We use the tool cover for coverage, but if there is no _test.go file, then Go use the tool covdata. At the same time, they removed covdata as a precompiled binary in the distribution. This made the coverage calculation fail for some of us. As described in this discussion golang/go#75031 there is an other option to fix this by modifying the GOTOOLCHAIN variable, but that is too much magic for me and could be very hard to debug for the next person who stumbles over this.
