TestMain not run

I have a test package in go which tests some stuff that depend on reading a configuration. I want to read that configuration once before running all tests so I'm trying to use TestMain(m *testing.M):

main.go:

package tests

import (
    ...
)

var logger = logging.MustGetLogger("tests")

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
    logger.Info("Initializing test suite")

    viper.SetConfigName("config")
    viper.AddConfigPath("..\\..\\")
    err := viper.ReadInConfig()
    if err == nil {
        os.Exit(m.Run())
    } else {
        logger.Fatal("Could not read configuration")
    }
}

And I have another file in the same directory (and package) with a test.

repository_test.go:

package tests

import (
    ...
)

func TestCreation(t *testing.T) {
    aa := myModule.CreateRepository()
    assert.NotNil(t, aa)
}

My problem is that the test fails because the configuration is not read from the file. When I try to debug the test in Gogland a breakpoint inside TestMain is not hit. When I run the tests from command line I don't see any printouts from TestMain.

Is there something special I should do to make it work? From what I read online I understood that if I define TestMain(m *testing.M) then it's going to run just once for the package and that's where I'm supposed to write any setup or teardown code.

TestMain is only executed in test files (suffix _test.go).

Move the function to the repository_test.go file to fix this.

Make sure that the run configuration is set to Package not File in Run | Edit Configurations... | Go Test | Name of your configuration and this should work. If it doesn't, please post the commands the IDE runs to execute the tests.
