What did you do?

My project directory looks like this:

book
+ chapter1
   + 01_fib
   + 02_recursive
   chapter1.go
+ chapter2 
( etc...)

I would like to run tests for all chapters from the root (book) directory.

go test ./... works as expected, running all tests found in all subdirectories.

$ go test  ./...
?   	bitbucket.org/lsheehan/fp-in-go	[no test files]
?   	bitbucket.org/lsheehan/fp-in-go/chapter1	[no test files]
ok  	bitbucket.org/lsheehan/fp-in-go/chapter1/01_fib	2.860s

go test -bench ./... does not. Here's what it does:

$ go test -bench ./...
?   	bitbucket.org/lsheehan/fp-in-go	[no test files]

I can, however, move into the directory that contains the tests and get good results from the benchmark test:

... chapter1/fib $ go test -bench=.
1
BenchmarkFibFunc-8   	100
10000
1000000
3000000
 3000000	       570 ns/op
PASS
ok  	bitbucket.org/lsheehan/fp-in-go/chapter1/fib	5.100s

This is working as intended.

-bench takes an argument, a regex to match against benchmarks in the _test.go files.

Your non working example passes ./... as that regex which doesn't match anything and will only run in the current directory.

try

go test -bench=.  ./...

Yup. Works like a charm when called properly. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with articles like: https://dave.cheney.net/2013/06/30/how-to-write-benchmarks-in-go
