+#### $GOPATH/$GOROOT error when building in WSL
+
+If you get this error when building Agones in WSL (`make build`, `make test` or any other related target):
+
+```can't load package: package agones.dev/agones/cmd/controller: cannot find package "agones.dev/agones/cmd/controller" in any of:
+       /usr/local/go/src/agones.dev/agones/cmd/controller (from $GOROOT)
+       /go/src/agones.dev/agones/cmd/controller (from $GOPATH)
+```

+- Are your project files on a different folder than C? If yes, then you should either move them on drive C or set up Docker for Windows to share your project drive as well
+- Did you set up the volume mount for Docker correctly? By default, drive C is mapped by WSL as /mnt/c, but Docker expects it as /c. You can test by executing `ls /c` in your linux shell. If you get an error, then follow the instructions for [setting up volume mount for Docker](https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows-and-wsl-to-work-flawlessly#ensure-volume-mounts-work)
