我有以下代码：

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

type twitterResult struct {
    Results []struct {
        Text     string `json:"text"`
        Ids      string `json:"id_str"`
        Name     string `json:"from_user_name"`
        Username string `json:"from_user"`
        UserId   string `json:"from_user_id_str"`
    }
}

var (
  twitterUrl = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23UCL"
  pauseDuration = 5 * time.Second
)

func retrieveTweets(c chan<- *twitterResult) {
    for {
        resp, err := http.Get(twitterUrl)
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }

        defer resp.Body.Close()
        body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
        r := new(twitterResult) //or &twitterResult{} which returns *twitterResult
        err = json.Unmarshal(body, &r)
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
        c <- r
        time.Sleep(pauseDuration)
    }

}

func displayTweets(c chan *twitterResult) {
    tweets := <-c
    for _, v := range tweets.Results {
        fmt.Printf("%v:%v\n", v.Username, v.Text)
    }

}

func main() {
    c := make(chan *twitterResult)
    go retrieveTweets(c)
    for {
        displayTweets(c)
    }

}

我想为它编写一些测试，但我不确定如何使用 httptest 包http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httptest/希望得到一些指点

我想出了这个（无耻地从 go OAuth https://code.google.com/p/goauth2/source/browse/oauth/oauth_test.go的测试中复制）：

var request = struct {
    path, query       string // request
    contenttype, body string // response
}{
    path:        "/search.json?",
    query:       "q=%23Kenya",
    contenttype: "application/json",
    body:        twitterResponse,
}

var (
    twitterResponse = `{ 'results': [{'text':'hello','id_str':'34455w4','from_user_name':'bob','from_user_id_str':'345424'}]}`
)

func TestRetrieveTweets(t *testing.T) {
    handler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

        w.Header().Set("Content-Type", request.contenttype)
        io.WriteString(w, request.body)
    }

    server := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(handler))
    defer server.Close()

    resp, err := http.Get(server.URL)
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Get: %v", err)
    }
    checkBody(t, resp, twitterResponse)
}

func checkBody(t *testing.T, r *http.Response, body string) {
    b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
    if err != nil {
        t.Error("reading reponse body: %v, want %q", err, body)
    }
    if g, w := string(b), body; g != w {
        t.Errorf("request body mismatch: got %q, want %q", g, w)
    }
}
