Thanks Richard, that allowed me to replace a hand rolled universe scope 👍
My importer varies from yours in that for correct lookups for versioned packages or those with '-' in I had to copy ImportPathToAssumedName from x/tools/internal/imports/fix.go. func simpleImporter(imports map[string]*ast.Object, path string) (*ast.Object, error) { pkg := imports[path] if pkg == nil { pkg = ast.NewObj(ast.Pkg, ImportPathToAssumedName(path)) pkg.Data = ast.NewScope(nil) // required by ast.NewPackage for dot-import imports[path] = pkg } return pkg, nil } This now works for all cases which don't import external packages. So now I just need to do the on demand load of packages, which I suspect will lead me right back to packages.Load.
