Many tests in x/tools invoke the 'go' command found from $PATH. If that command does not match the 'go' command used to invoke 'go test', the result will be misleading. Instead of silently accepting the mismatched result, check the 'go' tool's self-reported GOROOT and reject it if it doesn't match the 'go' tool used to invoke 'go test'. That rejection will cause the x/tools tests to fail if x/tools is the main module.

Go Tools
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.
Some of the tools, godoc
and vet
for example, are included in binary Go
distributions.
Others, including the Go guru
and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with
go get
.
Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.
Download/Install
The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/...
. You can
also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools
.
