Build single test in go - unit-testing

Question

I have two tests in my project, I would like to build a single test, place the resulting binary in a container, run it, and then attach a debugger.
Is this possible?
package dataplatform
import "testing"
func TestA(t *testing.T) {
// test A
}
func TestRunCommand(t *testing.T) {
// Test B
}

You may use -run <regexp> to limit (filter) the tests to run. So for example if you want to run only the TestA() test, you may do it like this:
go test -run TestA
Actually the above will run all tests whose names contain TestA, so to be explicit, it would be:
go test -run ^TestA$
To not run the tests but generate the test binary, you may use the -c option:
go test -c
This won't run the tests, but compile a binary which when executed will run the tests.
The problem is that you can't combine these options, e.g. running
go test -c -run TestA
Will generate a binary which when executed will run all tests.
The truth is that the generated binary accepts the same parameters as go test, so you may pass -run TestA to the generated binary, but you must prefix the params with test:
Each of these flags is also recognized with an optional 'test.' prefix, as in -test.v. When invoking the generated test binary (the result of 'go test -c') directly, however, the prefix is mandatory.
So if the name of the generated test binary is my.test, run it like:
./my.test -test.run TestA
