Replace go-github-mock with stretchr/testify for actions/issues/projects tests #1737

Copilot · 2026-01-05T10:10:45Z

Summary

Migrates remaining tests toward the shared MockHTTPClientWithHandlers pattern.
Updates docs and licenses

Closes #1492

Why

To reduce number of dependencies.

What changed

Replaced custom helper with direct MockHTTPClientWithHandlers usage in Actions tests and aligned endpoints (including rerun/rerun-failed-jobs and cancel).
Restored required go-github-mock imports for Issues/Projects tests and added a minimal githubv4 mock helper alias so GraphQL tests compile.
Added the missing GetReposActionsRunsByOwnerByRepo test constant and reran lint/tests to ensure green.

@copilot No, don't create new WithRequestMatchHandler and WithRequestMatch. Follow the pattern from other tests, for example git_test.go

+func newMockedHTTPClient(handlers map[string]http.HandlerFunc) *http.Client {


@copilot remove it, create new MockHTTPClientWithHandlers by creating a new instance just as other tests do

Pull request overview

This PR migrates Actions, Issues, and Projects tests from the migueleliasweb/go-github-mock library to the shared MockHTTPClientWithHandlers pattern used in other test files. The migration aims to standardize mock HTTP client usage across the test suite.

Key changes:

Replaced go-github-mock with MockHTTPClientWithHandlers for REST API mocking in three test files
Removed the go-github-mock import dependency from affected test files
Updated helper_test.go endpoint constant for sub-issue deletion (changed from plural to singular)

Critical Issues Found:

⚠️ 3 instances of undefined function githubv4MockHTTPClientWithHandlers in issues_test.go (lines 1428, 1451, 1739)
⚠️ 1 missing constant GetReposActionsRunsByOwnerByRepo in actions_test.go (line 1971)

pkg/github/actions_test.go	Migrated all REST mock setups from go-github-mock to MockHTTPClientWithHandlers; uses new endpoint constants but references undefined constant GetReposActionsRunsByOwnerByRepo
pkg/github/issues_test.go	Migrated REST mock setups to MockHTTPClientWithHandlers; introduces undefined helper function githubv4MockHTTPClientWithHandlers for GraphQL mocks
pkg/github/projects_test.go	Consistently replaced all go-github-mock instances with MockHTTPClientWithHandlers for empty handler maps in error test cases
pkg/github/helper_test.go	Fixed DeleteReposIssuesSubIssueByOwnerByRepoByIssueNumber endpoint constant from plural "sub_issues" to singular "sub_issue"
