Describe the bug

When I touch the language and I want to regenerate the golden tests, I cannot find the diff files in Git.

Steps To Reproduce

Touch the language in a way that makes lang tests fails.
Run the _NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1 just test --suite installcheck -v functional-lang
git status
See nothing.

Expected behavior

Things should appear in my Git index.

`nix --version` output

2.94.0-dev

Additional context

The lang golden tests ends up in build/ instead.

eeh, this kindof is on the "wontfix" scale, at least from my side, given that #825 is very much on the horizon progressing well and not exhibiting this issue by design. The canonical workaround is cp build/tests/functional/lang/*.exp tests/functional/lang.

As it is a WONTFIX, I will close but people can still find it and know about the workaround.
