What did you do?

go test ./...

What did you expect to see?

test succeed

What did you see instead?

vendor/github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis/pool.go:28:2: use of internal package not allowed
vendor/github.com/smartystreets/assertions/equality.go:11:2: use of internal package not allowed
vendor/github.com/smartystreets/assertions/collections.go:7:2: use of internal package not allowed
vendor/gopkg.in/mgo.v2/auth.go:38:2: use of internal package not allowed
vendor/gopkg.in/mgo.v2/bson/json.go:7:2: use of internal package not allowed

those package are all ok, the only different is the files above import a path include "xxx/xxx/internal/xxx", how does the error happen?

for example, the vendor/gopkg.in/mgo.v2/bson.json.go:7:2 is look like:

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/base64"
	"fmt"
	"gopkg.in/mgo.v2/internal/json"
	"strconv"
	"time"
)

If I removed the vendor folder, the go test run well, BTW, I build the vendor folder using govendor tool.

[chenjie4255]

I don't know what happened?,
I just move my project path from$GOPATH/src/git.moreless.io/valkyrie/ to $GOPATH/src/git.moreless.io/tide/valkyrie/ and change all import path, all the thing go well.
can somebody help me to understand ?

[chenjie4255]

damn it, It broke again even in path GOPATH/src/git.moreless.io/tide/valkyrie/

[chenjie4255]

I remove the vendor and use govendor to rebuild it, go test -v ./... run well, the interesting thing is that the vendor folder doesn't have any changes in it(by git status).
this happened before, but this way does not work for every time.
ok, I will go the the form for help.

which says that the type (in gopath) doest not match the type in govendor folder.

That is because you're mixing non-vendored with vendored types. The packages are different, so the types are different.

It looks like you need some help with the vendoring setup in your project. I'd suggest taking this to a forum, as this issue tracker is only for bugs. See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Questions
