go executable not found

[thejchap]

Hi,
For some reason vim-go can't find the go executable, even though it's available:

$ vi
vim-go: go executable not found.
Press ENTER or type command to continue

$ which go
/usr/local/bin/go

Installed using Homebrew on Yosemite

Any thoughts?

It uses Vim's executable function to find if the executable is existing or not. Yosemite is quite well, probably Vim's internal doesn't play nice with Yosemite. Need to look for it, however I do not use Yosemite therefore it's quite difficult for me to test it. For now you can remove the checking at here: https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/blob/master/plugin/install.vim#L38

Thanks, removed the check. Will leave up to you if you want to leave open or not. I appreciate the speed reply

Let's close this, vim-go is used for several OS's and Yosemite is not in public available state. Plus it makes me feel bad when a issue is not solved :) I'm using already MAC OS X and after Yosemite is up I'm going to check it again.

I had the same problem, I have fixed by adding let g:go_bin_path to the vimdc

NeoBundle 'fatih/vim-go'
  let g:go_disable_autoinstall = 1
  let g:go_fmt_autosave = 1
  let g:go_bin_path = expand("$HOME/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.2.1/global/bin/")

What gives

:echo executable('go')  

for you ? It should output a 1. For me it outputs a 1 and also its in my PATH.

[lindemannrichard]

Okay, it seems that the latest version of vim-go has fixed the problem.

I do not have to do it anymore:

  let g:go_bin_path = expand("$HOME/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.2.1/global/bin/")

The same error on Sierra. @lindemannrichard The trick didn't worked for me. Any ideas?

[inancgumus]

False alarm. It works.
