A small Go testing library that detects goroutine leaks by snapshotting running goroutines at the start and end of a test and comparing them. It is a refactored, tested variant of the leak detector used in Go's net/http tests and CockroachDB.

Use cases

  • detect goroutine leaks in Go tests
  • fail tests that leave goroutines running
  • verify goroutine cleanup after test completion
  • add leak checking with custom timeouts
  • check leaks using context-based cancellation

When to choose

  • you write Go tests for concurrent code and want to catch leaked goroutines
  • you want a tiny drop-in test helper with defer-based usage

When to avoid

  • your tests use t.Parallel(), which leaktest does not support well
  • you need leak detection outside of Go or for non-goroutine resources
