Thanks for this explanation. I have looked into the go.sum and found an
mssql driver in there which was used in another package two levels above
where I was testing. The driver that was needed was mssql not mysql; which
was the reason why my first import of the mysql driver in the test file
didn't work. I have included the driver in my test file and it works.
But the question remains.. I was calling the same functions to open a
connection in my test file.. Why couldn't that function use the
dependencies same way it was using it when not testing?
Thanks again Axel
