I'm using IntelliJ with the go plugin to write my application.
version of Go: go version go1.7beta2 darwin/amd64
Operation system: OSX El Capitan 10.11.5
Intellij Version: 2016.1.3
Go Installation Location: /usr/local/go
Go Pkg Location ($GOPATH): /Users/ufk/projects/go
when I open terminal, browse to my application's main source file, and type go it compiles it properly without any errors.
but when I try to Run the program using Intellij, which also compiles it, i get the following error:
/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/link: cannot open file /usr/local/go/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/codegangsta/negroni.a: open /usr/local/go/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/codegangsta/negroni.a: no such file or directory
lookgs like it's looking for the negroni package in the location when I have go installed, and not where I the 3rd party packages are installed according to $GOPATH. My project is configured to use $GOPATH, and the real time error of the intellj editor doesn't complain about packages that are not installed which means that Intellij does check the $GOPATH variable.
so what am i missing ?
thanks
Hi :)
I noticed something new... I have 2 go projects, one of them is the JSON Api Server, and the other is for the web server. The project that is causing issues is the Api Server. now, the web server also uses and imports negroni, but the problem occurs only on the Api Server Project.
so I decided to go wild and delete the .idea and iml file from the Api Server, reopen it with intellij, and see what happens... welp, what happens is that now it complains about a different module.
/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/link: cannot open file /usr/local/go/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/jingweno/negroni-gorelic.a: open /usr/local/go/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/jingweno/negroni-gorelic.a: no such file or directory
the thing is.. that my web server project also uses negroni-gorelic and things are fine!
I tried downgrading go from 1.7beta2 to 1.6.2, deleting the content of the modules ($GOPATH/pkg and in src directory github.com and golang.org) then I got all the modules again.. tried to compile with intellij and the results are the same.
so... hope this helps to further investigate the issue.
