Summary
This PR fixes a bug in the Go autobuilder which we became aware of in #16448: if a repository contains multiple logical workspaces and a build script (such as a
Makefile
), then that build script is erroneously executed for each logical workspace.The fix is mainly to only execute build scripts once, but this PR also adjusts some other, related parts of the autobuild process to ensure that they run for the correct workspace, rather than in the root of the repository.
Evaluation
I have a run a QA experiment for this PR which shows only one regression, nine progressions, and various timing improvements that we would expect to see from not running build scripts multiple times.
Further, I have tested the repository linked to in the above issue with this fix and can confirm that the build time has improved considerably while still successfully extracting all 49 modules.
