Monkey Patching in Golang
Monkey Patching As I’ve seen monkey patching is not advise in golang but it is possible here is a simple example. Code to test: package main var version = func(test string) string { return "true version" + test } func getVersion() string { return version("test") } Test package main import ( "testing" ) func TestVersion(t *testing.T) { oldfunction := version defer func() { version = oldfunction }() version = func(name string) string { return "fake return output" } if getVersion() != "fake return output" { t.Fatalf("failed" + getVersion()) } }
