Description

Output of go env in your module/workspace:

Builds running both on LUCI and coordinator, for example this one.

FAIL golang.org/x/text/feature/plural [build failed]
What did you expect to see?
Expected successful build.
The cause is vet errors from declaration of Example test functions which do not obey the convention described by go help testfunc:
Godoc displays the body of ExampleXxx to demonstrate the use of the function, constant, or variable Xxx.
For example in x/text/encoding/example_test.go, the funtion ExampleDecodeWindows1252 is declared, but there's no corresponding identifier DecodeWindows1252 declared in the package. A simple way to fix the error would be to rename ExampleDecodeWindows1252 to Example_decodeWindows1252.
This is similar to issue #68839
