Goimports fixes foo_test.go, but not sibling foo.go

I just started working with goimports directly today, instead of relying on editor (Zed) extensions/gopls. In the editor, an import is correctly resolved, but on the command line it’s not.

I loosely have this file structure, and I want goimports to examine rename.go (package rename) and add an import for package subcmd:

+ subcmd
  - inference.go
  - inference_test.go
  + rename
    - rename.go
    - rename_test.go
  - subcmd.go
  - subcmd_test.go

goimports -d rename.go gives me nothing, but goimports -d rename_test.go does what I’d expect:

diff -u ./subcmd/rename/rename_test.go.orig ./subcmd/rename/rename_test.go
--- ./subcmd/rename/rename_test.go.orig	2024-05-14 04:09:21

 func TestRename(t *testing.T) {
 	type cg subcmd.ColGroup

rename_test.go is a part of package rename, also.

When I run goimports -d -v rename.go I can see a message about fixing rename.go, but it comes at the very beginning, and from what I can tell, before goimports has found anything to export:

% goimports -d -v ./subcmd/rename/rename.go

Can anyone see what’s going on, what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

I figured it out. My project is in a bad state after manually trying to shift some packages around.

rename.go needs subcmd.ErrNoData, but subcmd doesn’t export that var; it does have errNoData, though. So, need to go through and fix some exports.
