I am running into issues setting up go for the first time on a Windows 10 machine.
I followed the instructions from the install. https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.10.windows-386.msi
When I CD to my project E:\goProjects\goWebApp\src
and run go build
, I receive the following error.
C:\windows\system32>go version
Not in an environment
C:\Users\MyUser~1\AppData\Local\Temp\go_there.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
My system variables are as follows:
GOPATH=E:\goProjects\goWebApp
GOROOT=C:\Go
PATH=C:\Go\bin
If I run go version from C:\Go\bin
everything works fine. Running go command from anywhere outside of this directory does not work. I have also tried restarting my cmd prompt and restarting my computer. Still no luck. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or know what I might have done wrong?
Turns out I had two go locations in my PATH (sort of). When I ran the command where go
from command prompt two paths were returned.
Something like this..
C:\tools\devTools\bin
C:\Go\bin\go.exe
There apparently was a bat file in devTools\bin
called go.bat. This was unrelated to golang itself, just coincidental naming unfortunately.This was executing instead of the go binary, which in return was throwing the random error with the Not in an environment
message.
To fix the issue I just removed the devTools path from my PATH variable for now.
