Debugging tests with delve

Question

I\'m using \"go test -v\" to run bunch of unit tests. I\'d like to debug them using delve. When I try to run debugger, I get an \"Can not debug non-main

Answer 1

Use dlv test:

$ dlv test -- -test.v
Type 'help' for list of commands.
(dlv) continue
=== RUN   TestReadFileError
--- PASS: TestReadFileError (0.00s)
=== RUN   TestReadFile
--- PASS: TestReadFile (0.00s)
[..]
PASS
Process 8014 has exited with status 0
(dlv) quit
Process 8014 has exited with status 0

You can also pass -test.run to select tests to run (just like go test -run).

Internally, this is the same as Flimzy's answer (it compiles the test binary with go test -c), but more streamlined and won't leave .test files for you to clean up.
