Go version

any

Output of go env in your module/workspace:

GOPATH=$(pwd)/.go

What did you do?

Run

go test ./... -cover -coverprofile=ut.cov -covermode=set -coverpkg=./...

What did you see happen?

ut.cov file is too large and has coverage profile for packages in GOPATH

What did you expect to see?

ut.cov containing coverage profile of all packages except the GOPATH

don't do that then?
