Consider a situation where a test is failing in a golang project, say "github.com/originaluser/reponame".
A person who wants to fix the bug forks the repo into github.com/forkeduser/reponame" and then go gets it into his local machine.
The test will fail on his machine even after he fixes the bug if the test file is importing from "github.com/originaluser/reponame" because his changes have not been merged with the original project.
How does testing work in such a scenario?
The only resource I found was a splice.com blog
Just a short and simple solution it to clone the forked repository into the original repository path.
Step 1: create the path github.com/originaluser/reponame inside your gopath.
Step 2: change the working directory to your new folder
Step 3: git clone github.com/forkeduser/reponame.git
Step 4: fix the bug
Because now your fix is inside the original path, everything works.
