I'm experiencing some confusing behavior when trying to use the -modfile flag with go run -- it appears that -modfile is not being honored, though I have not ruled out an error on my side.

Context: in CL 383375, patchset 2, I am trying to use x/tools for the copytermlist.go script (used by go generate), but don't want to add an x/tools dependency to the module. I was planning to manage this additional dependency in a go.tools.mod file.

The -modfile flag appears not to work, even though copying over go.mod and go.sum does work.

> go run -modfile=go.tools.mod copytermlist.go
copytermlist.go:25:2: no required module provides package golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil; to add it:
        go get golang.org/x/tools/go/ast/astutil
> cat go.tools.mod
module golang.org/x/exp/typeparams

go 1.18

require golang.org/x/tools v0.1.9 // indirect
> cp go.tools.mod go.mod && cp go.tools.sum go.sum
> go run copytermlist.go
>

This doesn't match my mental model for how -modfile behaves.

I'm not able to reproduce this failure mode from PS2 of that CL.

I'm not sure what to make of that, but at this point I don't have any other ideas about how it might have gone wrong. I did try setting GOFLAGS=-modfile=/dev/null, but the explicit -modfile flag overrode that too.

Is it possible that there was some kind of bad interaction with an IDE overlay, or a delayed file write? (Did you execute the command directly on the command line?)

Timed out in state WaitingForInfo. Closing.

(I am just a bot, though. Please speak up if this is a mistake or you have the requested information.)
