when building getting error that there is " no Go files in /home/.. " and does not detects in the subdirectory

[aleks20905]

im using Go: 1.23.4 Air: 1.61.5 OS: nixos

After updating to version 1.61.5 of air, I encountered an issue where the main.go file is not detected when it is located in a subdirectory ./cmd. However, since the update, air fails to start or build the application unless the main.go file is moved to the root directory of the project.

The only workaround I’ve found is to move the main.go file from the cmd folder to the root of the project.

and to the air.toml i have only changed : cmd = "templ generate && go build -o tmp/main ./cmd"

Have you tried this command: cmd = "go build -o tmp/main -buildvcs=false ./cmd"

Haven't tried it.

However I solved the issue by moving my main.go file to the project's root directory. Now it's working as expected 👍

What is the connection between the problem and -buildvcs=false buildvcs its just metadata embedding.

I updated to version 1.61.5 of air and started encountering this issue then downgraded to 1.61.4, but the problem persisted. Before 1.61.1, I didn't have any problems, and I haven't tried versions 1.61.2 or 1.61.3.

I havent looked very closely into the matter. Where and when exactly the problem started but still i know that. It seems like something specific changed after 1.61.1+ .

Same on upgrading from 1.60 to 1.61.7. Though it only popped up when I tried to move my templ command to pre_cmd
