The session below shows a repo containing a root module and a submodule, and a go.work file that uses both. The command go generate ./... within the submodule directory causes generators to run, but the command go generate ./sub/... from the root directory does nothing---this despite go list ./sub/... reporting the packages of the submodule.

ex$ cat go.work 
use ./sub
use .

ex$ cat go.mod
module example.com

go 1.19

ex$ ls sub
go.mod	sub.go

ex$ cat sub/go.mod
module example.com/sub

go 1.19

ex$ cat sub/sub.go
//go:generate echo hello

package sub

ex$ (cd sub && go generate ./...)
hello

ex$ go generate ./sub/...

I think this is a bug and that go generate ./sub/... should cause generators to run on all files of all directories of the packages that would be enumerated by go list ./sub/....

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Mar 1, 2023
This change establishes that "go generate ./..." from within the gopls
directory will update all generated code in the module to its
canonical version. (Beware that this command doesn't work in the
parent directory due to golang/go#58723.)

Details:

- The main 'generate' command now includes the canonical git ref
  name of the LSP protocol used by gopls, and by default it
  clones the repo at this version instead of using the version in
  pjw's home directory. ;-)
  It should deliver identical results for all users without setup.
  The "generated" comment includes an accurate URL.
  The timestamp is removed since it is nondeterministic.
- In addition to the commit hash, the output now reports the git
  ref (branch/tag) name, which is not the same as the
  metadata.version (LSP protocol version) string.
- The go:generate comments are now more prominent in their
  respective files. We hide several that appear in testdata from
  the go command by splitting string literals.
- Improved command documentation for generators.
- Use a slice not map for genTypes so that protocol generation
  is deterministic. (Previously the "created for" comments
  would alternate between TextDocumentFilter_Item{0,1}.)

The generated output has changed trivially ("//x" -> "// x")
because the most recent committed generated files was stale
wrt recent generator changes. Also, line number comments now
start at 1, not zero (eliminating a TODO).
