)
func AssertCustomErrorHandler(t testing.TB, errs map[string]string, key, expected string) {
val, ok := errs[key]
// using EqualSkip and NotEqualSkip as building blocks for my custom Assert function
EqualSkip(t, 2, ok, true)
NotEqualSkip(t, 2, val, nil)
EqualSkip(t, 2, val, expected)
}
func TestEqual(t *testing.T) {
// error comes from your package/library
err := errors.New("my error")
NotEqual(t, err, nil)
Equal(t, err.Error(), "my error")
err = nil
Equal(t, err, nil)
fn := func() {
panic("omg omg omg!")
}
PanicMatches(t, func() { fn() }, "omg omg omg!")
PanicMatches(t, func() { panic("omg omg omg!") }, "omg omg omg!")
// errs would have come from your package/library
errs := map[string]string{}
errs["Name"] = "User Name Invalid"

AssertCustomErrorHandler(t, errs, "Name", "User Name Invalid")
AssertCustomErrorHandler(t, errs, "Email", "User Email Invalid")
}
