Hello Everyone, For those of you have been been asking (in particular @voxadam , @bjornerik, @mohae , @tatsushid , @tommasop ) how to contribute to Hugo in the “Contributing golang code” thread: [image] Contributing golang code Hi, I’m learning golang and I’m migrating my existing website t…

@tommasop ok then you’re in :). Owen

@tommasop @teknico @oscar_b @bjornerik @mohae @spf13 Folks, if you’ve not yet seen it @spf13 has merged in some of my tests and fixes into master. @spf13 - ta, very much :slight_smile: I’ve just done a quick catchup and I’m seeing test coverage of: $ go test -cover ./… ? GitHub - owenwaller…

First, I’ll start improving test coverage of hugolib/pageGroup.go, hugolib/pageSort.go and hugolib/template.go, not a sub package. I’m familiar with them and have written some of them.

One slightly related questions that I have been pondering. Arrest me if I’m wrong here, but in Go there doesn’t seem to be a separation of tests vs actual code other than the test functions (by naming convention). So if you need some temporary struct you can create it inside the function But if y…

@bjornerik, the third case is, for example, doing in my latest PR , isn’t it? Sorry for it. Go doesn’t have the functionality to insert method to an instance, like Ruby, Perl etc. So, if you just need a small code to reuse in a function, you can define and use a function literal (Closure) but if yo…

@tatsushid - yes the last case was “you”, and that (great commit - great tests btw) got me thinking, but I have done similar myself. But what you’re saying about them not getting their way into the final binary is the most important thing. It’s just me that is used to the “Java world” (a lot of bad…

@bjornerik, Go is similar to C or C++. go test builds all codes in a package, links them and makes one binary for test. So the “real” code can refer the codes in test files because those are merged in a same binary, same scope (If you use the same package name in test files). That’s why a test code …

@tatsushid thanks for that input, very useful.

@tatsushid That’s fine with me. If you’re familiar with them so much the better.

Thanks
