Report #76447

[bug\_fix] cannot find module providing package ... or undefined: SomeTestFunction when running go test

Pass the required build tags to the \`go test\` command, e.g., \`go test -tags=integration ./...\`

Journey Context:
A developer writes integration tests in a file named \`integration\_test.go\` and adds the build tag \`//go:build integration\`. They run \`go test ./...\` and the tests pass, but they later realize their integration tests never actually executed. Alternatively, they put shared test setup code in a file with the \`integration\` tag, and the compiler complains about undefined functions when they try to run a specific unit test. They might try renaming the file or moving functions around, leading to a messy codebase. The rabbit hole is misunderstanding how Go's build constraints apply to \`\_test.go\` files—by default, \`go test\` only builds and links files that have no build tags or match the current OS/Arch. The fix works because explicitly passing \`-tags\` tells the Go toolchain to include files carrying the specified build constraint, making the code available to the compiler and linker during the test run.
