Example-type Tests: how to represent nil output?

Getting Help
1

When I run this Example test below using
go test -timeout 30s -tags -run ^ExampleNewSettings$

func ExampleNewSettings() {
	s := NewSettings()
	s.Set("FontName", "Manlo")
	s.Set("FontSize", 12)
	s.Set("FontColor", color.Black)
	fmt.Println(s.Get("FontName"))
	fmt.Println(s.Get("FontSize"))
	fmt.Println(s.Get("FontColor"))
	fmt.Println(s.Get("notfound"))
	//Output:
	//Manlo
	//12
	//color.Black
	//<nil>
}

The test fails no matter how I represent the nil return from the last Println. go test produces

– FAIL: ExampleNewSettings (0.00s)
got:
Manlo true
12 true
{0} true
<nil> false want: Manlo 12 color.Black
FAIL
exit status 1

Is there a way of representing a nil output?

Thanks,

Your expected output bears little resemblance to the actual output. Are you sure the nil is the problem?
