My main acts just like a mini bootstrap to do as less as possible and hand
the real action over to start.Run()
But is is still testable.
```
var mainRunner = runner
/* -------------------------- Methods/Functions ---------------------- */
// runner starts the application and can be overwritten in a test for
mocking.
func runner() error {
return start.Run() //nolint:wrapcheck // not needed here
}
/*
main is the bootstrap of the application.
*/
func main() {
err := mainRunner()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:\n", libErrors.GetError(err))
}
}
```
In an internal test, the mainRunner is mocked and can emulate an error if
needed.
func Test_Main_Error(t *testing.T) {
mainRunner = func() error {
return errors.New("test error")
}
defer func() {
mainRunner = runner
}()
captured := libCapture.Direct(func() {
main()
})
assert.Contains(t, captured, "test error")
}
