go/format error about moq

[chrishulbert]

I have this issue.

Here's my suggestion: try editing ~/go/src/matryer/moq/main.go, finding the line containing fmt.Errorf("go/format, change it to return fmt.Errorf("go/format: %s | %s", err, string(buf.Bytes())), and run go build (from the moq folder).

Then find the moq commandline by searching for go:generate in your project, then run ../../moq ...etc... in your project's folder. This will let you see the code that moq is generating that is breaking the formatter, and will let you know which types are causing it to fail.

In my case it's generating *invalid type in the code, which I don't have the answer to yet.

A couple of changes have been introduced in relation to this issue. For one, we are now checking errors on loading the package info (70fed06) which should fail fast with appropriate error message returned from golang.org/x/tools/go/packages. Additionally, a new formatter option, noop can be used to print the generated source code without attempting to format it (which could fail when the generated code is not valid). Hope that helps.
