(Yet another) GOPATH issue

[notpratheek]

This issue maybe a slightly funky one.

I have set my $GOPATH in ~/.bashrc as so:

# export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

and I have added the let g:go_bin_path in my .vimrc as so:

let g:go_bin_path = expand("~/go")

I tried with expand() and gave an absolute path as well.

Now, When I launch gvim from terminal and run :GoInstall it shows installed to /home/<myname>/go

but, when I launch gvim from i3wm as a keyboard shortcut, (I have bound Win Key + g to launch gvim), and run :GoInstall it shows a blank (as in vim-go: installed to _____ )

Is there anyway to fix ? Or, should I try with i3wm developer ?

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, gvim (I installed vim-gtk) version gives : 7.4.052 (Yeah, Its old ! 😅 ), running go version gives go version go1.4.2 linux/amd64 and I'm using the master branch of your plugin

Hi @notpratheek. What happens if you don't specify g:go_bin_path ?

[notpratheek]

@fatih

If I remove g:go_bin_path, and

1. from terminal open gvim and run :GoInstall it shows vim-go: installed to /home/<myname>/go
2. from the keyboard shortcut, running :GoInstall it shows vim-go: installed to ______

Oh btw, why are you calling :GoInstall? Did you mean :GoInstallBinaries ? It seems for the second option GOPATH is not set.

[notpratheek]

Sorry, I meant that ! 😅

When I launch from shortcut and run :GoInstallBinaries, It shows the error : vim.go: $GOPATH is not set

But opening gvim from terminal and running :GoInstallBinaries, It runs fine !

[fatih]

Got it, you need to check out Linux environment variables. This is really not vim-go related. I know but you are going to call :GoInstallBinaries only once. I can't say much or help you here :)

[notpratheek]

Ok ! Thanks @fatih 😄

I seemed to have solved the issue with the help from #i3 channel in IRC (but all and full credits to the good folks at #i3 IRC for coming up with the solution !).

To solve it, We need to add the $GOPATH and (the updated) $PATH variables to .xsessionrc, Log-out and re login.

That seems to solve this funky issue ! 😄

I'm leaving this info here, in case it might help someone else ! 😄

I solved starting gvim with: bash -lc gvim, it will wrap Gvim with the current .profileor .bashrc file.

Do you have Xcode developer tools installed?
