godep save deletes every package from vendor folder and Godeps.json file

[kristijan-ujevic]

Expected behavior

godep save should update vendor folder and Godeps.json file with new packages

Actual behavior

1. fresh git checkout
2. godep restore
3. godep save
4. everything is deleted

Steps to reproduce behavior

see above

godep version output

godep v74 (linux/amd64/go1.6.2)

go version output

go version go1.6.2 linux/amd64

Contents of Godeps.json file

after running godep save it just contains the head section with no packages

This is a critical bug IMO.

It's likely that there is a problem with your $GOPATH. godep will only do
this if it doesn't find any packages. Also if you are using godep from
brew, make sure to uninstall it as it's known to cause problems.

echo $GOPATH

output:
/home/MyUsername/go

Also pwd. Is there any difference in case?
The other thing may be the pkg spec passed to save. By default it is '.'.
If there are no files to analyze in the current directory then Godeps.json
will be blank and everything will be deleted from vendor. What is the
layout of the project?

We're seeing the same problem. We have one codebase but multiple starting points in: project/cmd//main.go. We don't have any .go files in the project root. Unfortunately this seems to confuse godep as described in this issue.

I am closing this issue because the repo is going to be archived.

I do fear this repo is being archived way too soon.
Doesn't look like dep is going to be the tool used going forward as it has too many flaws, and vgo isn't ready yet.
Teams still rely on this package, and bugs like this are critical.
