Problem
In the project I am working on we want to use
//go:generate go run github.com/globusdigital/deep-copy [args...]
instead of forcing all of our contributors to installdeep-copy
locally. (I assume we are not the only ones)When
deep-copy
is invoked viago run
it creates the following comment on the auto generated files// generated by /tmp/go-build335036942/b001/exe/deep-copy [args...]
This is problematic because:
go-buildxxxx
which is unneeded noisego generate ./...
in our CI to validate that contributors have not forgotten to update required autogenerated code in their PRs, this CI job will always fail as it will alter thego-buildxxxx
Solution
Normalize the output of the code generator so no-op regeneration results in no diffs.
Notes
// Code generated by mockery.
allowing users to safely invoke it viago run
