Incompatibility with 'go fmt' in loading files

[Freeaqingme]

My Makefile used to say do this:

 .PHONY: fmt
 fmt:
       go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
       ./bin/goimports -w .
       go fmt ./...

I've now substituted that by:

 .PHONY: fmt
 fmt:
       go get mvdan.cc/gofumpt
       go get mvdan.cc/gofumpt/gofumports
       ./bin/gofumports -w .
       ./bin/gofumpt  ./...

When I run make fmt, I get this output:

$ make fmt
go get mvdan.cc/gofumpt
go: finding mvdan.cc/gofumpt latest
go get mvdan.cc/gofumpt/gofumports
go: finding mvdan.cc/gofumpt/gofumports latest
go: finding mvdan.cc/gofumpt latest
./bin/gofumports -w .
./bin/gofumpt  ./...
stat ./...: no such file or directory
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'fmt' failed
make: *** [fmt] Error 2

It appears however as if gofumpt did reformat quite a bunch of files nonetheless, but still it should not generate an error.

Perhaps the README is unclear - this is a gofmt replacement, not a go fmt replacement. go fmt works on packages, while gofmt works on files and directories.

A drop-in replacement for go fmt would be quite a lot of work, as I'd have to copy a huge chunk of code from the go tool. It's also a bit unnecessary, because I believe that go fmt ends up calling gofmt under the hood.

You likely want to do gofumpt -w . instead just like you do with goimports. Note that running the two tools is a bit redundant, though - gofumports -w . should be everything you need.

Thanks for clarifying. '-w .' works just fine indeed :)
