go/packages/packagestest: add package use example
The purpose and value of packagestest is easy to understand. However, the current API may not be easy to get started with. It includes identifiers such as Exporter, Exported, Export, whose names may not make it very clear in what order they are to be used, and whether the Exporter interfaces needs to be implemented by the caller. There are fairly common patterns of usage spread out across various packages that use packagestest. Add an example of basic usage to the documentation of this package that connects all of the pieces together, so that users don't have to look for it elsewhere. I would've preferred to add the example as example code¹, but it doesn't seem viable to write example code for test helper packages. There isn't a way to get a functional *testing.T in a func Example. ¹ https://golang.org/pkg/testing/#hdr-Examples Updates golang/go#33655 Change-Id: I0b15ff7974be25a71dfd4b68f470441ce7331d18 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/196980 Reviewed-by: Michael Matloob <matloob@golang.org>
