Making go-vet and go-test ignore vendor directory

[anoopengineer]

Is it currently possible to ignore the code in the $PROJECT-DIR/vendor directory? I do not want the code in vendor directory to be vetted or the tests in that directory run.

I see that MAIN_DIRS_EXCLUDE_DEFAULT constant already has the vendor directory added, but I still see the vet and test tasks run over this directory.

Hi there. I have been working on another project to handle this in a generic way.

I'll do the work to merge it in soon, then let you know.

May be useful: the Glide package manager has a novendor command that gives a list of packages, excluding the vendor directory.

Hey there. Sorry, I did the work for this but haven't found time to merge it into this project. It wouldn't take long. Here is the separate project which can list packages excluding vendor dir. https://github.com/laher/gols

Given that this project is in 'maintenance mode', I'd like to just leave this here for someone to add in, should they still want this feature. Just send a PR and I'll merge it in.

Closing with above recommendation. Sorry!
