Paketo Community Go Generate Buildpack.

Proposal

An optional buildpack for the Go language family that runs go generate.

Motivation

For some Go applications, generated files are not committed to the repository. They are expected to be generated at buildtime (for example, generating embedded files.)

Technically, this buildpack would run before the go-build buildpack in a custom builder's configuration as we are not looking to integrate this buildpack into the Go language family buildpack at this time. There is another RFC for adopting this buildpack into the Go language family buildpack if it makes sense.

Implementation

A new go-generate buildpack will be developed to run the command go generate ./... when BP_GO_GENERATE=true. Eventually, it can be optimized to allow specifying which generate commands should be run as defined in the other RFC.

Detection Crtieria

The buildpack will pass detection if the BP_GO_GENERATE environment variable is set to true.

Build Process

The buildpack will run go generate ./... in the directory.
