I have a Golang project and the version I am using is 1.13. And my module is hosted in my private repo. And my repo starts with:
module <Private-Repo>-service
go 1.13
And there are some Repos that are from Github and go packages. I am using Golang's vs code package
Go Team at Google
I have my env like:
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
GOPATH="/home/{User}/go"
GOPRIVATE=<Private-Repo-URL>
And my folder where I am copying my Repo is inside /home/{User}/go/src/
But I am unable to fix the issue and it is saying:
could not import github.com/golang/mock/gomock (cannot find package "github.com/golang/mock/gomock" in any of
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/golang/mock/gomock (from $GOROOT)
/home/{User}/go/src/github.com/golang/mock/gomock (from $GOPATH))compilerBrokenImport
So I need to fix this issue in the visual studio code.
Try first if the issue persists:
in command-line (go get github.com/golang/mock/gomock, in the root folder of your project, where go.mod/go.sum are)
after upgrading, if possible, to go 1.17.
Once a go build is working in command-line, you can switch back to VSCode, and confirm it is also fine there.
Instead of storing your code directly inside your $GOPATH, try to store it inside another directory namely github.com/{github-username}/.
From:
/home/{User}/go/src/
To:
/home/{User}/go/src/github.com/{github-username}/

Asking to see what the appropriate workaround is for building individual go packages from the go/std library when working on a github repo fork. The issue encountered is summarized by the following error when building for example the src/go/parser package.
parser.go 21:2 use of internal package go/internal/typeparams is not allowed
Of course the project import paths all reference GOROOT library paths
usr/local/go
And I am typically working on projects from my own directory where my go path is set.
/Users/andewx/github/go/src/github.com/andewx/my_go_extension_project
The crux of the issue is that the clone/fork project uses standard library import paths and I would like to be able to work on my repo from my own GOPATH. But internal packages can't be imported in this case because the import directives will always point to my GOROOT.
The only two options I can think of is:
Extending my personal go project by initiating the repo inside of my /usr/local/go and working on the packages from there.
Changing my GOROOT to point to my current project and including current go binary go fmt and toolchains in my project
Ideally I can just leave everything as far as directory structure is concerned as is and I can redirect the standard import path for go standard library to my current project for this project only...
Any ideas from the community for solution #3 is what I'm looking for.
Extending my personal go project by initiating the repo inside of my /usr/local/go and working on the packages from there.
Changing my GOROOT to point to my current project and including current go binary go fmt and toolchains in my project
If you are trying to work on the go compiler and extend it I actually found that changing your GOROOT to point to your workspace and then copying over the binaries and tools you need as a suitable fix and it doesn't create any additional issues.
Export your environment variable export GOROOT="/my/go/project"
Find out where your go tools are located with go env GOTOOLDIR copy this directory structure into your project folder.
Copy go bin cp /usr/local/bin/* ${GOROOT}"/bin" copy in your go binary
Copy toolscp /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/* ${GOROOT}/pkg/tool/linux_amd64
Now your project should be able to run the copied binaries with your project directories temporarily set as the GOROOT.
I'm working in fibrechannel project, and there are same level project(common) that fibrechannel depends on.
When I select Enable Go modules integration as below:
IDE tells me logger not found. (Note I'm using red rectangle to mark the reference and it's actually location under common folder)
After I unclick the Enable Go modules integration checkbox. (Note GOPATH looks like below)
IDE tells me "github.com/pkg/errors" not found.
the go.mod under fibrechannel looks like below:
module fibrechannel/src
go 1.12
require (
github.com/pkg/errors v0.8.1
github.com/stretchr/testify v1.3.0
gopkg.in/iconv.v1 v1.1.1
gopkg.in/yaml.v2 v2.2.2
)
I'm a newbie in GO language, and I just want the IDE to resolve dependencies successfully.
I'm wondering if there's a way to make both GOPATH and GoModules work in Jetbrains GoLand. If not, is there a way to modify go.mod so that it can include GOPATH?
Finally, I managed to solve this issue.
B.T.W, since this is an old project maintained by many team members. I don't want to change its code structure, all I need is to read the content without any unknown reference in GoLand.
The solution is NOT to use go modules.
I unchecked the Enable Go modules integration so that only libraries in venders folder not found.
Then I manually added venders folder into GOPATH.
Now dependencies are all resolved!
I have a go.mod file in a golang project, and I also have another go project which is embedded in this project, but vscode does not seem to recognize this embedded project. Is there a way to work with multiple golang project with vscode?
You have to add the modules directory to your workspace using the "file / add folder to work space" menu.
What you have is a multi-module workspace and this is supported by Go and VSCode. If you are using Go 1.17 and earlier then fix is a configuration option on VSCode (experimentalWorkspaceModule setting). If you have Go 1.18+ then fix is using the new go.work file.

Not having previous knowledge about creating a project from zero within terminal, I've created a folder, cd into of it then run go mod init my_project_name which created a go.mod file for me, then I've created main.go file which built just ok.
Then I created a folder and add a go file inside with package name (being same with directory) and create a struct inside of it. Next I tried to import that package in main package but when I try to build on terminal it gave me this error
go: cannot determine module path for source directory /Users/berkcan/workspace/go/my_project_name (outside GOPATH, module path must be specified)
After googling and not being able to find a solution to my problem, I've imported project to beloved Intellij IDE and I enabled Go modules integration then everything worked flawlessly. First I thought IDE doing some magic inside while building project but even when I try go build command in terminal, it built. But I cant see difference in project structure or a new line in go.mod file.
So what happened, what did Intellij IDE did when I ticked go module integration box and what I can do enable it on terminal without Intellij IDE ?
here is the photo of option in IDE when ticked
IntelliJ IDEA plus Go plugin or GoLand under the hood has two modes to get the information about your packages (simplified):
GOPATH. IDEA scans your $GOPATH directory to build internal indexes of your packages and provides code completion, resolving, etc.
Go Modules. IDEA executes go list -m -json to resolve your dependencies and scans your $GOPATH/pkg/mod directory (default value of GOMODCACHE) for the packages. If they don't exist, IDEA executes go mod download. After these operations, the IDE provides all built-in features like code completion, navigation and so on.
Both modes don't change your Go or environment variables as well as behavior in the terminal. When you check Enable Go Modules integration option in the settings, the IDE just switches the mode from scan $GOPATH to execute go list and resolve your dependencies from the Go Modules cache.
To summarize, IntelliJ IDEA doesn't do any magic. I suppose it relates to your custom Go environment variables inside the terminal, especially GO111MODULE and if you didn't pass these variables to the GUI apps (e.g. you have specified it in .zshrc file and run the IDE via Desktop entry instead of the terminal), IntelliJ IDEA doesn't inherit them. You can compare go env output inside your local terminal and built-in inside the IDE (View | Tool Windows | Terminal) and find differences.
I am trying to setup Gandalf but when I do go get github.com/JumboInteractiveLimited/Gandalf I'm getting error
package github.com/jmartin82/mmock/definition: cannot find package "github.com/jmartin82/mmock/definition" in any of:

This reached me via a GitHub Issue however I thought it best to mention it here for clarity.
Gandalf utilizes go modules to pin dependency versions, go get will download the latest version of a dependency rather than the version a project actually supports where as something like go mod download will respect the go.mod file and fetch the correct version. The mmock project has changed its package structure making newer versions of it not backwards compatible.
I recommend getting antiquated with go modules as they seem to be the way forward now and have been enabled by default in newer versions of the go compiler. If I remember correctly you may already have support for it you just need to set the environment variable GO111MODULE=on when dealing with projects that have a go.mod file.
