What did you do?

I want to run integration tests for my logger module by go test.
This is source code of this module: https://github.com/vodolaz095/vdlog

It doesn't works for Go version 1.6.

This is the build process for Golang 1.5 on other PC

What did you see instead?

[vodolaz095@ivory vdlog]$ go test

./console.go:7: can't find import: "github.com/fatih/color"
FAIL	github.com/vodolaz095/vdlog [build failed]

SUMMARY

On golang 1.6 i cannot go get github.com/fatih/color and that import github.com/fatih/color in source code.
On golang 1.5 i can do it.
Other system settings (like go env) are the same

This seems like something wrong with your install or environment. In any case, only Go 1.7 and Go 1.8 are supported by the Go team in the bug tracker.

For questions about Go, see https://golang.org/wiki/Questions.

[vodolaz095]

ok, i'll made travis integration for Go of 1.7 and 1.8 versions

[vodolaz095]

for 1.7 - https://travis-ci.org/vodolaz095/vdlog/jobs/182869988

The same

# github.com/vodolaz095/vdlog

./console.go:7: can't find import: "github.com/fatih/color"

FAIL	github.com/vodolaz095/vdlog [build failed]

[vodolaz095]

i do not think travis has bad environment...

[vodolaz095]

@bradfitz - please, reopen this issue. i do not think my environment is bad. Mainly because i get THE SAME result as travis.ci

[kardianos]

@vodolaz095 What might help is if you try to run go get again, (run it 2 or 3 times), does it then behave as expected?

[bradfitz]

This is not a Q&A forum for how to use Go.

For questions about Go, see https://golang.org/wiki/Questions.

But the answer is almost certainly that you're missing the -t flag to "go get". See https://golang.org/cmd/go/

The -t flag instructs get to also download the packages required to build the tests for the specified packages.
