How to run unit tests for appengine go project

I have my appengine SDK in ~/Applications/google_appengine

In Eclipse, i've got an external tool setup to run the dev server. It's pointed at:

~/Application/google_appengine/dev_appserver.py

Also in Eclipse (Go Preferences), I've set the GOROOT to point to

~/Application/google_appengine/goroot

Now, I'm trying to run some unit tests for my project. If I use my regular go installation (not the appengine one), I get this error:

../../context/context.go:4:2: cannot find package "appengine" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/pkg/appengine (from $GOROOT)
/Users/home/src/go/foodbox/src/appengine (from $GOPATH)
../../context/data.go:4:2: cannot find package "appengine/datastore" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/pkg/appengine/datastore (from $GOROOT)
/Users/home/src/go/foodbox/src/appengine/datastore (from $GOPATH)
../../context/context.go:5:2: cannot find package "appengine/user" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/pkg/appengine/user (from $GOROOT)
/Users/home/src/go/foodbox/src/appengine/user (from $GOPATH)

If i use the appengine go, I get this one:

load cmd/cgo: package cmd/cgo: no Go source files in /Users/home/Application/google_appengine/goroot/src/cmd/cgo

It seems like the default installation can't find the appengine packages (I guess that's not surprising). I'm not sure what the problem is when I use the appengine go tools. Can anyone tell me how to get this to work?

Thanks!

See the docs:

http://blog.golang.org/appengine-dec2013

Check out the section called "Local Unit Testing"

I think what you are looking for is goapp test that comes with the sdk.

It may be worth mentioning that the appengine/aetest package is now included in the SDK, since 1.8.6. See the documentation.

Basically you get an appengine.Context that can be used in your tests, similar to icub3d/appenginetesting.

Quoting the example from the docs:

import (
        "testing"

        "appengine/aetest"
)

func TestMyFunction(t *testing.T) {
        c, err := aetest.NewContext(nil)
        if err != nil {
                t.Fatal(err)
        }
        defer c.Close()

        // Run code and tests requiring the appengine.Context using c.
}
