gotesting only example functions

[Archos]

I've a test file only with example functions (they're to test the
ouput) but gotest can not run it.

testing: warning: no tests to run


Is there any way for that gotest can run those example functions?

[Jan Mercl]

It's clearly stated in the error message IMO. Add:

func Test(t *testing.T) {} // or TestWhatsoever so gotest will find at least one valid test function signature.

[dupoxy]

//file name : example_test.go
package XXX_test


// The output of this example function.
func ExampleXXX() {
	fmt.Println("The output of this example function.")
}

$ go test
ok  	XXX
PASS

edit : 
// The output of this example functionXXX.
then
$ go test
FAIL	XXX
--- FAIL: ExampleXXX (0.00 seconds)
got:
The output of this example functionXXX

want:
The output of this example function.

FAIL

please see /pkg/sort/example_test.go for a working example

Gosh, I'd missed that gotest handled examples as well as tests & benchmarks.
Thanks to dupoxy for bringing it to my attention!

"gotest" can not handle it because I did it using gotest, else the new
tool "go" with the command "test". Thanks dupoxy

@Archos I Tried on go tip :
go/src/pkg/sort$ gotest
rm -f _test/sort.a
rm -f _test/sort.a
gopack grc _test/sort.a _gotest_.6
--- FAIL: ExampleInts (0.00 seconds)
got:
[1 2 3 4 5 6]
want:
[1 2 3 4 5 7]
FAIL
gotest: "./6.out" failed: exit status 1
so gotest should work for you to

It also works in weekly. But I'm confused because in that directory it
doesn't this warning

testing: warning: no tests to run

In change it is showed when I run it in my project. I copy that same
function to my project and comment all another code.

I tested out of GOROOT :
copyed sort.go and example_test.go to /home/olivier/Goenv/test/src/sorttest
edited sort.go : line 7 package sort to package sorttest
edited example_test.go : line 5 package sort_test to package sorttest_test
edited example_test.go : line 9 package "sort" to     sort "sorttest"
$ export GOPATH=/home/olivier/Goenv/test
$ cd /home/olivier/Goenv/test/src/sorttest
$ go test
ok      sorttest

testing: warning: no tests to run

PASS
so edited example_test.go to FAIL
and
$ go test
FAIL    sorttest

testing: warning: no tests to run

--- FAIL: ExampleInts (0.00 seconds)
got:
[1 2 3 4 5 6]
want:
[1 2 3 4 5 7]
FAIL

warning: no tests to run  tells you you should write tests and is right examples are examples not tests ;)

[Archos]

Yes. And it is not showed there because there are another test files
which they have tests

$ cd $GOROOT/src/pkg/sort
$ gotest -v
