Overview

flute is the Golang HTTP client testing framework. The goal is

  • Test request parameters such as the request path, headers and body
  • Mock the HTTP server

flute.Transport implements http.RoundTripper.

flute uses testify's assert internally. You can test the http request parameters with assert.

For example, the following test failure message means the request header is unexpected value.
