NOTE: This repository is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Its original contents are now part of the Azure SDK for Goand a new package for Blobs is available from github.com/Azure/azure-storage-blob-go. For more information, see Azure/azure-sdk-for-go#597.

The github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/storage package is used to perform REST operations against the Azure Storage Service. To manage your storage accounts (Azure Resource Manager / ARM), use the github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/storage package. For your classic storage accounts (Azure Service Management / ASM), use github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/management/storageservice package.

This package includes support for Azure Storage Emulator

1. go get -u github.com/Azure/azure-storage-go
2. Add the following import statement into any Go source file that will reference Azure Storage: import storage github.com/Azure/azure-storage-go
3. If you don't already have one, create a Storage Account.
   • Take note of your Azure Storage Account Name and Azure Storage Account Key. They'll both be necessary for using this library.
   • This option is production ready, but can also be used for development.
4. (Optional, Windows only) Download and start the Azure Storage Emulator.
5. Checkout our existing samples.

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact [email protected] with any additional questions or comments.

When contributing, please conform to the following practices:

• Target the 'dev' branch. This practice ensures that go get retreives more stable bits.
• Run gofmt to use standard go formatting.
• Run golint to conform to standard naming conventions.
• Run go vet to catch common Go mistakes.
• Use GoASTScanner/gas to ensure there are no common security violations in your contribution.
• Run go test to catch possible bugs in the code.
  • This project uses HTTP recordings for testing.
  • The recorder should be attached to the client before calling the functions to test and later stopped.

func (s *StorageQueueSuite) TestQueueExists(c *chk.C) {
cli := getQueueClient(c)
rec := cli.client.appendRecorder(c)
defer rec.Stop()

queue1 := cli.GetQueueReference(queueName(c, "nonexistent"))
ok, err := queue1.Exists()
c.Assert(err, chk.IsNil)
c.Assert(ok, chk.Equals, false)

queue2 := cli.GetQueueReference(queueName(c, "exisiting"))
c.Assert(queue2.Create(nil), chk.IsNil)
defer queue2.Delete(nil)

ok, err = queue2.Exists()
c.Assert(err, chk.IsNil)
c.Assert(ok, chk.Equals, true)
}

• Important note: all HTTP requests in the recording must be unique: different bodies, headers (User-Agent, Authorization and Date or x-ms-date headers are ignored), URLs and methods. As opposed to the example above, the following test is not suitable for recording:

func (s *StorageQueueSuite) TestQueueExists(c *chk.C) {
cli := getQueueClient(c)
rec := cli.client.appendRecorder(c)
defer rec.Stop()

queue := cli.GetQueueReference(queueName(c))
ok, err := queue.Exists()
c.Assert(err, chk.IsNil)
c.Assert(ok, chk.Equals, false)

c.Assert(queue.Create(nil), chk.IsNil)
defer queue.Delete(nil)

ok, err = queue.Exists() // This is the very same request as the one 5 line above
// The test replayer gets confused and the test fails in the last line
c.Assert(err, chk.IsNil)
c.Assert(ok, chk.Equals, true)
}
