How to build ast tree also for dependencies

Getting Help
1

Hello,

I’m building sort of linter for my go lang project and would like to find all the types implementing Close() method (so later on i can check either it is called). Project is module based.
I managed to do this for the code i own using token.NewFileSet, parser.ParseDir and ast.Walk.
The problem i have is how to parse also all the dependencies in order to scan types declarations there.

Would appreciate any help.

I recommend this package: packages package - golang.org/x/tools/go/packages - Go Packages

It lets you specify NeedImports in the Config.LoadMode so you can then load those packages (and keep going, recursively, if you want).
