table driven test: skipping a test

[Manlio Perillo]

Hi.

In a table driven test suite I want to skip some tests.

Currently I'm doing:

for _, test := range lexTests {

        if strings.HasPrefix(test.name, "-") {

            // We can not use t.Skip

            t.Logf("TODO: %s", test.name[1:])

            continue

        }

        ...

}

The skipped test entry has a comment explaining why it is skipped.

Is this the best way to handle the problem?

Thanks  Manlio

Currently, yes. I use bools or prefix of test names for this, but see
