It looks like you're testing a top level command. You might want to
consider using the testscript package, which provides a very concise way of
end-to-end testing this kind of thing.
e.g.
mycommand -h
cmp stdout expect-stdout
-- expect-stdout --
Expected output
See https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/rogpeppe/go-internal/testscript for more
details.
