build failed with incorrect import?

[h8liu]

can't load package: package github.com/cactus/go-camo/cmd/go-camo: code in directory /go/src/github.com/cactus/go-camo/cmd/go-camo expects import "github.com/cactus/go-camo"
can't load package: package github.com/cactus/go-camo/cmd/url-tool: code in directory /go/src/github.com/cactus/go-camo/cmd/url-tool expects import "github.com/cactus/go-camo"

I think the directory structure is changed, but not the import path hint.

🤔 hmm. I recently switched the master branch to using vgo, which is likely the cause.

What steps did you take to get that error?

[h8liu]

go get -u github.com/cactus/go-camo/cmd/go-camo

it's okay if you say that "go get" is no longer supported, but the import path does not look right non-the-less. or is that a vgo thingy?

[dropwhile]

Ah... yeah, vgo isn't fully supported in mainline go yet (so go get doesn't work right now). Currently you need to check out the repository to do a build.

If you need to use go get due to environmental requirements, you should still be able to go get the previous release tag using gopkg.in's versioning urls.

go get -u gopkg.in/cactus/go-camo.v1/cmd/go-camo

That should auto-select version v1.1.2 (see: http://labix.org/gopkg.in for more details).
It might be easier to just use the prebuild release binaries though too.

And sorry about go get unexpectedly not working anymore. I've had a bit of CI fallout (circle.ci) with the change too. That's what I get for trying to get ahead of the curve with go dependency management for a change! ha!

[dropwhile]

whelp. Looks like I fixed it!
🎉

It seems vgo doesn't require the weird import comment any longer, which was indeed added there just for vgo.

Closing as resolved. Work arounds shouldn't be needed. If you still run into issues, then let me know.
