How to write tests for Magefiles?

[mloskot]

I'd like to learn how to test the Go code written into my Magefiles.

Do I add a test as <magefile>_test.go and use go test as for any other Go application?
Are there any Mage-specific limitations or requirements?

I have some examples. I primarily use the examples test feature since it's integration style code when working with mage.

Maybe this will help you.

Take a peek at some of the tests. They are slow but work well to document and confirm basic testing functionality.
