dlv: Compile a test binary and begin debugging the compiled program.

$ dlv test

try on your machine

The command "dlv test" refers to the usage of the "dlv" tool to run and debug tests written in Go programming language.

"dlv" is a debugger for Go programs that allows developers to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through their code to identify and fix issues. It provides a command-line interface to interact with the debugger.

When "dlv test" is executed, it builds and executes the tests in the current Go package using the debugger. This command enables developers to have more control over the testing process, allowing them to pause execution, examine variables, and track down bugs in their test code.

Using "dlv test" can be beneficial when dealing with complex test scenarios or when there is a need to debug test cases to identify problems or better understand the behavior of the code under test.
