What did you do?

write a package:

package govetbug

import (
        assert "github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
        "testing"
)

func TestRandomMergeMapBadRatio(t *testing.T) {
        BadRatio := 1
        var err error
        assert.Error(t, err, "Given bad ratio %d not in range (0,100) but function not fail", BadRatio)
}

then run go vet ./...

What did you expect to see?

main.go:11: possible formatting directive in Error call
exit status 1

What did you see instead?

got empty output.

Then if I run

go install .
go vet ./...

it produces expected error output.

Remove /Users/hvn/FOSS/gomeo/godeps/pkg, run go vet ./..., got empty output again.

This is for all practical matters a duplicate of #16086. Go vet relies on existing installed packages, even if they are out of date. Closing.
