no buildable Go source files

[oren]

I follow the readme and get:

go get -d github.com/nii236/nii-finance
package github.com/nii236/nii-finance: no buildable Go source files in /home/oren/p/go/src/github.com/nii236/nii-finance

also when i fork it and run go build i get the same error. i assume i first need to cd into some folder but not sure.

Thanks for the comment!

The whole project runs off docker-compose, and there are no buildable go source files in the root folder. The buildable folders are in each of folders in ./service.

Try and remove the original nii-finance folder first, then go get -d again. The -d flag just downloads so it shouldn't complain. I just tried it myself and I got the same error until I removed the nii-finance folder first.

Turns out the go get tool with the -d flag complains if there are no main.go files in the root folder.

I've updated the instructions so it says go get -d github.com/nii236/nii-finance/... and it seems to work well now.
