What did you do?
I followed "How to Write Go Code" manual, "Testing" section. The manual says:
Add a test to the morestrings package by creating the file $HOME/hello/morestrings/reverse_test.go containing the following Go code.
...
Then run the test with go test:
$ go test
PASS
ok example.com/user/morestrings 0.165s
$
However, go test doesn't work for the top folder:
$ go test
? example.com/user/hello [no test files]
$ pwd
/Users/user/src/hello
$ tree
.
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
├── hello
├── hello.go
└── morestrings
├── reverse.go
└── reverse_test.go
What did you expect to see?
I expected go test to find tests in morestrings automatically. Alternatively, the manual should suggest one of:
go test ./morestringsgo test ./...cd morestrings; go test
