How to call function from another file in go language?

You can't have more than one main in your package.

More generally, you can't have more than one function with a given name in a package.

Remove the main in test2.go and compile the application. The demo function will be visible from test1.go.

Go Lang by default builds/runs only the mentioned file. To Link all files you need to specify the name of all files while running.

Run either of below two commands:

$go run test1.go test2.go. //order of file doesn't matter
$go run *.go

You should do similar thing, if you want to build them.

I was looking for the same thing. To answer your question "How to call demo in test2 from test1?", here is the way I did it. Run this code with go run test1.go command. Change the current_folder to folder where test1.go is.

test1.go

package main

import (
    L "./lib"
)

func main() {
    L.Demo()
}

lib\test2.go

Put test2.go file in subfolder lib

package lib

import "fmt"

// This func must be Exported, Capitalized, and comment added.
func Demo() {
    fmt.Println("HI")
}
