Report #2835

[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in /path/to/package

Ensure at least one .go file in the package lacks the restrictive build constraint, or pass the missing build tag using the '-tags' flag during the build or test command.

Journey Context:
A developer splits a package into platform-specific implementations, creating 'file\_linux.go' and 'file\_windows.go'. They attempt to build the project on macOS and encounter this error. The compiler complains because no files in the package are eligible for compilation on 'darwin'. Alternatively, they add '//go:build integration' to all files in a test package and run 'go test' without the tag. The fix is to either add a generic 'file.go' without build constraints, provide a 'file\_darwin.go', or run the command with '-tags=integration' if the files are gated behind a custom tag.
