Since the CLI parsing sets global variables which affect how your code
operates, you can just set those variables directly in your test functions.
func TestWithDots(t *testing.T) {
noDotsFlag = false
...
}
func TestWithNoDots(t *testing.T) {
noDotsFlag = true
...
}
On Saturday,
thank you

The testing package documentation mentions this case explicitly:
https://pkg.go.dev/testing#hdr-Main
In short, you can define a main function (called TestMain) for your test
package and call flag.Parse from there.

A related issue:
Now that I can run go test and it's running, how do I define the flag.
Currently, I define it in main(), and also the flag.Parse() is in main().
But main() is not run in go test, so I tried putting flag.BoolVar() and
flag.Parse() in an init() function, but that doesn''t work
Looks like I didn't copy everything I have to the playground. But I do
have the correct imports and the top statement, package main.
Thank you for answering, that's working.

Your code is incomplete (it's missing all the imports), and "go test"
doesn't run your main() function anyway, so it's not going to parse the
flags.
But otherwise I think it would be something like this: (single dash, -args
not --args)
go test . -v -args - -dots
