What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.11.4 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

  1. Create foo/main.go somewhere outside GOPATH:
package main

func main() {

}
  1. cd to that directory and run go list.

What did you expect to see?

The full absolute path to the directory:

C:/Users/User/foo

What did you see instead?

The full absolute path to the directory mangled:

_/C_/Users/User/foo

This is actually the valid output

// dirToImportPath returns the pseudo-import path we use for a package
// outside the Go path. It begins with _/ and then contains the full path
// to the directory. If the package lives in c:\home\gopher\my\pkg then
// the pseudo-import path is _/c_/home/gopher/my/pkg.
// Using a pseudo-import path like this makes the ./ imports no longer
// a special case, so that all the code to deal with ordinary imports works
// automatically.
func dirToImportPath(dir string) string {
	return pathpkg.Join("_", strings.Map(makeImportValid, filepath.ToSlash(dir)))
}

In GOPATH mode you cannot import things that reside outside of GOPATH (except, perhaps, as relative imports). So it shouldn't really matter what the actual import path is: it only shows up in a few places (e.g. reflect).

In module mode, the go.mod file in (a parent of) the current directory defines its import path.
Given that, I don't think this is worth changing at this point.

The only reason I saw this was accidently placing something outside GOPATH that isn't a module and having errors in vscode-go due to the output of go list. It's your call whether you actually care about this or not...
