git: no submodule mapping found in .gitmodules

[zchee]

Hi,
I tried go get github.com/digitalocean/doctl/cmd/doctl, occur error. the log is below.
FYI, it's the first fetch and also tried rm -rf doctl and re-fetch use git directly. same results.

fatal: no submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'vendor/github.com/vektra/errors'

I don't know doctl repository history(did use submodule for the manage vendoring previous?), but it might exist junk submodule data on git tree.
go get command automatically fetch submodule with --recursive flag, and git clone --recursive will occur.
If git clone only, maybe not occur.

Anyway, If I'm not wrong(my git environment), I think we should solve it.

Or, it's github.com/vektra/errors issue?

I have the same error. No comments from Digital Ocean?

It is known issue. As far as I know, @bryanl was looking into it, but I don't know did he made any progress with it. There was even some PRs that tried to fix it but it was out of luck.
You can just run command again and it should install it without any problem.
Take look at #42 for more insight about it.

Have the same issue here. command:
$ go get github.com/digitalocean/doctl/cmd/doctl
exits with message:
$ fatal: no submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'vendor/github.com/vektra/errors'

$ go version
go version go1.6.2 linux/amd64

this hack #47 (comment) is enough to get the tool built, but from a production perspective skipping the tests is not really an ideal solution.

@xmudrii Ohh. Today, I understood that cause.
I'll send pull request later(maybe).
