Go get problem when using testcontainer-go

Question

I was trying out the sample of the page https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainer-go

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "testing"

    testcontainer "github.com/testcontainers/testcontainer-go"
)

func TestNginxLatestReturn(t *testing.T) {
    ctx := context.Background()
    req := testcontainer.ContainerRequest{
        Image:        "nginx",
        ExposedPorts: []string{"80/tcp"},
    }
...
}

but when I put the code in the file main.go under <home>/go/src/my-sample and call go get, I just get this error:

#

What am I doing wrong?

I reproduced the problem as well, but I did manage to build and run the test with the following steps:

Create a my_package directory outside of the $GOPATH tree.

Create a mypackage_test.go file with the following content:

package main

import (
    "testing"

    testcontainer "github.com/testcontainers/testcontainer-go"
)

func testNginxLatestReturn(t *testing.T) {
    req := testcontainer.ContainerRequest{
        Image:        "nginx",
        ExposedPorts: []string{"80/tcp"},
    }
    t.Log(req)
}

go mod init mypackage
go test
