Regarding refactoring of solutions in multiple files as opposed to just single file

[Bigguysahaj]

At one point of the solution, it just seems ideal to refactor and distribute the codes into various files.
But testing of these files are not supported.

In my case where I'm using go , I have to keep all my code within main.go.
The reason to my understanding is the following code in your_program.sh.

 # this is the current included code
 go build -o /tmp/codecrafters-build-grep-go cmd/mygrep/main.go
 # something like this would be more helpful
 go build -o /tmp/codecrafters-build-grep-go ./cmd/mygrep/...

I would like to know if this behavior of keeping all the code in just one file is by design, and if so what is the main idea behind it?

@Bigguysahaj not by design! Seems like a bug in fact, we do suggest splitting out files in

We'll take a look at this! In the meantime, you should be able to change the files in .codecrafters/{compile/run}.sh to get the tester to include your files.
