Test cobra cli subcommand flags

I use cobra and viper for context. I want to test a subcommand with flag. So I have a root command with init function as following

SubCmd.Flags().Bool("test-flag", false, "It is a flag")
RootCmd.AddCommand(SubCmd)

Now I test the command as follows

func TestSubCommand(t *testing.T) {
    var bufError bytes.Buffer
    RootCmd.SetOut(&buf)
    RootCmd.SetErr(&bufError)
    RootCmd.SetArgs([]string{"subcmd", "--test-flag"})

    err := RootCmd.Execute()

    assert.NoError(t, err)

}

However in my subcommand cmd.Flags().GetBool("test-flag") is always false. So, I am not able to test the flag functionality.

Any solutions on how to test the flag functionalities? Any workarounds or corrections?
