What did you do?

We have three files:

// go.mod
module gotest_problem

go 1.17

// pkg/example/x.go
package example

func CountToN(N int) int {
	i := 0
	for i < N {
		i++
	}

	return i
}

// pkg/example/x_test.go
package example_test

import (
	// "fmt"
	"testing"

	x "gotest_problem/pkg/example"
)

func TestCountToN(t *testing.T) {
	want := 1234
	if got := x.CountToN(want); got != want {
		t.Errorf("Expected %d, got %d instead", want, got)
	}
}

// func ExampleCountToN() {
//	r := x.CountToN(1234)
//
//	fmt.Println(r)
//	// Output: 1234
// }

func BenchmarkCountToN(b *testing.B) {
	x.CountToN(1234)
}

I executed the following: go test -json -shuffle off -bench '.+' -count 1 ./pkg/example

What did you expect to see?

A series of events in JSON format whose Test property shows the name of the test/benchmark/example being executed. The benchmark should emit events bearing the field "Test": "BenchmarkCountToN".

What did you see instead?

The events corresponding to the benchmark are marked with the name of the preceding test (here: "Test": "TestCountToN").

$ go test -json -shuffle off -bench '.+' -count 1 ./pkg/example

Uncommenting the fmt import and ExampleCountToN in pkg/example/x_test.go causes the benchmark events to be annotated as "Test": "ExampleCountToN":

Deleting TestCountToN and ExampleCountToN and leaving only the benchmark causes the "Test" field to disappear from the output entirely:

It appears that the Test field of the event struct is not populated at all for benchmarks, and the printer uses its last set value if one is available.

I think this is pretty straightforward to fix for the typical case of a benchmark that produces no output.

If we see a --- PASS: TestCountToN line at the top level, I think we can assume that the output that follows does not belong with that test, although there are some old test outputs in cmd/internal/test2json/testdata (dating to Go 1.10) that violate that.

I suppose we need to figure out how and why those testdata outputs are structured that way.

For future reference, here is a cmd/go test script that reproduces the above bug:

# Regression test for https://golang.org/issue/49505:
# 'go test -json' should not report benchmark output as test output.

go test -json -shuffle=off -bench=. -run='^Test' ./pkg/example

	return i
}

	if got := x.CountToN(want); got != want {
		t.Errorf("Expected %d, got %d instead", want, got)
	}
}

func ExampleCountToN() {
	r := x.CountToN(1234)
	fmt.Println(r)

	// Output: 1234
}

func BenchmarkCountToN(b *testing.B) {
	x.CountToN(1234)
}

Change https://go.dev/cl/443596 mentions this issue: testing: fix many test2json inaccuracies

Test2json is parsing the output stream from the test, which includes package testing's own framing lines intermingled with other output, in particular any output printed via fmt.Printf, println, and so on. We have had recurring problems with unexpected partial output lines causing a framing line to be missed. A recent talk at GopherCon gave an example of an integration test involving Docker that happened to print \r-terminated lines instead of \n-terminated lines in some configurations, which in turn broke test2json badly. (https://www.gophercon.com/agenda/session/944259) There are also a variety of open reported issues with similar problems, which this CL also addresses. The general approach is to add a new testing flag -test.v=json that means to print additional output to help test2json. And then test2json takes advantage of that output. Among the fixes: - Identify testing framing more reliably, using ^V (golang#23036, golang#26325, golang#43683, GopherCon talk) - Test that output with \r\n endings is handled correctly (golang#43683, golang#34286) - Use === RUN in fuzz tests (golang#52636, golang#48132) - Add === RUN lines to note benchmark starts (golang#27764, golang#49505) - Print subtest --- PASS/FAIL lines as they happen (golang#29811) - Add === NAME lines to emit more test change events, such as when a subtest stops and the parent continues running. - Fix event shown in overall test failure (golang#27568) - Avoid interleaving of writes to os.Stdout and os.Stderr (golang#33419) Fixes golang#23036. Fixes golang#26325. Fixes golang#27568. Fixes golang#27764. Fixes golang#29811. Fixes golang#33419. Fixes golang#34286. Fixes golang#43683. Fixes golang#49505. Fixes golang#52636.
