Go Mock Generator for VSCode

Go Mock Generator for VSCode is a Visual Studio Code extension that streamlines creating mocks for Go interfaces using mockgen. Generate mock files quickly while keeping your project’s package structure organized.

Key Features

• Automatically generates mocks for Go interfaces from the active or selected file.
• Saves mocks in /test/mocks while preserving the project’s package hierarchy.
• Supports files inside internal or src, ignoring these directories when generating mocks.
• Integrates directly into VSCode’s context menu (right-click in Explorer).

How to Use

1. Open a Go file containing interfaces.
2. Right-click the file in Explorer or the editor.
3. Select Go: Generate Mock with mockgen.
4. The mock file will be generated at /test/mocks/<package>/<file>_mock.go.

Requirements

• Go >= 1.20
• Visual Studio Code
• mockgen installed (you can install it with the following command):

go install github.com/golang/mock/mockgen@latest
