Parsing fails for test files with -modified flag about gomodifytags HOT 3 CLOSED

Ah! my bad.

My test file had some chinese characters and I was using a simple length function to get the file size.
Using Buffer.byteLength fixed the issue.

It worked like a charm with all the other files, so I was stumped.

False alarm.

Thanks!

Hi @ramya-rao-a

How exactly are you using it? The -modified tries to read from stdin and the format is in form of:

// The archive consists of a series of files. Each file consists of a
// name, a decimal file size and the file contents, separated by
// newlinews. No newline follows after the file contents.

It seems you're just feeding the file in directly instead of using the archive format.
We ultimately decided on this format for consistency with other tools (guru and gogetdoc, for example).

Since you have support for gogetdoc, you may already have code to build this archive, but if not, here's an example: https://github.com/joefitzgerald/go-plus/blob/master/lib/guru-utils.js#L8
