Thanks @rob_pike for sorting me out on cover and style.

Rule for today run ‘go fmt’ to get that go code nice and formatted to standard style conventions!

go-imports tool

go test -v
go test -cover
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -func=cover.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out

~Oh you are joking!

Tweet: #golang crew any ideas re test-cover error ‘cover: internal error: block 3 overlaps block 4’ before I stackoverflow it? Much Appreciated

@sharpic Please send me a minimal repro via a playground link if possible. There are a couple of tricky cases in the block discovery code.

Hi @rob_pike not sure how to make repo but there are just two files http://play.golang.org/p/9tOXSFUHT2 including one for testing http://play.golang.org/p/qEA9hXgEIT

Response
@sharpic Thanks. Here’s a full repro example. http://play.golang.org/p/9dfyOAe8_y
Never shown up because we run gofmt – problem is no spaces on else.

Issue 8557: go.tools/cover: confused by else without spaces

@sharpic Also: Don’t use “this” and run go fmt but anyway: *this = twitter{} will clear your struct.

So constructive comments already!
