How to unit test and e2e test?

[williamhstone]

How can I unit test my code? Is there some mocking that can be done with tview.NewApplication and tview.NewPages?

Also, how can I end-to-end test? I want to bring up my app, update some form fields and validate the updates on screen?

Thanks!

Adding unit tests to tview has been on my todo list for almost as long as the project exists. The idea is to create a special tcell.Screen object whose content is then extracted and compared after the test has run.

You might want to create something like that for you application. I haven't given it much thought, though, so I don't know the pitfalls of this technique yet.
