Why the functions defined in other "main" packages are not recognised?

I have to files main.go and main2.go . In main.go I have the main() function defined along with a call somefunc() which is in main2.go. The issue is that when I run go run main.go it says that somefunc() is undefined. Basically it doesn't scan the other main functions from package. However if I declare this somefunc() in main.go it works but when I run go test it says the function is redeclared.

Question: Is there any way that I can tell to go run to behave like go test and compile/run all the files from the package(in this case both main.go and main1.go) not just main.go?

You must include all the files as argument of the go run.

go run main1.go main.go

or

go *.go

Unless there are test files in the same folder.
