AT012

AT012

The AT012 analyzer reports likely incorrect uses of multiple TestAcc function name prefixes up to the conventional underscore (_) prefix separator within the same file. Typically, Terraform acceptance tests should use the same naming prefix within one test file so testers can easily run all acceptance tests for the file and not miss associated tests.

Optional parameters:

• ignored-filenames Comma-separated list of file names to ignore, defaults to none.

Flagged Code

func TestAccExampleThing1_Test(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

func TestAccExampleThing2_Test(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

Passing Code

func TestAccExampleThing_Test1(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

func TestAccExampleThing_Test2(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

Ignoring Reports

In addition to the optional parameters, reports can be ignored by adding a //lintignore:AT012 Go code comment before any test declaration to ignore, e.g.

//lintignore:AT012
func TestAccExampleThing1_Test(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

//lintignore:AT012
func TestAccExampleThing2_Test(t *testing.T) { /* ... */ }

If a file mainly uses one prefix, the code ignores can be simplified to only the non-conforming test declarations.
