This Go-related utility allows you to filter out folders from commandline 'wildcards' such as ./...
go-ls was created with the go '/vendor/' folder in mind, in combination with tools like go test
go-ls can be used on the commandline, or alternatively you can build its functionality into your own package.
For library usage docs, see http://godoc.org/github.com/laher/gols
Note that go-ls is simply a wrapper which Exec's go list. You can use it to feed the output into tools such as go test, go install, etc.
Because lazy.
The use of /vendor/ folders has affected the use of ./... wildcards in go commands.
The Go team recommend the following approach to ignoring this folder:
go install $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/)
gols is basically a more convenient way to do the same thing
See bug report golang/go#11659 for background.
For example, to run tests while excluding the 'vendor' folder:
go-test ./...
To simply list the filtered packages:
go-ls ./...
Other options:
go-ls -exec="go test -v" ./...
go-ls -exec="go install" -ignore=/vendor/,/scripts/ ./...
go-ls -h
To install go-ls only:
go get github.com/laher/gols/cmd/go-ls
Note that the other tools all have the same functionality as go-ls. They just have different defaults for the -exec option.
To install ALL of these tools (go-ls, go-test, go-install):
go get github.com/laher/gols/cmd/...
OR you can just install any one of the other tools:
go get github.com/laher/gols/cmd/go-test
