Generating unit tests for current function generates tests for other functions, too

[mrwonko]

If you have two functions where one's name is a prefix of the other's and you generate unit tests for the shorter one, tests are also generated for the other one:

func foo()    {}
func fooBar() {}

Upon executing "Go: Generate Unit Tests for Function" for foo() I get a message saying "Generated: Test_foo, Test_fooBar" and the following tests:

func Test_foo(t *testing.T) {
	tests := []struct {
		name string
	}{
	// TODO: Add test cases.
	}
	for range tests {
		t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
			foo()
		})
	}
}

func Test_fooBar(t *testing.T) {
	tests := []struct {
		name string
	}{
	// TODO: Add test cases.
	}
	for range tests {
		t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
			fooBar()
		})
	}
}

Thanks for reporting this issue Willi Schinmeyer (@mrwonko)!

Looks like the gotests tool was expected a regular expression for the function names. Since we passed just the function names, anything that matched got picked up.

Fixed it with 1935167

The fix will be out in the next update to the Go extension which should be out next week

Just released an update (0.6.74) that has the fix for this issue.
