Maybe you could try checking if this is because tests aren't being run 
from the source directory root, but in the build directory instead. In 
one of the packages I have updated recently, the issue was just that, 
and I've fixed it via a symlink. You can find the commit here: 
<https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-gonvenience-ytbx/-/commit/c0e4564be55b0a84f86648d51352a8fbb9d0a73e>

Maybe this applies to your issue too!

Bye :)
