Embed is not working

[Xumeiquer]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.17.1 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes, it does. I tested also with go version go1.16 linux/amd64 and go version go1.17.1 darwin/amd64 with the same result.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

Tested with this both examples extracted from the documentation https://pkg.go.dev/embed.

package main

import _ "embed"

// go:embed test.txt
var s string

func main() {
    print(s)
}

package main

import "embed"

// go:embed test.txt
var f embed.FS

func main(){
    data, _ := f.ReadFile("test.txt")
    print(string(data))
}

What did you expect to see?

I expect to have the file test.txt data in both examples printed out to the screen.

What did you see instead?

I see an empty string.

This is not correct:

// go

You need to have no space between the // and go. The examples all have no space.
