Ability to run go-pry outside of main package

[catherinetcai]

I'm wondering if it's in the scope of go-pry to eventually allow it to run in non-main packages. The way I currently have my Go project set up is to have a main package that sources certain functionalities from a ton of subpackages.

Yeah, it'd be definitely nice to support non-main packages. Since go-pry works by injecting code you'd either have to specify the package or do a very expensive scan of the entire dependency tree.

Sub packages within the same directory should work however

Hi @d4l3k thx for you great project.
I am comming from Ruby environment so I am very happy to see a REPL for go 🚀
Just a question is there already a way how I could specify non-main package?

There's currently no way, but it jwould make a lot of sense to add a new flag to specify extra packages to pry into. Like go-pry run -pkgs="pkg1,pkg2" foo.go
