Running go test with any of the standard flags throws an "flag provided but not defined:" error

Hi,

When using the this package and running go test with any of the testing package's testflags I get an error.
For example, running go test -v will produce the following :

flag provided but not defined: -test.v

The test.v is used to print out verbose output (https://golang.org/src/testing/testing.go).

chatty= flag.Bool("test.v", false, "verbose: print additional output")

Is there any way to make this package aware of other (Go) flags. This will allow the usage of testflags.

Thanks
-Dom

Could you post a gist with some test code of what you're trying to achieve?

domthinks commented

Unfortunately, the project was changed to instead use the built-in environment variables via os.Setenv. However, I could try to reproduce the error again by checking out the old version of the code.

Thank you for your response.

I'm closing the issue but will reopen when you have time to reproduce the error, thanks.

@namsral Sounds good.

@domthinks Can you confirm 59ceb74 from the testflag branch fixes your issue running go test -v?

domthinks commented

@namsral I have tested the code in 59ceb74 and the -v flag works without any error.

Thanks for following up on this issue.
