Cannot access declarations in a common file in the same directory

<p>I created a common.go file which contains common struct declarations and some common associated methods and utility functions.</p> <p>Put this in a directory test/ Created two files a.go and b.go.</p> <p>But when I directly use structs from common.go in a.go or b.go, go compiler complains that it cannot find it.</p> <p>Yes GOPATH is correctly set.</p> <p>What gives?</p>
