I think there's a further issue which I believe was pre-existing.

The package test function looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun go-ts-mode-test-this-package ()
  "Run all the unit tests under the current package."
  (interactive)
  (compile (format "go test -v %s -run %s"
                   (go-ts-mode--get-build-tags-flag)
                   default-directory)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The issue that the argument to the `-run` flag is a regex that
should match any tests that will be execute.  Passing a directory
has slightly unexpected consequences, and although it seems to
work, for me typically results tests not running.

I think that we can remove the `-run` flag from this function.
What do others think?  Also, should this be a separate bug/patch
(if indeed it is a bug) or I can incorporate this change into the
current change set.
