gotest in color

Peter Preeper gave a short demo of gotest, a drop-in wrapper around go test that adds colour to its output. Install it with go get -u github.com/rakyll/gotest, then use it exactly like go test — it accepts all the same arguments and flags, for example gotest -v github.com/rakyll/hey.

Key points:

• gotest is go test with colour.
• Install with go get -u github.com/rakyll/gotest.
• It accepts the same flags and arguments as go test.
• Handy for reading verbose test output.
