In go, such fake implementations cannot be generated\nautomatically at runtime, and writing them by hand can be quite arduous.\n\n`counterfeiter` allows you to simply generate test doubles for a given interface.\n\n### Supported Versions Of `go`\n\n`counterfeiter` follows the [support policy of `go` itself](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy):\n\n\u003e Each major Go release is supported until there are two newer major releases. For example, Go 1.5 was supported until the Go 1.7 release, and Go 1.6 was supported until the Go 1.8 release. We fix critical problems, including [critical security problems](https://golang.org/security), in supported releases as needed by issuing minor revisions (for example, Go 1.6.1, Go 1.6.2, and so on).\n\nIf you are having problems with `counterfeiter` and are not using a supported version of go, please update to use a supported version of go before opening an issue.\n\n### Using `counterfeiter`\n\n\u26a0\ufe0f Please use [`go modules`](https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules) when working with counterfeiter.\n\nTypically, `counterfeiter` is used in `go generate` directives. It can be frustrating when you change your interface declaration and suddenly all of your generated code is suddenly out-of-date. The best practice here is to use the [`go generate` command](https://blog.golang.org/generate) to make it easier to keep your test doubles up t",
