What did you do?

Create three local modules: M (main module, requiring and replacing the other two), A (module in a directory outside M), and B (module in a subdirectory of A).

Attempt to list a package in B using a relative or absolute file path.

cd m
go list ../a   # works
go list ../a/b # fails

-- m/go.mod --
module example.com/m

go 1.15

require (
	example.com/a v0.0.0
	example.com/b v0.0.0
)

replace (
	example.com/a v0.0.0 => ../a
	example.com/b v0.0.0 => ../a/b
)
-- a/go.mod --
module example.com/a
-- a/a.go --
package a
-- a/b/go.mod --
module example.com/b

go 1.15
-- a/b/b.go --
package b

What did you expect to see?

Package name is printed successfully:

example.com/a/b

What did you see instead?

$ go list ../a/b
no required module provides package example.com/a/b; try 'go get -d example.com/a/b' to add it

This is because ../a/b is interpreted as a relative package path rather than a relative file path, I think.

What should happen in the analogous situation where the module is located at ./a/b and the user runs go list ./a/b?
(https://play.golang.org/p/C3qTwKrW2vJ)
Should that also be interpreted as a file path?

What if the path includes a ... wildcard, such as ./a/b/... or ./a/... or ../a/... or ../a/b/...?

../a/b is being interpreted as a file path; the problem is with file paths into nested replacement modules in general. I get the same error with an absolute path.

Listing a package in example.com/a works:

$ go list ../a
example.com/a

The wildcard causes a different error, whether or not the module is in a nested replacement. This might be WAI though.

$ go list ../a/...
pattern ../a/...: directory /Users/jayconrod/Code/test/a is outside module root (/Users/jayconrod/Code/test/m)
$ go list ../a/b/...
pattern ../a/b/...: directory /Users/jayconrod/Code/test/a/b is outside module root (/Users/jayconrod/Code/test/m)

The context for this is this golang-nuts thread by the way.

This is in the Go1.18 milestone. Is it likely to happen for 1.18? Thanks.

@bcmills @matloob This issue is marked for 1.19. It's just been rolling forward in milestones. Should it move to Backlog?
