How to automatically get all dependencies (even for tests)?

[Steven Degutis]

`go get` and `go get .` skip any dependencies that are in test files. Is there something analogous to this command but takes into account test files?

[Andrew Gerrand]

go list -f '{{range .TestImports}}{{.}}
{{end}}' PACKAGE | xargs go get

where PACKAGE is the package whose test dependencies you wish to install.

I believe you also need to list the .XTestImports section, although I don't understand why (I have no idea what it means.) One example package where you need to is labix.org/v2/mgo as it depends on launchpad.net/gocheck but that dependency is only listed in the XTestImports section.

Has anyone else thought that it might be nice
if the go command's template language included
a "list" function, to allow something like the following instead
of the above?

go list -f '{{list .TestImports}}' PACKAGE | xargs go get

The list function would simply print all the elements in
its argument slice, one per line.

That's the reason I wrote godep, demo:

godep is too limiting in this case (although its graph-printing
functionality is cool). i'd like to be able to do the same thing with any
of the []string items in the Package struct.

I know, that would be really great. Anyway, the purpose of godep is to
print dependencies between functions, methods, and types, not packages,
I just haven't had the time to finish that. Functions and types are
possible with go/ast, for methods I am waiting on exp/types.

I know this is a old thread, but the correct way to now download test dependencies is

go test -i
"Install packages that are dependencies of the test. Do not run the test."

thanks

Installing a package does not do downloading. I think `go get -t
example.com/joe/foo` is what is needed to download the test
dependencies.

go get -t

An easy way around this is to just import the package with an underscore before it in your main file. I only had one test package I needed so this worked well for me.

i.e _"github.com/some/thing"

[Sebastien Binet]

go get -t foo/bar/...

should work.
