Re: [go-nuts] Go test to run over sub packages?

[gabriel . kopley]

Is `$ go test github.com/foo/proj/...` 

 really 
supposed to work?

When I run it I get

warning: "github.com/foo/proj/..." matched no packages
no packages to test

But `cd src/github.com/foo/proj && go test ./...` does work as suggested.

Hi Ian, thanks for the confirmation!

It turns out that the cause of this behavior is that I had followed the 
instructions at 
https://github.com/karlseguin/the-little-go-book/blob/9f95b4405760fe9d24d4f9b7da93889cc9306f58/en/go.md#getting-started
 
and
symlinked thus: `$ ln -s ~/code/golang-workspace/src/github.com/foo/proj 
~/code/proj`

In a directory structure without the symlink, things work correctly :)

I'll file an issue on the Little Book of Go about this gotcha.

Gabe
