Avoid stringer-related deadlocks without adding ISGOMOCK
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A deadlock related to controller calling Stringer on mocks themselves
was revealed in #116. #144 solved this deadlock by adding a generated
`ISGOMOCK()` method to all generated mocks, and then checking for it
before calling `.String()` on arguments.

This reveals an exported method on each generated mock that:
* Bloats the generated code
* Can be taken dependency on in strange ways via Hyrum's Law
* Technically opens up another route for naming collision.

This PR attempts to clean up this type of check by instead generating
an unexported field in generated mock structs instead, and checks for it using reflect.
This hides this implementation detail of gomock/mockgen better,
and produces less generated bloat.

This PR then regenerated all generated code for tests/example via `go generate`.

Note that, importantly, the regression test added in #144 still passes
with this PR.

Ref: #193
