Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

go version go1.9.1 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

YES

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

amd64
Windows 10 Pro

What did you do?

My code :
https://play.golang.org/p/1PkuUDceTO

I have searched below errors on Google, nothing helpful at all. What is " . " package? I written as package main instead. Where the " . " comes from?

What did you expect to see?

Compiled or run with no errors.

What did you see instead?

package main: cannot find package "." in: D:\OneDrive\Projects\Project-Go\sendmail

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

ALTree · 2017-10-25T15:53:14Z

What command did you run? And where did you run it? And where is the code you posted located (filename and path)?

ankanch · 2017-10-25T16:08:13Z

I tried both ‘go run xxxx.go’ and ‘go build xxxx.go’ , however both failed with errors like that. Now, not only this file,all my other files raise error like this one. I guess there is something wrong with my go program?

There must be something wrong with your Go toolchain and/or your environment. I suggest you remove everything and reinstall Go, that may fix your issue.

If you need help, please see the Questions wiki page; it has a list of good places for asking questions (we only use the github issue tracker for tracking confirmed bugs, and I think the issue here is in your environment).

I'm closing this, but we can always re-open later if it turns out this was a Go bug.

I hope that's not your password, but if it is, you should change it quick :(

ankanch · 2017-10-25T23:43:07Z

Hi, I tried to reinstall Go, bu the error still there.
Even if it's just a simple hello world program.

package main

import ("fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Hello, world.\n")
}

alexbrainman · 2017-10-26T00:42:56Z

Even if it's just a simple hello world program.

According to your picture, you build your program with "Visual Studio Code". But this issue list does not for "Visual Studio Code" support. You have to show the command that you run ("go build" or whatever) to get that error message. Did you read https://golang.org/doc/code.html ? Did you follow what is suggested there before trying to use "Visual Studio Code" ?

Here's my result:

The error message is the same, that "." package cannot be found.

alexbrainman · 2017-10-26T05:05:35Z

@ankanch I tried reproducing your error, and I cannot. Do you have test.go file in d:\onedrive\projects\project-go\practice ? What is the contents of test.go file?

Alex

ankanch · 2017-10-26T08:51:13Z

@alexbrainman Here's my practice folder and contents of test.go`.

BTW,I have resolved this problem by delete practice folder and recreate it as well as test.go.
That's wired.

Is the "." package stands for current directory?

Thanks anyway.

davecheney · 2017-10-26T09:04:37Z

You cannot write this statement. import “.” As it would create an recursive import loop with the current package.

Okay, thank you. Then that would be very wired that I have NOT import package ".", but it give my the error "package . not found" . On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 5:05 PM, Dave Cheney <notifications@github.com> wrote:

it's a very wired problem ,I solved it by recreating the directory and files.

I had this issue as well (Windows 10 & go1.10). The error comes from not setting up your GOPATH in the environment variables See here in the installation docs and [here](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SettingGOPATH#windows for setting up your GOPATH).
To confirm that you have set up your workspace directory correctly enter the directory using cd path\to\workspace and running go list

mohanson · 2018-04-08T07:37:38Z

Hello, I know this issue has been closed, but I have encountered the same problem. I found that I cannot compile and run any go code in the OneDrive folder, but when I moved to another path, the problem solved. From go version go1.10.1 windows/amd64

$ cd C:\Users\mohan\OneDrive\sandbox  && go run run.go
package main: cannot find package "." in:
        C:\Users\mohan\OneDrive\sandbox

$ cp run.go C:\\tmp\\run.go && go run C:\\tmp\\run.go
Hello World!

ALTree · 2018-04-08T10:52:34Z

@mohanson from the comment above:

The error comes from not setting up your GOPATH in the environment variables

is GOPATH set in your environment? If not, have you tried setting it?

mohanson · 2018-04-08T11:24:35Z

@ALTree I did not set GOPATH. The Golang automatically creates a new folder named "go" in my user path, so since switch to the v1.10.x I will no longer set it. I just tried set GOPATH=MY_USER_PATH/go, the problem has not been solved.

mohanson · 2018-04-09T03:43:13Z

@ALTree I found Golang doesn't think the Onedrive folder(and any sub folder in it) is a directory, the IsDir() function returns False:

package main

import (
	"log"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	f, err := os.Open("C:\\Users\\mohan\\OneDrive\\sandbox")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	i, err := f.Stat()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	log.Println(i.IsDir()) 
        // 2018/04/09 11:34:37 false
}

But in python: python -c "import os.path; print(os.path.isdir('C:\\Users\\mohan\\OneDrive\\sandbox'))" returns True.

I think this may be one of the reasons for the problem.

davecheney · 2018-04-09T04:00:32Z

/cc @alexbrainman I'm almost certain this is a duplicate of another OneDrive related issue.

/cc @jessfraz do you know anyone inside Microsoft who might be able to assist.

ALTree · 2018-04-09T09:16:36Z

#22579 (os: IsDir doesn't work with Windows OneDrive), possibly?

If that's the case, it should be fixed on tip (to be go1.11).
