Hi @mirza-s,

I can confirm this output change locally:

# vet.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println(a)
}
$ go1.12 vet ./vet.go
# command-line-arguments [command-line-arguments.test]
./vet.go:6:14: undefined: a

$ go vet ./vet.go
# command-line-arguments
vet: ./vet.go:6:14: undeclared name: a

$ go build ~/vet.go 
# command-line-arguments
./vet.go:6:14: undefined: a

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug.

/cc @rsc, @josharian and @bradfitz, who have context on the CLs for #31916

This adds vet as a check in `make check`. Additionally, it moves
the run of vet in `make test` and `make manager` to after the build.
I wanted to remove it entirely from that line but decided not to make
such a big change. Vet needs to run after compile because it prints
a 'vet: ' prefix on compile errors [1], and this messes up tools -
specifically my vim quickfix. Doing the build first makes you fix
real compiler errors and then real vet errors found afterward get
emitted without the annoying prefix.
