buffalo new <project> fails looking for golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter

[kevin-cantwell]

I always get this error trying to create a new project:

package golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter: cannot find package "golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter" in any of:
	/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7.1/libexec/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/kevincantwell/gdrive/Code/gopath/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter (from $GOPATH)
Error: exit status 1

The current package name in the tools repo is golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15. It looks like buffalo is only compatible with older versions.

It looks like you're using home brew, is that correct?

Buffalo is tested using Go 1.7 and tip, so it's definitely compatible with the latest versions of Go.

I, personally, have always had a number of problems using home brew for Go development. Downloading the prebuilt packages from golang.org have never caused these sorts of problems.

Can you try using one of those packages? Or using docker?

I fond this issue in the gore project:

x-motemen/gore#63

Can you try updating your local copy of gore, that might be it.

@markbates Thank you, updating gore did the trick! I'm off and running again 💯

Woot!! I'll add this to the docs on gobuffalo.io. Thanks!
