$ GOPATH=/usr/lib/golang avocado list math
golang math:TestNaN
golang math:TestAcos
golang math:TestAcosh
golang math:TestAsin
... skip ...

Another option is to try the countavocados examples provided with avocado. Please fetch the avocado code where this example is included. ::

$ git clone https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado.git

Also, disable the Module-aware mode_, this can be done with the GO111MODULE environment variable::

$ go env -w GO111MODULE=off

.. _Module-aware mode: https://golang.org/ref/mod#mod-commands

Then you can list and run the countavocados tests provided with the plugin::

$ GOPATH=$PWD/avocado/optional_plugins/golang/tests  avocado -V list countavocados
Type   Test                              Tag(s)
golang countavocados:TestEmptyContainers
golang countavocados:TestNoContainers
golang countavocados:ExampleContainers
