GoMock is a mocking framework for Go that generates mock implementations of interfaces via the mockgen code-generation tool. It integrates with Go's built-in testing package, but the repository is no longer maintained in favor of the go.uber.org/mock fork.
Use cases
- generate mocks for Go interfaces
- unit test Go code with mocked dependencies
- mock database or API interfaces in Go tests
- set up expectation-based testing in Go
- replace real dependencies with test doubles in Go
When to choose
- you are working on a legacy Go codebase already using gomock
- you need the original gomock API for compatibility with existing generated mocks
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Go project - use the maintained go.uber.org/mock fork instead
- you need ongoing bug fixes or support for newer Go versions
- you prefer hand-written fakes or a different mocking style
