Godep not working in docker container

Question

I am new to dockers and trying to make a docker container for a simple Go application. I am using Godep for dependency management.

Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM pottava/golang:1.5

RUN go get github.com/tools/godep \
      && rm -rf /go/pkg /go/src

ADD ./ /go

ENV GOPATH /go
RUN godep go build -v -o ./bin/main ./src/main.go

When I try to build the image, I get the following error:

...

Step 5 : ENV GOPATH /go

If you set GOPATH, that means you define a go workspace

Executing godep "in a valid package" means executing it in:

$GOPATH/src/a/package

Make sure to execute godep within a existing go project, cloned in GOPATH/src.

Simple test: try that same command on your computer (not in a docker image being built), and when it is working, reproduce the setup and commands in your Dockerfile.
