I am a contributor to Go and I would like to use gomote repro ... to attempt to reproduce issues with my CLs.

What kinds of issues are you having that are difficult to debug locally?

Hi @firelizzard18 We found you don't have trybot/approvers permission yet. I think trybot/approvers permission can be useful and probably enough for most cases including debugging cases like CL 598815.
Do you mind converting this to the trybot/approvers access request first? Then, see if you still need gomote access?

@hyangah trybot access would be fine; ultimately my motivation is I want to be able to solve CI failures without consuming the time of the reviewer(s).
The actual issue was that I forgot to use filepath instead of path so it failed on Windows, which I couldn't reproduce since I was running on Linux. I saw the bot's suggestion to try gomote repro 8738985838330989409 and not knowing anything about gomote, I thought I would try that.

@prattmic points out that the suggestion to use gomote repro is a little premature for CLs that haven't yet run on the trybots. Sorry for the confusion. Enjoy your new powers (and great responsibility etc)!

Thank you for your contributions to Go, and for updating the request for Trybots access! I've granted the trybots access, so you should be able to do so now.
As you've likely read at https://go.dev/wiki/GerritAccess#running-trybots-may-start-trybots, please be sure to at least skim CLs before starting a Trybot run.
Let us know if you have any questions or issues with it, and thanks again!
