How to distinguish between a go and gb project?

[fatih]

Say we have our code inside a src folder:

~/foo/src/github.com/fatih/color

Our root folder is:

~/foo

Can we say that this is a gb project if all or some of followings are true:

1. $GB_PROJECT_DIR is equal to ~/foo
2. $GOPATH is not equal to ~/foo
3. There is a vendor folder in the form of: ~/foo/src/vendor (I'm not sure about this though,there might be a source code that doesn't have any kind of vendorized code, thus not vendor folder at all)

I have a function to find out the root project folder of a given go file, however I need to be sure I'm dealing with a gb project. Because it might be also a file inside a $GOPATH.

This clarifications are needed so I can make godef and many other tools automatically play nice with gb project. For example godef should jump to the vendored file inside the $PROJECT instead of to a file inside $GOPATH

In the docs it says: A gb project is a folder on disk that contains a sub directory named src/. This explanation is also true for any $GOPATH go project.

Sorry for the brief reply, mobile.

The project directory is ~/foo/, not ~/foo/src/. The project detection rule
says the project root is the parent of a directory called src/

Totally right, I've fixed the paths. The questions are still valid.

I'll take a look when I get home.

Relates issue #53.

I believe that gb info contains all the information needed.
