imports error: tools file for go install command

[sioncojp]

$ cat tools.go
// +build tools

package tools

import (
	_ "github.com/incu6us/goimports-reviser"
)

This is the file for go install to keep it from disappearing with go mod tidy. See below for details

• https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-can-i-track-tool-dependencies-for-a-module
• https://github.com/go-modules-by-example/index/blob/master/010_tools/README.md

Running this file with the -rm-unused option will result in an error.

$ goimports-reviser -company-prefixes "github.com/xxx" -project-name -rm-unused -imports-order std,company,project,general -file-path tools.go
2022/11/17 10:49:55 internal error: go list gives conflicting information for package github.com/xxx/api [github.com/xxx/api.test]

Is there any way to avoid this error?

I also get this error too, with build.go exist

//go:build tools
// +build tools

package main

import (
	_ "github.com/envoyproxy/protoc-gen-validate"
	_ "github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go"
	_ "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-grpc-gateway"
	_ "github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/protoc-gen-swagger"
	_ "github.com/kei2100/protoc-gen-marshal-zap/plugin/protoc-gen-marshal-zap"
)

Looks like we need to ignore build tools
