Cannot find package ".../wangzitian0/..."

[adomokos]

I'd like to test drive this project locally. I followed the instructions listed on the README.
Tried to run go test -v ./... -cover, but I received this error:

hello.go:9:2: cannot find package "github.com/wangzitian0/golang-gin-starter-kit/articles" in any of:
	/Users/xyz/Programming/Go/projects/src/github.com/gothinkster/golang-gin-realworld-example-app/vendor/github.com/wangzitian0/golang-gin-starter-kit/articles (vendor tree)

Why is the hello.go file is referencing a different repo's model here? Was it a incorrect merge? Am I missing something?

[adomokos]

I also pulled wangzitian0's repo and that worked.

[wangzitian]

@adomokos The two repo are totally same, caused by I'm lazy to write relative path. Govendor should auto download the packages to src/ from github.

[adomokos]

I wonder what I did wrong with govendor, it never pulled in those dependencies.

Feel free to close this issue if you think it's not something you would be concerned about.

I got the same problem and solved it by replacing all the "wangzitian0/golang-gin-starter-kit" to "golang-gin-realworld-example-app" in the application.

PS.
I have created a symlink under the $GOPATH/src/github.com to point to the directory I cloned this repo.

golang-gin-realworld-example-app -> /<directories ... >/learning/golang-gin-realworld-example-app/

@mike-jianxin-mo The correct way might need to use relative path here. I did not know the project will fork to two place while I wrote this project, and used absolute path. Sorry for the mistake.

[BrutalSimplicity]

@wangzitian0 And how might one go about using a relative path? After a quick search, it appears that relative path imports aren't a thing in Go (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38517593/relative-imports-in-go). All imports must start via the $GOROOT. Wouldn't it be better to rename the imports in this repository to the folder they would be cloned into by default "golang-gin-realworld-example-app"? That way this isn't an issue for people cloning the repository.

this need to be merged asap.
