What did you do?

login.go

package mvp

import (
	"golang.org/x/text/language"
	"golang.org/x/text/message"
)

const alreadyLoggedInMessage = "You're already logged in"

func LoginStuff() {
	message.NewPrinter(language.MustParse("hu-HU")).Sprintf(alreadyLoggedInMessage)
}

register.go

package mvp

import (
	"golang.org/x/text/language"
	"golang.org/x/text/message"
)

func RegisterStuff() {
	message.NewPrinter(language.MustParse("hu-HU")).Sprintf(alreadyLoggedInMessage)
}

Then I called gotext via gotext -srclang=en-US update -out=catalog.go -lang=en-US,hu-HU {package name}

I get the following panic:

"runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference"

As far as I understand it seems to happen because in extract.go ident.Obj is nil when extracting messages from register.go, since the the declaration is in the other file (according to #48141).

Indeed modifying the relevant code to something like:

		if obj := ident.Obj; obj != nil {
			if v, ok := obj.Decl.(*ast.ValueSpec); ok && v.Comment != nil {
				// TODO: get comment above ValueSpec as well
				comment = v.Comment.Text()
			}
		}

apparently fixes the problem.

What did you expect to see?

No panic.

What did you see instead?

A panic.
