Hello!
I think, it's because of underscore.
Can you please describe step-by-step, what did you do, with which arguments did you executed cobra init, and content of main.go.

@BoGeM Sorry it takes me long time to reply.

I recreate it, on the go src directory I create a new folder then inside there, just execute cobra init then execute gotype pointing to main.go and got the same result.

I include a print screen of it.

And the content of the main.go is this.

And could you please write a content of samp\cmd\root.go?

[zer09]

@BoGeM here is the content of the root.go I put it on gist.

[n10v]

I understood, what's the problem.
The problem is in incorrect folder layout of your project.
Instead of F:GO\src\samp try to initialize the project in F:GO\src\github.com\zer09\samp. More about project organisation here.

Sorry to bother you so much, I pulling my hair right now, but I still get the same result.

[n10v]

No problem!
Send me please main.go and cmd\root.go.
Did you try to execute go run main.go?

[zer09]

Yes i did, and execute successfully. but my editor is keep complaining about it.
here is the files cobra test

Thanks

I became the same issue with gotype, but then I executed go install, this issue is gone.
The problem is in gotype, not in cobra.

[zer09]

hmm that was odd. I also do go install and the error was gone for that sample code, but running again gotype to other sample code the error still showing, until I do go install.
