The key here is to understand that the go tool works with import paths, not files or directories. This statement isn't absolutely true as there are many inconsistencies that water down this statement, but if you're ever stuck about how to do something with the Go tool, think about "how do I import this code into my package". For example, you want to access the symbols in the crypto/tls package, you write
import "crypto/tls" If you want to test the code in the crypto/tls package, you run go test crypto/tls Obviously the go tool can work with directories; for example go test ./internal/foo Which says "assuming that the current directory is imported as x/y/x, run the tests of package x/y/x/internal/foo", but that introduces confusing ideas like relative import paths, a wish that symlinks worked (they don't), and so on. So if you're stuck, try to think about using the go tool in the same way you import a piece of code into your package.
