GOPACKAGEDRIVERS generates an "invalid use of internal package" false positive when testing an internal package. about rules_go HOT 4 OPEN

Could you share a reproducer that we could turn into an integration test?

Basically this is the issue:
If I use the same package name that the package Im testing everything works perfectly.

But If I wanna separate the package name of the test files the GOPACKAGESDRIVER starts to emit a false positive about the imported packages like it was imported outside of the parent internal package.

It is like the GOPACKAGESDRIVER is forcing to implement only white-box tests (having access to everything in the internal package not only exported definitions) it is ok, but most of the time we wanna implement black-box tests (only the exported API of the package not all the internal things).

Thanks in advance for supporting.

Hmm odd, based on the definition of where it's allowable to use internal packages this should not mark this as an issue. We did recently fix it not allowing you to even have the black box tests like this, so this is more akin to a warning, but I'll have a look to see how we can fix this.
