  "github_readme_excerpt": "# gotestsum\n\n`gotestsum` runs tests using `go test -json`, prints formatted test output, and a summary of the test run.\nIt is designed to work well for both local development, and for automation like CI.\n`gotestsum` is [used by](#who-uses-gotestsum) some of the most popular Go projects.\n\n## Install\n\nDownload a binary from [releases](https://github.com/gotestyourself/gotestsum/releases), or build from\nsource with `go install gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest`. To run without installing use\n`go run gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest`.\n\n## Documentation\n\n**Core features**\n- Change the [test output format](#output-format), from compact to verbose with color highlighting.\n- Print a [summary](#summary) of the test run after running all the tests.\n- Use any [`go test` flag](#custom-go-test-command),\n  run a script with [`--raw-command`](#custom-go-test-command),\n  or [run a compiled test binary](#executing-a-compiled-test-binary).\n\n**CI and Automation**\n- [`--junitfile`](#junit-xml-output) - write a JUnit XML file for integration with CI systems.\n- [`--jsonfile`](#json-file-output) - write all the [test2json](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/test2json) input received by `gotestsum` to a file. The file\n  can be used as input to [`gotestsum tool slowest`](#finding-and-skipping-slow-tests), or as a way to\n  store the full verbose output of tests when less verbose output is printed to stdout using a compact [`--format`](#output-format).\n- [`--rerun-fails`](#re-running-failed-tests) - run failed (possibly flaky) tests again to avoid re-running the\n  entire suite. Re-running individual tests can save significant time when working with flaky test suites.\n\n**Local Development**\n- [`--watch`](#run-tests-when-a-file-is-saved) - every time a `.go` file is saved run the tests for the package that changed.\n- [`--post-run-command`](#post-run-command) - run a command after the tests, can be used for desktop notification of the test run.\n- [`gotestsum tool slowest`](#finding-and-skipping-slow-tests) - find ",
