`go test` will build all the requested packages in the process of testing them. It will build a package even if it has no tests. That is presumably where your run is failing. I suppose you could consider building a package to be a minimal form of testing it. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
