This makes a quick pass through our tests;
Discard output/err
----------------------------------------------
Many tests were testing for error-conditions, but didn't discard output.
This produced a lot of noise when running the tests, and made it hard
to discover if there were actual failures, or if the output was expected.
For example:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
Error: "create" requires exactly 2 arguments.
See 'create --help'.
Usage: create [OPTIONS] CONFIG file|- [flags]
Create a config from a file or STDIN
Error: "create" requires exactly 2 arguments.
See 'create --help'.
Usage: create [OPTIONS] CONFIG file|- [flags]
Create a config from a file or STDIN
Error: error creating config
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
And after discarding output:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
Use sub-tests where possible
----------------------------------------------
Some tests were already set-up to use test-tables, and even had a usable
name (or in some cases "error" to check for). Change them to actual sub-
tests. Same test as above, but now with sub-tests and output discarded:
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments#01
=== RUN TestConfigCreateErrors/error_creating_config
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/requires_exactly_2_arguments#01 (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestConfigCreateErrors/error_creating_config (0.00s)
PASS
It's not perfect in all cases (in the above, there's duplicate "expected"
errors, but Go conveniently adds "#01" for the duplicate). There's probably
also various tests I missed that could still use the same changes applied;
we can improve these in follow-ups.
Set cmd.Args to prevent test-failures
----------------------------------------------
When running tests from my IDE, it compiles the tests before running,
then executes the compiled binary to run the tests. Cobra doesn't like
that, because in that situation `os.Args` is taken as argument for the
command that's executed. The command that's tested now sees the test-
flags as arguments (`-test.v -test.run ..`), which causes various tests
to fail ("Command XYZ does not accept arguments").
# compile the tests:
go test -c -o foo.test
# execute the test:
./foo.test -test.v -test.run TestFoo
=== RUN TestFoo
Error: "foo" accepts no arguments.
The Cobra maintainers ran into the same situation, and for their own
use have added a special case to ignore `os.Args` in these cases;
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/v1.8.1/command.go#L1078-L1083
args := c.args
// Workaround FAIL with "go test -v" or "cobra.test -test.v", see #155
if c.args == nil && filepath.Base(os.Args[0]) != "cobra.test" {
args = os.Args[1:]
}
Unfortunately, that exception is too specific (only checks for `cobra.test`),
so doesn't automatically fix the issue for other test-binaries. They did
provide a `cmd.SetArgs()` utility for this purpose
https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/v1.8.1/command.go#L276-L280
// SetArgs sets arguments for the command. It is set to os.Args[1:] by default, if desired, can be overridden
// particularly useful when testing.
func (c *Command) SetArgs(a []string) {
c.args = a
}
And the fix is to explicitly set the command's args to an empty slice to
prevent Cobra from falling back to using `os.Args[1:]` as arguments.
cmd := newSomeThingCommand()
cmd.SetArgs([]string{})
Some tests already take this issue into account, and I updated some tests
for this, but there's likely many other ones that can use the same treatment.
Perhaps the Cobra maintainers would accept a contribution to make their
condition less specific and to look for binaries ending with a `.test`
suffix (which is what compiled binaries usually are named as).

- Make the package-level configMergeTests local to the test itself.
- Rename fields to better describe intent
- Remove some redundant variables
- Reverse "expected" and "actual" fields for consistency
- Use assert.Check() to not fail early

Make use of existing modules and functions in order to output the merged configs.
Added skip interpolation flag of variables, so that you can pipe the output back to stack deploy without much hassle.
