simple Style

The simple style generates a standalone test function without a table. Each test case becomes its own t.Run block, or there is a single assertion block for single-path functions.

When to Use

• The function has a single obvious execution path.
• You want a quick test without the overhead of a table.
• Internal or very small helper functions.

Generated Structure

For a function func Add(a, b int) int:

func TestAdd(t *testing.T) {
    t.Run("TODO: case 1", func(t *testing.T) {
        got := Add(0, 0)
        assert.Equalf(t, 0, got, "Add(0, 0)")
    })
}

For a function returning error:

func TestConnect(t *testing.T) {
    t.Run("TODO: success", func(t *testing.T) {
        err := Connect("localhost:5432")
        assert.NoErrorf(t, err, "Connect: unexpected error")
    })

    t.Run("TODO: error", func(t *testing.T) {
        err := Connect("")
        assert.Errorf(t, err, "Connect: expected error for empty addr")
    })
}

When Not to Use

• Functions with multiple inputs — a table is cleaner.
• Methods with interface dependencies — the check style's before field handles mock setup more clearly.
• Anything where you need to assert different things in different cases.
