Ginkgo 2.0 now has a Release Candidate. 1.16.5 advertises the existence of the RC. 1.16.5 deprecates GinkgoParallelNode in favor of GinkgoParallelProcess
You can silence the RC advertisement by setting an ACK_GINKG_RC=true
environment variable or creating a file in your home directory called .ack-ginkgo-rc
1.16.4 retracts 1.16.3. There are no code changes. The 1.16.3 tag was associated with the wrong commit and an attempt to change it after-the-fact has proven problematic. 1.16.4 retracts 1.16.3 in Ginkgo's go.mod and creates a new, correctly tagged, release.
- Measure is now deprecated and emits a deprecation warning.
- Deprecations can be suppressed by setting an
ACK_GINKGO_DEPRECATIONS=<semver>
environment variable.

ginkgo
now provides a hint if you accidentally forget to runginkgo bootstrap
to generate a*_suite_test.go
file that actually invokes the Ginkgo test runner. #345- thanks to improvements in
go test -c
ginkgo
no longer needs to fix Go's compilation output to ensure compilation errors are expressed relative to the CWD. [#357] ginkgo watch -watchRegExp=...
allows you to specify a custom regular expression to watch. Only files matching the regular expression are watched for changes (the default is\.go$
) [#356]ginkgo
now always emits compilation output. Previously, only failed compilation output was printed out. [#277]ginkgo -requireSuite
now fails the test run if there are*_test.go
files butgo test
fails to detect any tests. Typically this means you forgot to runginkgo bootstrap
to generate a suite file. [#344]ginkgo -timeout=DURATION
allows you to adjust the timeout for the entire test suite (default is 24 hours) [#248]
Improvements:
- Significantly improved parallel test distribution. Now instead of pre-sharding test cases across workers (which can result in idle workers and poor test performance) Ginkgo uses a shared queue to keep all workers busy until all tests are complete. This improves test-time performance and consistency.
Skip(message)
can be used to skip the current test.- Added
extensions/table
- a Ginkgo DSL for Table Driven Tests - Add
GinkgoRandomSeed()
- shorthand forconfig.GinkgoConfig.RandomSeed
- Support for retrying flaky tests with
--flakeAttempts
ginkgo ./...
now recurses as you'd expect- Added
Specify
a synonym forIt
- Support colorise on Windows
- Broader support for various go compilation flags in the
ginkgo
CLI
Bug Fixes:
- Ginkgo tests now fail when you
panic(nil)
(#167)
Improvements
ginkgo -coverpkg
calls down togo test -coverpkg
(#160)ginkgo -afterSuiteHook COMMAND
invokes the passed-inCOMMAND
after a test suite completes (#152)- Relaxed requirement for Go 1.4+.
ginkgo
now works with Go v1.3+ (#166)
Ginkgo now requires Go 1.4+
Improvements:
-
Call reporters in reverse order when announcing spec completion -- allows custom reporters to emit output before the default reporter does.
-
Improved focus behavior. Now, this:
FDescribe("Some describe", func() { It("A", func() {}) FIt("B", func() {}) })
will run
B
but notA
. This tends to be a common usage pattern when in the thick of writing and debugging tests. -
When
SIGINT
is received, Ginkgo will emit the contents of theGinkgoWriter
before running theAfterSuite
. Useful for debugging stuck tests. -
When
--progress
is set, Ginkgo will write test progress (in particular, Ginkgo will say when it is about to run a BeforeEach, AfterEach, It, etc...) to theGinkgoWriter
. This is useful for debugging stuck tests and tests that generate many logs. -
Improved output when an error occurs in a setup or teardown block.
-
When
--dryRun
is set, Ginkgo will walk the spec tree and emit to its reporter without actually running anything. Best paired with-v
to understand which specs will run in which order. -
Add
By
to help document longIt
s.By
simply writes to theGinkgoWriter
. -
Add support for precompiled tests:
ginkgo build <path-to-package>
will now compile the package, producing a file namedpackage.test
- The compiled
package.test
file can be run directly. This runs the tests in series. - To run precompiled tests in parallel, you can run:
ginkgo -p package.test
-
Support
bootstrap
ping andgenerate
ing Agouti specs. -
ginkgo generate
andginkgo bootstrap
now honor the package name already defined in a given directory -
The
ginkgo
CLI ignoresSIGQUIT
. Prevents its stack dump from interlacing with the underlying test suite's stack dump. -
The
ginkgo
CLI now compiles tests into a temporary directory instead of the package directory. This necessitates upgrading to Go v1.4+. -
ginkgo -notify
now works on Linux
Bug Fixes:
- If --skipPackages is used and all packages are skipped, Ginkgo should exit 0.
- Fix tempfile leak when running in parallel
- Fix incorrect failure message when a panic occurs during a parallel test run
- Fixed an issue where a pending test within a focused context (or a focused test within a pending context) would skip all other tests.
- Be more consistent about handling SIGTERM as well as SIGINT
- When interrupted while concurrently compiling test suites in the background, Ginkgo now cleans up the compiled artifacts.
- Fixed a long standing bug where
ginkgo -p
would hang if a process spawned by one of the Ginkgo parallel nodes does not exit. (Hooray!)
No changes, just dropping the beta.
New Features:
ginkgo watch
now monitors packages and their dependencies for changes. The depth of the dependency tree can be modified with the-depth
flag.- Test suites with a programmatic focus (
FIt
,FDescribe
, etc...) exit with non-zero status code, even when they pass. This allows CI systems to detect accidental commits of focused test suites. ginkgo -p
runs the testsuite in parallel with an auto-detected number of nodes.ginkgo -tags=TAG_LIST
passes a list of tags down to thego build
command.ginkgo --failFast
aborts the test suite after the first failure.ginkgo generate file_1 file_2
can take multiple file arguments.- Ginkgo now summarizes any spec failures that occurred at the end of the test run.
ginkgo --randomizeSuites
will run tests suites in random order using the generated/passed-in seed.
Improvements:
ginkgo -skipPackage
now takes a comma-separated list of strings. If the relative path to a package matches one of the entries in the comma-separated list, that package is skipped.ginkgo --untilItFails
no longer recompiles between attempts.- Ginkgo now panics when a runnable node (
It
,BeforeEach
,JustBeforeEach
,AfterEach
,Measure
) is nested within another runnable node. This is always a mistake. Any test suites that panic because of this change should be fixed.
Bug Fixes:
ginkgo boostrap
andginkgo generate
no longer fail when dealing withhyphen-separated-packages
.- parallel specs are now better distributed across nodes - fixed a crashing bug where (for example) distributing 11 tests across 7 nodes would panic
New Features:
- Add
GinkgoParallelNode()
- shorthand forconfig.GinkgoConfig.ParallelNode
Improvements:
- When compilation fails, the compilation output is rewritten to present a correct relative path. Allows ⌘-clicking in iTerm open the file in your text editor.
--untilItFails
andginkgo watch
now generate new random seeds between test runs, unless a particular random seed is specified.
Bug Fixes:
-cover
now generates a correctly combined coverprofile when running with in parallel with multiple-node
s.- Print out the contents of the
GinkgoWriter
whenBeforeSuite
orAfterSuite
fail. - Fix all remaining race conditions in Ginkgo's test suite.
Breaking changes:
thirdparty/gomocktestreporter
is gone. UseGinkgoT()
instead- Modified the Reporter interface
watch
is now a subcommand, not a flag.
DSL changes:
BeforeSuite
andAfterSuite
for setting up and tearing down test suites.AfterSuite
is triggered on interrupt (^C
) as well as exit.SynchronizedBeforeSuite
andSynchronizedAfterSuite
for setting up and tearing down singleton resources across parallel nodes.
CLI changes:
watch
is now a subcommand, not a flag--nodot
flag can be passed toginkgo generate
andginkgo bootstrap
to avoid dot imports. This explicitly imports all exported identifiers in Ginkgo and Gomega. Refreshing this list can be done by runningginkgo nodot
- Additional arguments can be passed to specs. Pass them after the
--
separator --skipPackage
flag takes a regexp and ignores any packages with package names passing said regexp.--trace
flag prints out full stack traces when errors occur, not just the line at which the error occurs.
Misc:
- Start using semantic versioning
- Start maintaining changelog
Major refactor:
- Pull out Ginkgo's internal to
internal
- Rename
example
everywhere tospec
- Much more!
