How to make API test files with Beego

Question

I have below test file:

package tests

import (
    "net/http"
    "net/http/httptest"
    "testing"
    "runtime"
    "path/filepath"
    _ "hello/routers"
    _ "github.com/lib/pq"

    "github.com/astaxie/beego"
    . "github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/convey"
)

func init() {
    _, file, _, _ := runtime.Caller(1)
    apppath, _ := filepath.Abs(filepath.Dir(filepath.Join(file, ".." + string(filepath.Separator))))
    beego.TestBeegoInit(apppath)
}

// TestGet is a sample to run an endpoint test
func TestGet(t *testing.T) {
    r, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "/api/testing", nil)
    w := httptest.NewRecorder()
    beego.BeeApp.Handlers.ServeHTTP(w, r)

    beego.Trace("testing", "TestGet", "Code[%d]\n%s", w.Code, w.Body.String())

    Convey("Subject: Test Station Endpoint\n", t, func() {
            Convey("Status Code Should Be 200", func() {
                    So(w.Code, ShouldEqual, 200)
            })
            Convey("The Result Should Not Be Empty", func() {
                    So(w.Body.Len(), ShouldBeGreaterThan, 0)
            })
    })
}

Then when I run go test tests/*.go

I get:

2015/01/14 23:55:19 [config.go:284] [W] open /home/IdeaProjects/go/src/hello/tests/conf/app.conf: no such file or directory 
[ORM]register db Ping `default`, pq: password authentication failed for user "hello"
must have one register DataBase alias named `default`
FAIL    command-line-arguments  0.008s

I've bootstraped Beego with bee api then using pq Postgres Driver for PG database.

Also I'm not sure why it's looking at /hello/tests/conf/app.conf path for app.conf file it should look for /hello/conf/app.conf.

Is there a reason why this is happening?

Hi, did you find out what is going on with the testing? I have a similar problem where my app routes aren't being picked up. Edit: Figured out I needed to import my routes package in the test to pick them up... doh — Sekm, Jan 28 '15 at 07:45
I am facing the same issue , it's trying to find the conf inside tests and not the project. Did u find ay resolution @Passionate Developer — souravlahoti, Nov 28 '16 at 07:33

PG can't authenticate you probably because it can't find the password in the app.conf file, which it also can't find because it's looking in the wrong place.

Try using an absolute path to your config rather than the convoluted method you have in your init() function.
