Mattermost is migrating its server tests from using the t.Fatal method calls on their checks to use the testify toolkit. The goal of this migration is to improve the readability of the tests, making them more concise and meaningful. This Help Wanted issue is to migrate the tests in the config/unmarshal_test.go file.
The expected way to migrate this is to go to the config/unmarshal_test.go file and modify the calls to t.Fatal and the condition checks that lead to them, replacing them with calls to the the require package if a failure should stop the execution of the test, or the assert package if it shouldn't.
Example: mattermost/mattermost-server#12039

Do you prefer a require.True assertion on the boolean value for ok:
require.Truef(t, ok, "TeamSettings is missing from envConfig")
or would a direct call to Fail be cleaner, since we've already evaluated the bool:
require.Fail(t, "TeamSettings is missing from envConfig")
Went with require.Fail
Went with
require.Fail
Good decision, this is much cleaner :+1:
