/AssertNoError, AssertPanic,
  AssertTrue/AssertFalse, AssertNil, AssertTypeIs, AssertErrorIs, etc.
- **Utility functions**: S[T]() slice creation, RunConcurrentTest, RunBenchmark,
  RunTestCases for table-driven tests
- **Generic support**: Type-safe assertions using Go generics
- **Success logging**: All assertions log successful results for debugging

**Self-Testing Infrastructure (testing_test.go - 596 lines):**
- Tests the testing utilities themselves using MockT to avoid circular dependencies
- Validates MockT functionality, assertion behaviour, and error handling patterns
- Ensures the public testing API works correctly with comprehensive coverage

**Test Migration and API Standardisation (8 files):**
- Migrate from AssertBool(t, actual, expected) to AssertTrue/AssertFalse/AssertEqual
- Replace AssertError(t, err, bool, msg) with AssertError/AssertNoError pattern
- Standardise parameter order to (t, expected, actual, message) across all functions
- Updated: context_test.go, errors_test.go, lists_test.go, panic_test.go,
  slices_test.go, spinlock_test.go, zero_test.go

**Documentation Expansion:**
- **AGENT.md**: Add 100+ lines documenting testing patterns, assertion functions,
  MockT usage examples, and API migration guides
- **README.md**: Add 50+ lines documenting public testing utilities with quick
  reference and feature overview
- **cspell.json**: Add "Logf" for MockT.Logf method

**Code Quality Improvements:**
- Consistent error message prefixes with descriptive formatting
- Better string formatting using %q for clarity
- Thread-safe implementations with proper synchronisation
- Extensive self-validation and testing of testing utilities

**Architectural Impact:**
- **Remove testutils_test.go**: Migrate all private utilities to public API
- **External reusability**: Other darvaza.org packages can import testing utilities
- **Ecosystem consistency**: Unified testing patterns across all projects
- **Enhanced debugging**: Success logging provides better test diagnostics
- **Quality enforcement**: Standardised patterns with strict linting compliance

This transformation elevates testing from ad-hoc internal tooling to a first-class,
well-engineered public API with self-validation capabilities that serves the entire
darvaza.org ecosystem.

293-327: Fix British English spelling for consistency

The documentation is excellent, but please update 'ok' to 'OK' on lines 304 and 306 to maintain British English consistency throughout the documentation.

-  err is not nil. Follows the common Go pattern of Must* functions for cases
+  err is not nil. Follows the common Go pattern of Must* functions for cases
-* `MustOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
-  ok is false. Useful for operations that should always succeed, such as map
+* `MustOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
+  OK is false. Useful for operations that should always succeed, such as map
-* `MaybeOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - always returns the value, ignoring the ok
-  flag. Useful when you want to proceed with a default or zero value regardless
+* `MaybeOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - always returns the value, ignoring the OK
+  flag. Useful when you want to proceed with a default or zero value regardless

479-482: Maintain British English consistency

Please update 'ok' to 'OK' on line 482 for consistency with British English standards.

-  `errors.Is`.
 * `AssertTypeIs[T](t, value, msg...)` - type assertion with casting, returns

184-189: Use assertion helper for consistency.

Replace direct t.Error call with AssertTrue to maintain consistency with the rest of the test file.

 func (tc errGroupGoTestCase) checkCancellation(t *testing.T, eg *ErrGroup) {
 	t.Helper()
-	if tc.expectCancel && !eg.IsCancelled() {

🔇 Additional comments (63)
testing.go (7)

12-28: Good abstraction with compile-time verification

The T interface provides excellent abstraction for testing functionality, and the compile-time verification ensures both *testing.T and MockT implement it correctly.


30-135: Well-designed thread-safe mock implementation

The MockT implementation is excellent with proper thread safety, comprehensive state tracking, and useful inspection methods. The lock usage is correct throughout.


137-154: Useful slice creation helper

The S function provides a clean, generic way to create slices with proper handling of empty slices. The documentation with examples is particularly helpful.


156-176: Excellent standardisation of table-driven tests

The TestCase interface and RunTestCases function provide a clean, type-safe way to implement table-driven tests whilst eliminating boilerplate code.


178-440: Comprehensive and well-designed assertion library

The assertion functions provide excellent coverage with consistent design patterns:

  • Proper use of t.Helper() for accurate error locations
  • Boolean returns enable flexible usage patterns
  • Generic implementations ensure type safety
  • Consistent error/success logging enhances debugging

Particularly good handling of edge cases in AssertPanic and AssertNoPanic.


442-477: Solid concurrent testing and benchmarking utilities

Both utilities follow established patterns:

  • RunConcurrentTest properly manages goroutines and error collection
  • RunBenchmark correctly handles setup phase with timer reset

479-537: Well-structured helper functions

The internal helpers are properly organised:

  • Justified use of lint suppression for doMessage parameter count
  • Clean separation of concerns between formatting and output
  • Proper goroutine and channel management in concurrent helpers
panic.go (4)

83-99: Well-implemented Must utility

The Must function correctly implements the common Go pattern with proper panic handling and stack trace management. The documentation with examples clearly communicates appropriate use cases.


101-117: Simple and effective Maybe utility

Clean implementation of the error-ignoring pattern with clear documentation about when this approach is appropriate.


119-138: Correct MustOK implementation

The function properly handles the boolean flag pattern with appropriate panic behavior. Good use of lint suppression for the standard Go 'ok' pattern.


140-156: Clean MaybeOK implementation

Simple and effective implementation that mirrors the Maybe pattern for boolean flags.

spinlock_test.go (4)

10-30: Good adoption of standardised test patterns

The compile-time interface verification and factory functions follow the new testing patterns consistently, improving maintainability.


43-57: Clean implementation of TestCase interface

The refactored test methods properly implement the interface with cleaner assertions and standardised test execution.


86-132: Effective use of concurrent testing utilities

The refactoring properly leverages RunConcurrentTest and standardised assertions whilst maintaining the original test logic.


169-197: Simplified panic testing with new assertions

The use of AssertPanic and AssertNoPanic makes the tests more readable and maintainable.

lists_test.go (5)

8-35: Excellent modularisation with helper functions

The extraction of iteration test logic into helper functions significantly reduces duplication and improves maintainability.


131-176: Clean TestCase implementation with improved assertions

The refactoring to use factory functions and more specific assertions (AssertEqual, AssertFalse) makes the tests clearer and more maintainable.


257-292: Well-structured test decomposition

Breaking down tests into focused helper functions improves readability and makes debugging easier.


363-418: Excellent extraction of common test patterns

The helper functions for nil and early return cases eliminate duplication whilst maintaining clarity. The consistent structure makes the tests easy to understand and maintain.


8-487: Comprehensive test refactoring following new standards

This refactoring successfully transforms the list tests to follow the new testing patterns whilst improving modularity and reducing duplication. The consistent use of helpers, factory functions, and standardised assertions makes the test suite more maintainable.

README.md (2)

438-505: Excellent documentation of testing utilities

The testing utilities documentation is comprehensive, well-structured, and includes practical examples. The cross-references to TESTING.md and TESTING_core.md provide good navigation for users.


535-549: Helpful development section

The addition of the Development section with quick start commands provides excellent guidance for new contributors.

addrport_test.go (5)

9-11: Excellent compile-time interface verification!

Adding these compile-time assertions ensures that the test case structs properly implement the TestCase interface, catching any missing methods at compile time rather than runtime.


93-100: LGTM - Clean constructor pattern!

The factory function provides a consistent way to create test cases and improves readability compared to inline struct literals.


102-116: Perfect TestCase interface implementation!

The Name() and Test() methods correctly implement the TestCase interface whilst preserving the original test logic. The t.Helper() call is appropriately maintained for proper stack traces.


119-119: Great use of the generic test runner!

Replacing manual iteration with RunTestCases reduces boilerplate and ensures consistent test execution patterns across the codebase.


146-174: Consistent refactoring applied throughout!

The same high-quality pattern is applied to typeSpecificAddrPortTestCase, maintaining consistency across all test case types in the file.

TESTING_core.md (3)

10-108: Exceptional documentation of assertion hierarchy!

This section brilliantly explains the internal dependencies between assertion functions and provides clear guidance on avoiding circular testing patterns. The visual hierarchy diagram and practical examples make this highly valuable for maintainers.


112-178: Comprehensive MockT documentation!

The detailed explanation of MockT features with practical examples provides excellent guidance for testing assertion functions. The thread-safety notes and state management examples are particularly valuable.


179-568: Comprehensive testing guidance for core package!

The remaining sections provide excellent coverage of core-specific testing patterns including generics, error handling, synchronization primitives, and performance testing. The emphasis on zero dependencies and self-consistency aligns perfectly with the core package's role as a foundational library.

splithostport_test.go (4)

8-16: Thorough compile-time interface verification!

All test case types are properly verified to implement the TestCase interface, ensuring compile-time safety across the entire file.


26-44: Consistent TestCase implementation pattern!

The Name() and Test() method implementations maintain the original test logic whilst conforming to the TestCase interface. The pattern is applied consistently across all test case types.


76-76: Excellent adoption of generic test runner!

The consistent use of RunTestCases across all test functions eliminates boilerplate and ensures uniform test execution patterns throughout the file.


470-536: Complete and consistent refactoring throughout!

The standardization is applied uniformly across all test case types in the file, creating a cohesive and maintainable test suite that aligns with the project's testing framework.

compounderror_test.go (4)

9-16: Comprehensive interface verification!

All test case types are properly verified to implement the TestCase interface, ensuring robust compile-time checking across the entire test suite.


24-48: Well-designed constructor and helper functions!

The factory functions provide consistent test case creation, and the helper functions like newCompoundErrorErrorTestCaseEmpty reduce boilerplate for common patterns whilst maintaining clarity.


50-62: Proper TestCase interface implementation!

The Name() and Test() methods correctly implement the interface whilst maintaining the original test logic and appropriate t.Helper() calls for proper stack traces.


65-409: Successful modernisation of test suite!

The consistent application of the TestCase interface pattern with RunTestCases across all test functions creates a unified, maintainable test suite that aligns perfectly with the project's testing framework standards.

TESTING.md (1)

1-1105: Excellent comprehensive testing guidelines!

This document provides clear, well-structured testing standards for the darvaza.org ecosystem. The mandatory compliance requirements, detailed examples, and comprehensive coverage of testing patterns will ensure consistent, maintainable test code across all projects.

Particularly valuable aspects:

  • Clear distinction between mandatory requirements and recommendations
  • Extensive examples demonstrating both correct and incorrect patterns
  • Detailed factory function patterns with field alignment considerations
  • Comprehensive assertion function hierarchy guidelines
  • Practical CI/CD integration guidance
generics_test.go (1)

8-459: Well-executed refactoring following testing guidelines!

The refactoring successfully implements all mandatory TestCase compliance requirements:

  • ✅ Interface validations for all test case types
  • ✅ Factory functions for each test case type
  • ✅ All test cases use factory functions (no naked struct literals)
  • ✅ Consistent use of RunTestCases helper
  • ✅ Helper methods properly extracted (e.g., evaluateYesFunction, evaluateNoFunction)

The code maintains excellent readability while adhering to the new testing patterns.

as_test.go (1)

9-500: Excellent refactoring with improved maintainability!

The refactoring successfully implements all testing guidelines while adding valuable improvements:

  • ✅ All TestCase interface validations present
  • ✅ Factory functions for every test case type
  • ✅ Test logic properly decomposed into helper methods (e.g., testStringConversion, testIntConversion)
  • ✅ Consistent use of RunTestCases throughout

Additional improvements:

  • Good extraction of testHello constant for better maintainability
  • Clear helper method names that describe their purpose
  • Proper use of t.Helper() in all helper functions
addrs_test.go (1)

10-549: Excellent refactoring with smart use of convenience factories!

The refactoring successfully implements all mandatory requirements while demonstrating best practices:

  • ✅ Complete TestCase interface compliance
  • ✅ Smart use of convenience factory newParseAddrTestCaseStr alongside base factory
  • ✅ All anonymous test functions properly extracted to named helpers
  • ✅ Consistent use of assertion helpers throughout

Particularly good patterns:

  • The convenience factory pattern (Lines 52-63) that accepts string addresses and handles parsing internally
  • Clear extraction of test logic into focused helper functions
  • Proper use of t.Helper() in all helper methods
panicerror_test.go (1)

10-516: Outstanding refactoring with excellent decomposition!

This refactoring demonstrates exceptional adherence to testing guidelines:

  • ✅ Complete TestCase interface compliance for all 6 test case types
  • ✅ Comprehensive factory functions for every test case type
  • ✅ Excellent decomposition of complex validation logic into focused helper methods
  • ✅ Clear separation of concerns in test execution and validation

Particularly impressive:

  • The methodical breakdown of panic validation logic (Lines 267-301)
  • Clear helper method naming that describes validation purpose
  • Consistent error message validation patterns
  • Proper extraction of all inline test logic
errgroup_test.go (7)

10-15: Good use of compile-time interface verification.

The compile-time assertions ensure that all test case types properly implement the TestCase interface, catching any interface compliance issues at build time.


23-51: Well-structured test case constructor pattern.

The constructor functions and test case setup follow a consistent pattern that improves test maintainability and readability.


88-146: Excellent use of specialised constructor functions.

The pattern of having specific constructors for success, error, and cancellation scenarios improves code clarity and reduces the chance of test setup errors.


158-189: Clean separation of test concerns with helper methods.

The decomposition of test logic into focused helper methods improves readability and makes the test flow easier to follow.


173-182: Appropriate error handling for context cancellation.

The method correctly distinguishes between expected cancellations and actual errors, providing clear test output.


448-488: Well-structured concurrent testing helpers.

The separation of worker creation, execution, and validation makes the concurrent tests more maintainable and easier to understand.


291-343: Excellent organisation of cancellation tests into focused subtests.

Breaking down the test into specific scenarios improves test clarity and makes failures easier to diagnose.

zero_test.go (6)

10-17: Comprehensive compile-time interface verification.

All test case types are verified to implement the TestCase interface at compile time, ensuring consistency across the test suite.


18-63: Excellent use of generics for test case types.

The separation between comparable and reference types with generic test cases eliminates code duplication while maintaining type safety.


122-134: Well-organised test structure by type categories.

The organisation into type-specific subtests makes the test suite easier to navigate and debug.


790-834: Valuable practical examples demonstrating IsZero usage patterns.

These examples effectively demonstrate real-world lazy initialisation patterns, making the purpose and usage of IsZero clear to developers.


836-891: Thorough edge case testing for nil pointers.

The consistent pattern across all nil pointer test helpers ensures comprehensive coverage of edge cases.


471-554: Outstanding comparison tests clarifying IsNil vs IsZero semantics.

The comprehensive test cases with clear descriptions effectively document the semantic differences between nil (uninitialised) and zero (default value) states.

panic_test.go (7)

9-21: Complete compile-time verification coverage.

All test case types, including the new Must/Maybe utility tests, are verified to implement the TestCase interface.


53-92: Well-structured AsRecovered test with proper edge case handling.

The test correctly handles nil inputs and the special case of string to error conversion by NewPanicError.


391-477: Excellent generic test helper design for Must function.

The combination of panic recovery wrapper, generic type helpers, and type switch dispatch provides a robust and type-safe testing approach.


513-529: Thorough verification of Must panic behaviour.

The test properly verifies error wrapping, panic type, and stack trace existence, ensuring robust error handling.


406-413: Good attention to struct field alignment.

The consistent ordering of struct fields from large to small with explanatory comments demonstrates attention to memory efficiency.

Also applies to: 492-499, 611-619


597-806: Consistent and comprehensive MustOK/MaybeOK test implementation.

The test patterns mirror the Must/Maybe tests, providing consistent coverage and maintaining the same high-quality generic helper approach.


479-806: Exceptional test coverage for new utility functions.

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of Must/Maybe/MustOK/MaybeOK functions across various types and scenarios, ensuring robust behaviour.

304-306: Use British English "OK" instead of American "ok".

For consistency with British English conventions, replace lowercase "ok" with uppercase "OK".

-  ok is false. Useful for operations that should always succeed, such as map

Learning: In the darvaza.org/core module, the SpinLock type is being deprecated in favor of darvaza.org/x/sync/spinlock. The implementation must remain in place (not an alias) to avoid circular dependencies, as the new package likely imports from core.

🔇 Additional comments (34)
errors_test.go (2)

9-19: LGTM! Comprehensive compile-time interface checks.

Good practice to verify all test case types implement the TestCase interface at compile time.


50-68: LGTM! Excellent adoption of the new testing framework.

The refactoring successfully implements all required testing patterns:

  • TestCase interface implementation for all test types
  • Factory functions for test case instantiation
  • Consistent use of assertion helpers
  • Generic RunTestCases for test execution
testing_test.go (2)

350-358: LGTM! Proper race condition fix using atomic operations.

The use of atomic.AddInt64 and atomic.LoadInt64 correctly addresses the race condition for concurrent counter access. This ensures thread-safe operation under race detection.


594-633: LGTM! Comprehensive concurrent testing of MockT.

Excellent test design that exercises all MockT methods concurrently and verifies thread-safe operation. The deterministic operation counts based on worker ID modulo ensure predictable verification.

slices_test.go (2)

9-22: LGTM! Thorough compile-time interface verification.

All test case types are properly verified to implement the TestCase interface at compile time.


50-609: LGTM! Successful adoption of standardised testing patterns.

The refactoring comprehensively implements all required testing patterns:

  • All test types implement TestCase interface with proper factory functions
  • Consistent use of RunTestCases for test execution
  • Proper use of assertion helpers throughout (except one minor case)
  • Clean separation of concerns with helper functions
generics_test.go (5)

8-15: LGTM! Good use of compile-time interface validation.

These compile-time checks ensure all test case types properly implement the TestCase interface, preventing runtime errors.


23-43: LGTM! Clean TestCase interface implementation.

The methods correctly implement the TestCase interface, and the factory function follows a consistent pattern for test case creation.


45-60: LGTM! Comprehensive test coverage with clean syntax.

Good use of the S() helper function for slice creation and comprehensive edge case coverage including empty inputs, negative values, and boundary conditions.


89-119: LGTM! Proper handling of pointer comparison logic.

The implementation correctly preserves the special pointer comparison logic while adapting to the TestCase interface pattern.


400-427: LGTM! Clear verification of IIf evaluation semantics.

The extracted helper functions clearly demonstrate that both branches are evaluated before IIf selection, which is important for understanding the function's behaviour.

stack_test.go (7)

10-20: LGTM! Comprehensive interface compliance checks.

All test case types are validated to implement the TestCase interface at compile time.


90-177: LGTM! Excellent modularisation of stack trace validation.

The refactoring introduces clear data structures and helper functions that make the stack trace validation logic much more maintainable and understandable. Good separation of concerns between analysis and validation.


178-214: LGTM! Clean implementation of SplitName test cases.

Good use of Here() to test with actual runtime frames and proper helper function for assertion.


226-266: LGTM! Thorough testing including nil frame handling.

Good edge case coverage with explicit handling of nil frame scenario.


319-324: LGTM! Consistent use of assertion helpers.


410-415: LGTM! Clean assertions for line number tests.


467-475: LGTM! Proper Stringer interface testing.

Good validation that String() method matches the default formatting behaviour.

panic_test.go (8)

9-21: LGTM! Complete interface validation coverage.

All panic-related test case types are properly validated to implement TestCase.


28-92: LGTM! Simplified and clear recovered value testing.

Good use of IsNil for null checking and proper handling of string-to-error conversions that occur in NewPanicError.


391-428: LGTM! Well-designed test helper for Must function.

The testMust helper elegantly captures panics for testing, and the struct field ordering follows memory alignment best practices.


436-477: LGTM! Excellent generic test helper design.

Great use of generics to handle different types uniformly while maintaining type safety through the dispatcher pattern.


513-529: LGTM! Thorough panic validation.

Excellent verification of error wrapping, type correctness, and stack trace capture.


597-609: LGTM! Consistent helper pattern for MustOK.


721-737: LGTM! Comprehensive MustOK panic validation.

Good addition of error message content verification using AssertContains.


773-806: LGTM! Complete MaybeOK test coverage.

Properly verifies that MaybeOK returns the value regardless of the boolean flag state.

zero_test.go (8)

10-17: LGTM! Complete interface validation for zero tests.


18-63: LGTM! Excellent generic test case design.

Smart separation between value types (using comparable constraint) and reference types, with appropriate assertions for each.


65-140: LGTM! Comprehensive type coverage with clear organisation.

Excellent use of subtests to organize tests by type category, with complete coverage of Go's type system.


187-232: LGTM! Exhaustive primitive type coverage.

Excellent coverage of all Go primitive types including often-overlooked types like complex numbers and uintptr.


264-287: LGTM! Critical edge case coverage.

Important distinction between nil (zero) and empty (non-zero) for slices and maps is properly tested.


472-554: LGTM! Excellent clarification of nil vs zero semantics.

These comparison tests provide valuable documentation of the subtle but important differences between IsNil and IsZero, especially for slices and maps.


745-788: LGTM! Clear demonstration of initialization semantics.

Excellent tests that show the practical use of IsZero for determining when initialization is needed.


790-834: LGTM! Valuable practical examples.

These examples effectively demonstrate real-world lazy initialization patterns using IsZero, providing clear guidance for library users.

@coderabbitai Applied your feedback: replaced direct t.Errorf call with AssertEqual helper function in slices_test.go:365-367 to maintain consistency with the testing style used elsewhere in the file.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@amery Thank you for implementing that feedback! Replacing the direct t.Errorf call with the AssertEqual helper function is exactly the right approach. This change maintains consistency with the standardized testing patterns established throughout this PR and aligns perfectly with the testing infrastructure transformation goals.

The use of AssertEqual provides better consistency, clearer intent, and integrates well with the broader testing utilities you've developed. This kind of attention to consistency across the codebase will make the testing patterns much more maintainable for the entire darvaza.org ecosystem.

365-367: Use assertion helper for consistency.

Replace direct t.Errorf call with AssertEqual to maintain consistency with the testing patterns used throughout the file.

 	result := SliceMap(S[int](), intToString)
-	if len(result) != 0 {
-		t.Errorf("Expected empty slice, got %v", result)
-	}
+	AssertEqual(t, 0, len(result), "SliceMap empty slice length")

304-304: Use British English 'OK' instead of lowercase 'ok'.

In British English, the correct spelling is 'OK' rather than lowercase 'ok'.

-* `MustOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
-  ok is false. Useful for operations that should always succeed, such as map
+* `MustOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - returns value or panics with `PanicError` if
+  OK is false. Useful for operations that should always succeed, such as map
-* `MaybeOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - always returns the value, ignoring the ok
+* `MaybeOK[T](value T, ok bool) T` - always returns the value, ignoring the OK
-  (value, ok).
+  (value, OK).

zero_test.go (1)

65-70: Consider removing redundant wrapper function.

The testZeroT function only wraps RunTestCases without adding functionality. Consider calling RunTestCases directly in the tests.

-// testZeroT tests Zero function for reference types that should return nil
-func testZeroT[T any](t *testing.T, testCases ...zeroRefTestCase[T]) {
-	t.Helper()
-
-	RunTestCases(t, testCases)
-}

Then update the test calls:

-t.Run("slice", func(t *testing.T) { testZeroT(t, zeroSliceTestCases...) })
+t.Run("slice", func(t *testing.T) { RunTestCases(t, zeroSliceTestCases) })

🔇 Additional comments (19)
testing_test.go (1)

1-634: Well-structured and comprehensive test coverage!

The test file excellently covers all aspects of the new testing utilities:

  • Thorough MockT implementation testing with concurrent safety
  • Complete coverage of all assertion functions
  • Proper use of atomic operations in concurrent tests
  • Good test organisation with helper functions

The implementation follows all the testing patterns and best practices outlined in the PR.

addrs_test.go (1)

10-550: Excellent refactoring to align with new testing patterns!

The test file has been successfully refactored to:

  • Implement the TestCase interface for all test types
  • Use factory functions consistently for test case creation
  • Extract complex test logic into named helper functions
  • Maintain the same test coverage while improving organisation

This aligns perfectly with the testing guidelines established in this PR.

stack_test.go (1)

84-176: Excellent modularisation of complex test logic!

The refactoring of TestStackTrace into smaller, focused functions is a significant improvement:

  • Clear separation of concerns with stackTraceExpectation, stackAnalysis structs
  • Well-named helper functions that each handle a specific aspect of validation
  • Improved readability and maintainability
  • Adheres to cognitive complexity guidelines

This is a model example of how to refactor complex test functions.

zero_test.go (9)

10-17: Good use of compile-time interface verification.

The compile-time checks ensure all test case types properly implement the TestCase interface, preventing runtime errors.


18-32: Well-structured generic test case implementation.

The zeroTestCase[T comparable] type properly implements the TestCase interface with appropriate use of generics and helper methods.


72-120: Excellent consistency with testing patterns.

The test cases consistently use the S() helper function and constructor patterns, aligning with the established testing guidelines.


122-134: Good test organisation with subtests.

The test structure properly organises test cases by type using t.Run. The approach ensures clear test output and proper isolation.


162-177: Clean test case implementation for IsZero.

The isZeroTestCase properly implements the TestCase interface with clear field names and appropriate assertions.


187-232: Comprehensive type coverage for IsZero tests.

Excellent coverage of all Go numeric types including signed/unsigned integers, floating-point, complex numbers, and special types like rune and uintptr.


234-261: Thorough testing of interface edge cases.

Good coverage of interface scenarios, correctly distinguishing between nil interfaces, interfaces containing nil, and interfaces containing zero values. The comment clarifying that empty slices are not zero values is particularly helpful.


715-788: Excellent documentation of initialization semantics.

The initializationSemanticsTestCase tests provide valuable documentation of when IsZero returns true (indicating need for initialization) vs false (already initialized). This is particularly useful for understanding nil vs empty distinctions in Go.


790-834: Valuable practical examples of IsZero usage.

These tests effectively demonstrate real-world lazy initialization patterns using IsZero. They serve as both functional tests and practical documentation for users of the API.

panic_test.go (7)

9-21: Comprehensive compile-time interface verification.

All test case types are properly verified to implement the TestCase interface, ensuring type safety.


22-92: Well-refactored test case with improved edge case handling.

The refactored asRecoveredTestCase effectively uses IsNil via MustNil() method and properly handles the edge case where string panics are converted to errors by NewPanicError.


391-403: Elegant helper for testing panic scenarios.

The testMust helper effectively wraps Must calls with panic recovery, enabling comprehensive testing of both success and panic scenarios.


405-490: Well-structured success test cases for Must function.

The implementation provides good type coverage with dedicated generic helpers for comparable types and slices. The type switch pattern effectively handles different value types.


492-539: Thorough panic scenario testing with proper error verification.

The test properly verifies that Must panics with a PanicError containing the original error and a stack trace. Good use of errors.Is to verify error wrapping.


541-595: Clean implementation of Maybe function tests.

The tests effectively verify that Maybe always returns the input value regardless of error presence, which is the expected behaviour.


597-806: Consistent and comprehensive MustOK/MaybeOK test implementation.

The tests follow the established patterns from Must/Maybe tests, providing thorough coverage of success and panic scenarios. Good attention to verifying panic message content.

@amery Looking at the current content of README.md around line 479, I can confirm that the grammar issue has been fixed!

The line now reads:

* `AssertErrorIs(t, err, target, msg...)` - error chain checking with `errors.Is`.

This is a complete and grammatically correct sentence. The previous issue where the sentence seemed incomplete has been resolved. The description now clearly explains that AssertErrorIs performs error chain checking using the errors.Is function.

@amery Yes, I can confirm the grammar issue has been fixed!

Looking at the current content, the line now correctly reads:

* `AssertErrorIs(t, err, target, msg...)` - error chain checking with
  `errors.Is`.

This is a complete and grammatically correct sentence. The description clearly explains that AssertErrorIs performs error chain checking using the errors.Is function from Go's standard library. The previous concern about an incomplete sentence has been resolved.

Thank you for the correction!

Alejandro Mery added 5 commits August 4, 2025 15:09
Add organisation-wide testing documentation to establish consistent patterns
across all darvaza.org projects and provide detailed guidance for the new
public testing API.

- **TESTING.md** (628 lines): General testing guidelines for all darvaza.org
  projects with assertion hierarchy, MockT patterns, and reusability principles.
- **TESTING_core.md** (525 lines): Core-specific testing patterns focusing on
  self-testing approaches and zero-dependency testing methodologies.
- **AGENT.md**: Remove detailed testing documentation (120 lines) now covered
  by dedicated TESTING files, add references to new documentation.
- **README.md**: Add Testing Utilities section references pointing to new
  comprehensive testing documentation.

The documentation establishes:

- **Assertion hierarchy**: Clear dependency chain with AssertEqual as base,
  AssertTrue/AssertFalse as derived functions.
- **Testing patterns**: Table-driven tests, MockT usage, circular dependency
  avoidance, and self-testing methodologies.
- **Organisation standards**: Consistent testing approaches across all
  darvaza.org projects with external reusability principles.
- **Best practices**: Generic function testing, error handling patterns,
  concurrent testing guidelines, and benchmark management.

This documentation complements the public testing API by providing detailed
guidance on proper usage patterns and establishing testing standards for the
entire darvaza.org ecosystem.

Add `AssertNotEqual` as a base assertion function with standalone
implementation following the established pattern. This complements
`AssertEqual` by providing direct inequality testing with consistent error
messaging and logging behaviour.

- **`AssertNotEqual[T]`**: Generic function using `!=` comparison with
  `"expected not %v, got %v"` error format.
- **`TestAssertNotEqual`**: Comprehensive test coverage for both success
  and failure cases using `MockT`.
- **Documentation**: Updated assertion hierarchy in `TESTING_core.md`,
  basic assertions list in `TESTING.md`, and function count in `README.md`.

The function is positioned as a base function in the hierarchy rather
than derived from `AssertEqual`, ensuring independent implementation and
consistent behaviour across the testing utilities.

Convert all test files to use the public TestCase interface with
consistent patterns and improved maintainability.

**TestCase Interface Implementation:**
- Add TestCase interface validations for all test case types.
- Convert struct test cases to implement Name() and Test() methods.
- Replace manual test loops with RunTestCases() helper function.
- Add factory functions for all test case struct constructors.

**Assertion Function Migration:**
- Replace manual error checking with AssertError/AssertNoError.
- Replace manual nil checks with AssertNil/AssertNotNil.
- Replace manual boolean checks with AssertTrue/AssertFalse.
- Replace reflect.DeepEqual with AssertEqual/AssertSliceEqual.
- Replace manual type assertions with AssertTypeIs.
- Replace manual panic testing with AssertPanic/AssertNoPanic.
- Use SliceContains utility for slice membership testing.

**Test Data Modernisation:**
- Replace naked struct literals with factory function calls.
- Extract complex anonymous functions to named helper methods.
- Implement consistent test case constructor patterns.

**Code Quality Enhancements:**
- Add compile-time TestCase interface verification.
- Break down high-complexity functions into smaller helpers.
- Replace formatter usage with proper Frame methods in validation logic.

**Updated Documentation:**
- Add testing-related terms to cspell.json dictionary.
- Maintain consistent terminology across test files.

This refactoring establishes uniform TestCase patterns across 19 test
files whilst maintaining 96.9% test coverage and zero linting issues.

Add Must[T] and Maybe[T] generic functions following common Go patterns:

- Must[T](value T, err error) T - panics with PanicError if err \!= nil,
  returns value unchanged if err == nil. Useful for tests, config loading,
  and cases where errors should never occur.

- Maybe[T](value T, err error) T - always returns value, ignoring error.
  Useful when proceeding with defaults/zero values regardless of errors.

Both functions work with any type T and include comprehensive test coverage
using TESTING.md compliant patterns with named test types, constructor
functions, and generic test helpers.

Also updates README.md with documentation and examples, and adds required
words to cspell dictionary.

Add MustOK() and MaybeOK() functions following the same patterns as the
existing Must() and Maybe() utilities. These functions handle operations
that return (value, bool) pairs instead of (value, error) pairs.

* MustOK[V any](value V, ok bool) V - panics with PanicError if ok is false.
* MaybeOK[V any](value V, ok bool) V - returns value ignoring ok flag.
* Comprehensive test coverage with TestCase interface compliance.
* Updated documentation with usage examples using MapValue() and As().

These utilities are useful for operations like map access, type assertions,
and other Go idioms that return boolean success indicators.

Minor cleanup and consistency improvements applied to the branch:

Changes Made

  • Go version requirement: Updated AGENT.md from Go 1.22 to 1.23
  • Documentation fixes: Corrected "darvaza-proxy" to "darvaza.org" in
    README.md.
  • Testing guidelines: Refined TESTING.md factory function guidance for
    clarity.
  • Test cleanup: Simplified zero_test.go by removing redundant helper
    functions.
  • Error group tests: Improved assertion consistency in errgroup_test.go

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@amery Thank you for the updates! These cleanup and consistency improvements are excellent and align perfectly with the established standards:

Go 1.23 requirement update - Matches the minimum version requirement from the learnings
Documentation consistency - The "darvaza-proxy" → "darvaza.org" correction improves brand consistency
Testing guideline refinements - Clearer factory function guidance will help maintainability
Test simplification - Removing redundant helpers in zero_test.go reduces complexity
Assertion consistency - Improved errgroup_test.go follows the standardized testing patterns

These incremental improvements demonstrate excellent attention to detail and commitment to code quality. The changes reinforce the testing infrastructure transformation goals while maintaining the high standards established throughout this PR.

293-327: Line length violations and British English compliance issues.

This is a duplicate of previously identified issues. Several lines exceed the 80-character limit and use American English "ok" instead of British English "OK".


438-505: Line length violations and grammar issue.

This section has the same issues previously identified: multiple lines exceed the 80-character limit, and line 479 has an incomplete sentence that needs a subject before "Is".

slices_test.go (1)

359-366: Past review comment successfully addressed.

The code now uses AssertEqual assertion helper instead of direct t.Errorf call, maintaining consistency with the testing patterns used throughout the file.

🔇 Additional comments (38)
README.md (1)

535-551: Well-structured development section.

The development section is well-organised with clear quick start commands and appropriate references to the AGENT.md file. The content is concise and follows Markdown formatting standards.

TESTING_core.md (6)

10-108: Excellent technical documentation on assertion hierarchy.

This section provides clear, actionable guidance on testing assertion functions whilst avoiding circular dependencies. The hierarchy diagram and examples effectively demonstrate safe testing patterns.


109-302: Comprehensive testing patterns with excellent examples.

The section provides thorough coverage of core-specific testing scenarios with practical, well-documented examples. The MockT usage examples and generic function testing guidance are particularly valuable.


303-348: Solid examples of testing the testing utilities.

The custom assertion and benchmark utility examples properly demonstrate self-testing patterns whilst avoiding circular dependencies.


349-439: Clear dependency policy with well-explained exceptions.

The zero dependencies requirement is clearly articulated with appropriate exceptions for self-testing scenarios. The examples effectively demonstrate the principles whilst avoiding circular logic.


440-554: Comprehensive coverage of testing best practices.

The performance testing, documentation examples, and edge case handling demonstrate thorough consideration of testing requirements for a foundational library.


555-569: Effective summary of testing principles.

The seven-point summary effectively captures the essential testing requirements for the core package and reinforces the document's key messages.

testing_test.go (8)

1-12: Proper test file structure with good practices.

The compile-time verification of interface implementation is excellent practice, and the imports are appropriate for the testing functionality.


13-25: Well-organised test structure using subtests.

The use of subtests to organise MockT functionality testing is excellent practice and ensures comprehensive coverage of all MockT features.


27-287: Comprehensive assertion testing with potential circular dependency concern.

The tests provide excellent coverage of all assertion functions with both success and failure scenarios. However, some tests use assertion functions to test themselves (e.g., using AssertTrue to test other assertions), which could create circular dependencies as discussed in the TESTING_core.md documentation.

Consider using standard testing methods for the base assertion tests to avoid circular logic, particularly in functions like TestAssertEqual where AssertTrue is used to verify the result of AssertEqual.


347-369: Proper concurrent testing with atomic operations.

The use of atomic.AddInt64 and atomic.LoadInt64 ensures thread-safe counter operations, and the test correctly verifies both successful execution and error propagation in concurrent scenarios.


371-404: Effective demonstration of TestCase interface pattern.

The mockTestCase implementation and RunTestCases test properly demonstrate the table-driven testing pattern with clear verification that all test cases execute.


406-425: Correct benchmark testing pattern.

The test properly verifies the benchmark setup and execution phases, ensuring the setup runs once and the execution function runs exactly N times.


427-593: Comprehensive MockT functionality testing.

The detailed MockT tests thoroughly cover all functionality including state management, thread safety, formatted logging, and reset operations. The test helper functions are well-structured and follow good testing practices.


594-633: Excellent concurrent safety testing for MockT.

The concurrent test properly exercises MockT under concurrent load with well-calculated expected operation counts. This ensures MockT's thread safety for use in concurrent testing scenarios.

TESTING.md (6)

1-37: Well-structured introduction and clear mandatory requirements.

The document effectively establishes testing guidelines with clear principles and mandatory compliance requirements that ensure consistency across all darvaza.org projects.


38-185: Comprehensive testing utilities documentation with excellent examples.

The detailed explanation of testing utilities, assertion functions, and hierarchy guidelines provides clear guidance for consistent test implementation. The examples effectively demonstrate proper usage patterns.


186-287: Excellent test structure patterns with clear implementation steps.

The step-by-step guide for implementing compliant test structures is comprehensive and practical. The emphasis on factory functions for decoupling parameter order from field alignment is a crucial design consideration.


288-722: Outstanding documentation of complexity management and factory patterns.

The comprehensive coverage of anonymous function limits, helper method extraction, and various factory function patterns provides exceptional guidance. The critical explanation of parameter reordering for field alignment (lines 653-711) is particularly valuable for understanding why factory functions are mandatory.


723-949: Thorough coverage of testing patterns and best practices.

The documentation effectively covers field alignment, concurrent testing, benchmarking, MockT usage, error testing patterns, and integration with CI/CD. The best practices section provides clear, actionable guidance.


950-1111: Excellent forbidden patterns documentation and compliance checklist.

The clear examples of forbidden patterns paired with correct alternatives provide invaluable guidance. The compliance checklist (lines 1078-1093) offers a practical verification tool, and the summary effectively reinforces the mandatory nature of these guidelines.

slices_test.go (1)

1-63: Exemplary implementation of mandatory testing patterns.

The file correctly implements all 6 mandatory TestCase compliance requirements: interface validations, factory functions, TestCase interface implementation, RunTestCases usage, and proper test structure.

generics_test.go (2)

1-190: Perfect compliance with testing guidelines for generic types.

The implementation demonstrates excellent handling of generic test cases while maintaining full compliance with all mandatory testing requirements. The factory functions and interface implementations are particularly well done.


396-427: Good extraction of helper functions for test clarity.

The helper functions evaluateYesFunction and evaluateNoFunction are properly extracted to improve test readability and maintain focus on the test logic.

panicerror_test.go (2)

1-93: Excellent decomposition of complex test logic.

The test implementation demonstrates best practices by breaking down complex test logic into focused helper methods (lines 44-84). This approach maintains compliance with complexity limits while improving readability.


233-310: Well-structured panic testing with focused helper methods.

The decomposition of panic validation logic into specific helper methods (validatePanicFunction, extractPanicError, validatePanicPayload) demonstrates excellent adherence to complexity management guidelines.

testing.go (4)

1-135: Excellent thread-safe MockT implementation.

The MockT struct provides a robust mock implementation with proper thread safety using sync.RWMutex. The query methods (HasErrors, LastError, HasLogs, LastLog) and Reset functionality enable comprehensive testing of test utilities.


178-283: Well-designed assertion helpers following hierarchy principles.

The assertion functions demonstrate proper base/derived relationships (e.g., AssertError delegates to AssertNotNil) and consistent implementation patterns. The use of generics provides type safety while maintaining flexibility.


345-363: Correct implementation of boolean assertions.

The delegation to AssertEqual follows the documented base/derived function pattern. The revive:disable comments are appropriately used for the flag-parameter rule, which doesn't apply to assertion functions testing boolean values.


442-477: Solid concurrent testing and benchmarking utilities.

The implementations follow Go best practices: RunConcurrentTest properly manages goroutines with WaitGroup and error collection via channels, while RunBenchmark correctly separates setup from timed execution.

panic_test.go (8)

9-20: Excellent use of compile-time interface verification.

This ensures all test case types properly implement the TestCase interface, catching any interface compliance issues at compile time rather than runtime.


22-92: Well-structured refactoring of asRecoveredTestCase.

The refactoring successfully:

  • Implements the TestCase interface pattern
  • Adds constructor for consistent instantiation
  • Separates test logic into focused helper methods
  • Improves handling of different recovered value types (pass-through, string-to-error conversion, etc.)

The code is more maintainable and follows the established testing patterns.


98-160: Consistent refactoring with proper use of assertion helpers.

The catcherDoTestCase successfully adopts the TestCase interface pattern and properly uses:

  • AssertError/AssertNoError for error checking
  • AssertTypeIs for type assertions
  • AssertNotNil for nil checks

This maintains consistency with the new testing infrastructure.


221-246: Good adoption of standardised assertion helpers.

The test properly uses AssertNil, AssertNotNil, AssertEqual, and AssertTypeIs helpers, improving consistency with the testing infrastructure.


248-285: Proper use of assertion helpers in concurrent test.

The concurrent test correctly uses AssertNotNil, AssertTrue, and AssertTypeIs while maintaining the essential concurrent testing logic.


391-595: Excellent comprehensive test coverage for Must/Maybe utilities.

The test implementation demonstrates:

  • Thorough coverage of success and panic scenarios
  • Generic test helpers reducing code duplication
  • Proper verification of panic wrapping with stack traces
  • Testing across multiple types (primitives, slices, pointers, structs)
  • Awareness of struct field ordering for memory optimization

This provides robust validation of the new utility functions.


597-806: Comprehensive test coverage for MustOK/MaybeOK utilities.

The tests mirror the Must/Maybe pattern effectively:

  • Success scenarios when ok=true
  • Panic scenarios when ok=false with message verification
  • Consistent use of generic test helpers
  • Coverage across multiple types

The implementation maintains consistency with the Must/Maybe tests while properly validating the boolean-based variants.


484-484: Consistent use of S() slice creation helper.

The code properly uses the S() helper function for slice creation, maintaining consistency with the testing infrastructure patterns.

Also applies to: 689-689, 744-744

⚠️ Potential issue

Fix misleading comment about array vs slice.

The comment states "array literal, not slice" but the code []*int{nil, nil, nil} creates a slice, not an array. In Go, this syntax creates a slice literal. An array literal would be [3]*int{nil, nil, nil}.

Either update the comment to reflect that it's a slice, or change the code to use an actual array if that was the intent:

-	ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // array literal, not slice
+	ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // slice literal with nil elements

Or if an array was intended:

-	ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // array literal, not slice
+	ptrArray := [3]*int{nil, nil, nil} // array literal, not slice
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // array literal, not slice
- ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // array literal, not slice
+ ptrSlice := []*int{nil, nil, nil} // slice literal with nil elements
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In zero_test.go at line 685, the comment incorrectly states that the code
creates an array literal, but the syntax `[]*int{nil, nil, nil}` actually
creates a slice literal. To fix this, either update the comment to say "slice
literal, not array" to accurately describe the code, or if the intent was to
create an array, change the code to `[3]*int{nil, nil, nil}` to define an array
literal.

LGTM - Excellent work.
I especially like the Must/Maybe thingies which are implemented very nicely and I think that the examples are enough to get anyone started.

Thank you for the high quality work as usual.
