I have the following dir structure

~/test
 | lala
  - lala.go
 - main.go

And the contents:

main.go:

package main

import (
        "fmt"

        "./lala"
        _ "github.com/lib/pq"
)

func main() {
        fmt.Println(lala.asd)
}

lala.go:

package lala

import (
        _ "github.com/lib/pq"

        "github.com/gorilla/securecookie"
)

func asd() string {
        return string(securecookie.GenerateRandomKey(32))
}

Then i execute:

~/test$ go mod init asdasd.com/asdasd
~/test$ go mod tidy
~/test$ go run main.go

But i get

lala/lala.go:6:2: cannot find package

That line is the one with the securecookie, which is a remote path. I tried go mod init && go mod tidy in the lala dir but the error is the same.

Do not make use of relative paths in imports. Your import path should start with the project directory(The directory under src folder).

Change this

import  "./lala"

To

import  "asdasd.com/asdasd/lala"

  • Im not using GOROOT to manage this _project_. Im actually trying to break from GOROOT to prevent me from having to put the full url path on imports. I thought modules would help, but apparently, those are just as broken as GOPATH. – Axel Bayerl Jun 07 '20 at 14:38
  • @AxelBayerl, GOROOT is never used to manage a project. “How to Write Go Code” walks you through what you want step by step. – JimB Jun 07 '20 at 14:52
