What did you do?

Trying to import a package using go mod tidy that contains a test file containing trailer .

https://github.com/chinmayb/notepad/blob/v0.0.1/pkg/default.test.

Trying to import /pkg elsewhere results in error

What did you expect to see?

No error and ignore non go files for the trailing .

What did you see instead?

go mod tidy fails.

sample go.mod file

module test

go 1.19

Thanks for reporting. Here's a smaller reproducer:

$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ go mod init test
$ GOPATH=$(mktemp -d) GOPROXY=direct GOSUMDB=off go get github.com/chinmayb/notepad@v0.0.1
go: downloading github.com/chinmayb/notepad v0.0.1
go: github.com/chinmayb/notepad@v0.0.1: create zip: pkg/default.test.: malformed file path "pkg/default.test.": trailing dot in path element

The relevant constraints on file paths in modules are documented at https://go.dev/ref/mod#zip-path-size-constraints. I'm not immediately seeing why a file named "default.test." must be disallowed, but that appears to be the current behavior implemented by module.CheckFilePath (see https://go.dev/play/p/_0kVbNFSoxe).

CC @bcmills, @matloob.

Oh, it does seem to match the documented behavior. CheckFilePath docs say:

The definition of a valid file path is the same as the definition of a valid import path except that the set of allowed characters is larger [...]

And CheckImportPath docs say:

A valid path element is a non-empty string made up of ASCII letters, [...]. It must not end with a dot (U+002E) [...]

This is intentional, for portability — we must be able to unpack the module on any platform that supports Go, and the Windows file naming conventions (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions) say in no uncertain terms: “Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period.”

@bcmills bcmills closed this as not planned Won't fix, can't repro, duplicate, stale Sep 1, 2023
