golang: go run is always running old code even after changes - go

I have a weird issue with golang. I run the command (like everytime):
go run main.go
Then I made some change into my code and then I run again:
go run main.go
But the executed code is the old version of the code. So I tried some stuff:
Reboot the computer
Delete all the temporary binaries into temp folder
Reinstall go
Delete and put back my code
Remove some file
But it is still running my old version of the code. I didn't find solution about this issue, and the few post about it doesn't give a solution (here and here).
About my configuration it is the following:
Raspberry pi running Raspbian (updated)
Go version 1.8.1
I hope you can help me !
Thank in advance!
Best regards,

Okay!
The problem come from the imports. In the code some imports was calling old version of the code.

I think your GOPATH is pointing to a wrong folder. Please, run go env to make sure that it is pointing to the right directory. If not set it to location where go files are. Please, take into account that go run usually does not need a file specification and if you do you have to list defacto all files of your app that main.go depends upon.

trouble installing "gorilla/mux" in golang

So I installed gorilla/mux to use it for my API by typing this code on terminal
go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux
And since it didn't return any errors (nor any texts) I thought the install was successful. But When I started to use "mux. "something, vscode showed that the name "mux" is not declared. Does anyone had any similar experience or know how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
(Using go1.18.3)
Your project doesn't have go.sum file.
Run go mod tidy and you will be good to go.

Understanding go mod and cause of package is not in GOROOT

I'm trying to play around with the lightning network. I have cloned the repo, and on disk placed it here (I'm using windows):
C:\Users\hallibut\Documents\GitHub\lnd
I'd like to run any of the tests in itest, lets say testMultiHopPayments. The cli commands I'm using after I cd into the above location is:
go test itest -run testMultiHopPayments
However, I keep getting the error:
package itest is not in GOROOT (C:\Program Files\Go\src\itest)
I've read through the various posts on this error, but I'm still not quite sure why it happens, and it's likely because I don't fully understand the go module (I'm new to go). This article, was probably the best in helping me understand the structure and env variables:
https://golangbyexample.com/workspace-hello-world-golang/
My understanding from the various readings is that whatever directory the go.mod file is in, indicates the module level directory. Prior to version 1.13 there was a required directory and structure, but now that should not be an issue if you're using at least version 1.13 and modules. I'm using 1.17.1. This is somewhat of an assumption or inference, but I believe everything lower in the directory structure is part of a package to be installed as part of the module (and is defined by the package keyword). However, I don't understand why a package with source code within a subdirectory would be missing/throw the aforementioned error. I've also tried running:
go mod install github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/lntest/itest
That doesn't seem to do anything/has not effect on the error. What am I not understanding about packages? Looking at the go.mod file I observe that itest is not specifically defined anywhere… Not sure if that's required. Also, I assume I've got to run some build process prior? I attempted this with:
go install -v ./...
If you're using VS Code and Go Modules, you need to "Open folder" and point to the cloned repo, to get around that error

GO API installation fails "evq/chromaticity"

I am trying to install chromaticity on my own machine for testing, and no matter what i do i will always hit the error seen in this picture installation error
I dont know why it happened i tried searching but i found nothing online. my question is does anyone know why it happens? or can point me to the right direction? i have checked the folders and yes there are no GO files in there but i dont see why that is a problem
The api could be found here: https://github.com/evq/chromaticity
This is not an issue (as in bug) on the project, rather an issue due to lack of documentation on how to build the project itself.
If you look at the Makefile file on the root directory, you'll notice that static/static.go is a generated file as part of the build process. Such file is usually not committed to the repo so you'll need to build it yourself. To do so, you'll need to have go-bindata installed.
Here's what you need to do in order to build the project successfully:
Get the go-bindata package
go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
Get the project
go get github.com/evq/chromaticity
Go the project root directory
cd [...the chromaticity project root..]
Run make to generate the static/static.go file
make
Build/ install the project
go install
Update:
Noticed from your screenshot that you're using Windows, in that case you may need to workaround the issue of running Makefile in Windows. See here for possible solution: How to run a makefile in Windows?
I've run into the same issue when trying to "get" and then install this project. I looked into the code and there is no trace of Asset() function in github.com/evq/chromaticity/static. Moreover git history does not show any .go files in static/ directory. Personally, I would create issue in the project and/or look for different repo containing desired functionality.

package download fails , "GOPATH not set." why?

OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Go version reporting: 1.1.1
Action:
I have configured the .profile to contain the following lines:
export GOPATH="$HOME/workspace"
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
I have ensured that they are set in the go configuration by running "go env". However when I try to run the command, the screen reports as shown in the image below:
Possible constraining issues:
1) The box originally had Go v1.0 on it and I upgraded it to go version1.1.1, not sure that should mean anything...but if there is some twin configuration madness at work that may explain the fact it's not working despite the path being set.
2) I had the export commands in the .profile file but I see some threads indicate to put it in .bashrc, trying in either still gives the same problem.
Do I need to uninstall go 1.0 ? I just assumed version 1.1.1 would over ride it but that could be wrong. Ideally I wanted to uninstall go entirely and then install version 1.1.2 but I couldn't find anything at golang.org on uninstalling assuming that does solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
As the commenter above stated, you should not use sudo with go get. When you do, you have the root user's environment (which doesn't have your GOPATH) and any files or directories it creates won't be editable by your user. In the past, the go get command would not warn about not having a $GOPATH and so it was easier to get tripped up by this.
To fix your permissions, run the following command to change ownership back to your user:
sudo chown -R "$USER:" "$GOPATH"
You should only ever need to run a plain go get because you can (and should) set your $GOPATH to be a directory you can control. Be sure to read the How To Write Go Code and in particular its discusson on GOPATH.

Nothing happens when running go get github.com/astaxie/beego

warning: noob question ahead :-)
I was trying to run go get github.com/astaxie/beego but it does nothing. I have been running examples I picked up from the internet and I installed gotour successfully. Any idea why?
Turns out my setup was messed up. I purged everything and installed golang using this nifty script: https://github.com/moovweb/gvm. It takes care of everything. Thanks #peterSO for the help.
If it doesn't show anything, it doesn't mean nothing works. Try doing the same with '-v' flag
go get -v github.com/astaxie/beego
Besides, all your downloads will be saved (most probably) somewhere to your '~' directory ('~/go/src' in my case), not in your current terminal directory
if on Ubuntu/Debian?, try the golang package for installing go. it seems to work for me quite well.
