Golang tests, linters and error handling

Hi,

In this edition we'll dive deeper into the Golang sea; we'll be talking about testing, error handling and linters.

Golang has some great resources about these topics:

• https://golang.org/pkg/testing/
• https://blog.golang.org/error-handling-and-go
• https://blog.golang.org/go1.13-errors
• https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint

We will be exploring patterns and some useful implementations of those topics that we have implemented at Huli.

Agenda

• Introduction
• Testing patterns
• Error handling
• Linters

All these topics will be explored using a demo project that will be published in this event.

What should you bring?

• A laptop with Docker installed. https://docs.docker.com/install/
• Take a look at the event https://www.meetup.com/Golang-Costa-Rica/events/269507531/ to know who to set up a Golang environment.
• All our demo code will be found at https://github.com/fahernandez/go-linter-test-error-handling

What if the country is still is in a State of Emergency with Social Distancing and/or Quarantine ongoing?

• The event will be hosted online at https://zoom.us/j/93434462777.

Pura vida!
