What it is

go-sqlmock is a mock driver implementing Go's sql/driver interface that simulates SQL database behavior in unit tests without requiring a real database connection. It allows developers to test database interaction code by stubbing SQL queries, results, and driver methods, enabling pure TDD workflows without external dependencies. Flat package structure with driver implementation files at root (driver.go, statement.go, rows.go, argument.go, etc.) organized by concept. Version-specific implementations (sqlmock_go18.go, sqlmock_go19.go, statement_before_go18.go) handle Go feature differences. Examples/ directory contains three runnable use cases (basic, blog, orders). Tests colocated with…

Start here

Read these in order:

  • argument.go — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 3 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • examples/basic/basic_test.go — Built on the foundation; imported by 0 downstream files.
  • examples/blog/blog_test.go — Built on the foundation; imported by 0 downstream files.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and install: git clone https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock && cd go-sqlmock && go mod download. Run tests: go test ./.... The go.mod shows go 1.15 as the module version.

Daily commands:

This is a library, not an executable. Run tests with go test ./.... Run specific example tests: go test ./examples/basic, go test ./examples/blog, or go test ./examples/orders.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
  • Could not verify license from the available repository evidence
  • Version-specific behavior: sqlmock has different implementations for Go <1.8, 1.8–1.18, and 1.9+ (sqlmock_before_go18.go vs. sqlmock_go18.go vs. sqlmock_go19.go). Tests must run against the target Go version. Context…
  • License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
