Report #47458
[bug\_fix] build constraints exclude all Go files in ...
Ensure the package contains at least one file that matches the current OS/Architecture, or remove the unused/empty package import.
Journey Context:
A developer is working on a cross-platform application and uses build tags like \`//go:build linux\` on all files in a package. They try to build on macOS and get this error. They might initially think they need a dummy file, but the real issue is either an accidental import of that package on macOS, or missing a \`\_darwin.go\` file that provides the interface for macOS. The debugging involves checking the import graph to see why the package is being compiled on this OS, and then either adding the missing OS-specific implementation or removing the import. The fix works because the Go compiler requires every imported package to have at least one compilable file for the target environment.
