go-test-trace is like go test but it also generates distributed traces.

Overview

go-test-trace

CircleCI

go-test-trace is like go test but it also generates distributed traces.

Generated traces are exported in OTLP to a OpenTelemetry collector. You need to run go-test-trace alongside a collector to export data to distributed tracing service.

Honeycomb

Installation

go get -u github.com/rakyll/go-test-trace

Usage

You can use go-test-trace as a drop-in replacement for go test. The following example will generate a distributed trace and export it to a collector available at "127.0.0.1:55680".

$ go-test-trace ./example
=== RUN   TestStart
--- PASS: TestStart (0.50s)
=== RUN   TestStartWithOptions
--- PASS: TestStartWithOptions (1.00s)
=== RUN   TestFileParser
--- FAIL: TestFileParser (0.30s)
=== RUN   TestLoading
=== PAUSE TestLoading
=== RUN   TestLoading_abort
=== PAUSE TestLoading_abort
=== RUN   TestLoading_interrupt
=== PAUSE TestLoading_interrupt
=== CONT  TestLoading
=== CONT  TestLoading_abort
=== CONT  TestLoading_interrupt
--- PASS: TestLoading_interrupt (0.08s)
--- PASS: TestLoading (1.00s)
--- PASS: TestLoading_abort (2.50s)
FAIL
FAIL	github.com/rakyll/go-test-trace/example	4.823s
exit status 1
make: *** [default] Error 1

Alternatively, you can use -stdin option to parse the output of go test. This option won't be as accurate in terms of timestamps because it will generate trace spans as it sees output in stdin.

$ go test -v ./example | go-test-trace -stdin

You can export to any collector by using the endpoint flag:

$ go-test-trace ./example -endpoint=my-otel-collector.io:9090

You can make the go-test-trace to participate into an existing trace with the traceparent flag.

$ go-test-trace ./example -traceparent=00-0af7651916cd43dd8448eb211c80319c-b7ad6b7169203331-01

Running the collector

An example collector configuration is available at example/collector.yaml. It exports to Honeycomb but you can choose to any other destination by changing the configuration. Please edit the write key and data set with your details from Honeycomb before using it.

Then, you can run the collector locally by the following command and export the traces to Honeycomb:

$ docker run --rm -p 4317:4317 -p 55680:55680 -p 8888:8888 \
    -v "${PWD}/example/collector.yaml":/collector.yaml \
    --name awscollector public.ecr.aws/aws-observability/aws-otel-collector:latest \
    --config collector.yaml;

You can use any configuration supported by ADOT or export to any other OpenTelemetry collector.

Comments
  • Rely on supported env variables if no endpoint is specified

    Rely on supported env variables if no endpoint is specified

    This allows using the environment variables provided by OpenTelemetry to configure the OTLP exporter instead of the collector. Example:

    OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://api.honeycomb.io:443 OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS=x-honeycomb-team=foobar go-test-trace ./...

  • Skip pass actions if no test name is present

    Skip pass actions if no test name is present

    Thanks for releasing this, I'm looking forward to getting traces set up for tests in my projects! This PR just addresses a few minor issues I had getting started:

    • Updated the examples in the README to put the go-test-trace flags before the arguments for go test
    • Fixes an issue where the decoder goroutine would exit early after a package where all the tests pass. The output from go test in that case looks like {"Time":"2021-10-07T15:05:01.541387-05:00","Action":"pass","Package":"github.com/example/package","Elapsed":0.023} and it would return after failing to find the empty string in collectedSpans

    Currently, go-test-trace propagates the global context to go test via TRACE_CONTEXT environmental variable, but this feature is not documented and it's not clear what the limitations are.

  • Link the collector to go-test-trace

    Link the collector to go-test-trace

    Currently, go-test-trace requires a standalone collector running to export spans. We can also link the collector into the go-test-trace binary to optionally allow users to run the collector as a part of the go-test-trace binary. This option will make it much easier to run the tool locally.
