Lightning Talk: Fake it Until You Make it: Unit Tests with Go-Client Fake Client
summary
Shows how to use the client-go Fake Client (the object-tracker-backed fake that implements the clientset interface) to unit test Kubernetes calls. Walks through a concrete getSecrets function that returns a map of secretName → key/value pairs, programmatically creates two secrets on the fake.Clientset, calls the function, and asserts specific values. Includes runnable code and a GitHub link so tests actually run and verify behavior.
