mockgen chokes on embedded interfaces

[RomanSaveljev]

I was able to reduce my problem to this minimal case:

package test

import (
    "io"
)

type Iface interface {
    io.WriteCloser
}

Then mockgen fails:

$ $GOPATH/bin/mockgen -source iface.go -package test
2015/09/18 12:16:35 Loading input failed: iface.go:8:5: unknown embedded interface io.WriteCloser
$ $GOPATH/bin/mockgen -imports io=io -source iface.go -package test
2015/09/18 12:16:23 Loading input failed: iface.go:8:5: unknown embedded interface io.WriteCloser

Thanks for looking into the issue

Seems to work in reflect mode:

$ $GOPATH/bin/mockgen test Iface
...

This is enough for me, feel free to close, if no more action is deemed

Yes, use reflect mode whenever possible. It's much more likely to get these kinds of cases right.
