What did you do?

go.mod:

module x

go 1.14

main.go:

package main

main_test.go:

package main

import (
	"testing"
	"x/test"
)

func TestX(t *testing.T) {
	var x test.TEvent
	if x != 0 {
		t.Error("Not 0")
	}
}

test/common_test.go

package test

type TEvent int

test/hack.go:

package test

// Workaround for "no non-test Go files in x/test"

What did you expect to see?

I expected the tests to compile

What did you see instead?

# x [x.test]
./main_test.go:9:8: undefined: test.TEvent
FAIL	x [build failed]

The underlying issue is when testing package A only the files in that package are compiled in testing mode--files ending in _test.go are included in the scope. In your case package test is imported, but common_test.go is not part of the import set because package test is not compiled in test mode.

nb. I say package A rather than package main because this is not specific to package main.

This is working as designed, although perhaps not how you intended. Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and proposals only.
