I do not understand Guix well enough why this could happen. Since `make clean-go` helps, the cause must be in Guix=E2=80=99 .go files and not some cache. In Makefile.am, the check-system target depends on $(GOBJECTS). I presume gnu/tests.go and gnu/ci.go should be added to GOBJECTS? Or gnu/tests.scm and gnu/ci.scm should be added to MODULES? But I do not really understand.

Looking at, I can't reliably reproduce the error myself. It simply "comes up" every now and then if I switch between branches with an existing build and try rebuilding Guix and rerunning the tests. Agreed, a fix would be preferred. I have absolutely no idea how. > I do not understand Guix well enough why this could happen.

I don't believe the issue is limited to those two files in particular (although it could be). That just happened to be the file causing the problem when I caught the error and pasted it in the doc. > But I do not really understand.
