gotests fails to be installed

[eraserix]

What version of Go, VS Code & VS Code Go extension are you using?

% go version
go version go1.12.14 linux/amd64

Describe the bug

When trying to install gotests, I always get an error:
go get github.com/cweill/gotests/...: no matching versions for query "latest"

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. mkdir -p /tmp/tmpmod

2. echo module tmpmod > /tmp/tmpmod/go.mod

3. cd /tmp/tmpmod

4. env GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v "github.com/cweill/gotests/..."
go: finding github.com/cweill/gotests/... latest
Fetching https://github.com?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from https://github.com?go-get=1 (status code 200)
go get github.com/cweill/gotests/...: no matching versions for query "latest"

5. Or alternatively via goproxy:
   env GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v "github.com/cweill/gotests/..."
Fetching https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/cweill/gotests/@v/list
Fetching https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/cweill/@v/list
Fetching https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/@v/list
go get github.com/cweill/gotests/...: malformed module path "github.com/cweill/gotests/...": double dot

What seems to works

I think the problem is caused by a combination of "..." in the path and modules support. Explicitly specifying the binary gotests works:

% env GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v "github.com/cweill/gotests/gotests"
Fetching https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/cweill/gotests/gotests/@v/list

Thanks for reporting @eraserix

@stamblerre Can you take a look at this? It might be related to the changes we made around the tool installation code.

[stamblerre]

I believe that in the extension we explicitly excluded gotests from being installed in module mode because the Go command did not yet support the ./... wildcard in 1.13. @eraserix: Does it work if you install gotests through the VS Code extension?

[eraserix]

Yeah, right: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-go/blob/0.11.9/src/goInstallTools.ts#L145

I checked again on another computer with another version of go (1.13.5).

When I ONLY select gotests for installation, gotests gets installed, but vscode never notices that gotests has been installed and just seems to hang (but ~/go/bin/gotests is there)

If I select another go tool AFTER gotests (say golint), both utilities are installed successfully.

I'll check again what error I get from vscode next week.

[stamblerre]

I bet this line is the culprit for VS Code hanging. It should be the check that is here instead. Probably because we never create a go.mod file in the case of a single tool installation, so the go mod tidy must hang or fail when there is no go.mod file. I'll send a fix for this.

[ramya-rao-a]

The fix for this should be available in the latest beta version of this extension. Please try it out and let us know how it goes

The results with go 1.12.14 and go extension 0.11.10-beta.5:

Installing gotests alone works.
Installing gotests as the last selection hangs (gorename + gotests)
Installing gotests as first selection fails (gotests + gomodifytags):

Installing 2 tools at /home/redacted/go/bin in module mode.
  gotests
  gomodifytags

Installing github.com/cweill/gotests/... FAILED

[stamblerre]

Thanks for trying again! It seems to be something specific to Go 1.12, and I was able to reproduce when I checked out that version. Even though this isn't an issue with Go 1.13, I mailed a PR that I think solves the problem.

@eraserix Can you try again with the latest beta version that has the recent fixes
