Go server not showing IntelliSense of internal imports

Question

I'm using golang and GoLand(Jetbrains)IDE for development on UBUNTU. My Go path is /usr/local/go and my Project Directory is at /Home/GoLandProjects with bin, src, pkg directories and my project directory.

go version go1.16.7 linux/amd64

My GOPATH is set like this in .bashrc:

export GOPATH="$HOME/GolandProjects"
export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin:/usr/local/go/bin"

Everything is good, If I run my code its totally works fine but my import is making issues, not showing Intellisence-suggestions. Imports from within the project are not working.

import (
    "context" //woking
    "errors" //woking
    "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson" //woking
    "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/primitive" //woking
    "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo" //woking

    "my-server/helpers" //not woking - not showing intelliSense and in Red Color 
    "my-server/models"  //not woking - not showing intelliSense and in Red Color 

    "time" //woking
)

Code is running but no intelliSense of internal imports.

My go.mod file:

module my-server

// +heroku goVersion go1.16
go 1.16

What Go version? And can you show the contents of the `go.mod` file? — mkopriva, Sep 04 '21 at 06:29
Add your `go.mod` file to the question, and show where the `helpers` and `models` packages live relative to the go module. — mkopriva, Sep 04 '21 at 06:31
If your code compiles fine outside of the IDE then the problem is with the IDE. You need to configure it accordingly. I can't be more specific as I do not use the GoLand IDE. — mkopriva, Sep 04 '21 at 08:10
@ZainUrRehman Can you share your directory structure by running this command `ls -alR` ? — Hamza Anis, Sep 04 '21 at 20:32
What options are enabled under Preferences/Settings | Go | GOPATH and Preferences/Settings | Go | Go Modules? — s0xzwasd, Sep 06 '21 at 14:22

GOPATH is not same as go mod. Modify your go.mod file to locate your local package using replace.

replace package => path/to/package

@ZainUrRehman Did your `my-server/helpers` and `my-server/models` have go.mod? Delete it if true. – p1gd0g Sep 04 '21 at 07:30
there is no go.mod in those directories. my-server is the project dir and helper and models are the sub directories. main.go and go.mod is also in the project dir – Zain Ur Rehman Sep 04 '21 at 07:46
can you explain the replace? How can I do it step by step – Zain Ur Rehman Sep 04 '21 at 07:46
@ZainUrRehman Could u git push a example repo which match this issue? It is hard for me to explain by words. – p1gd0g Sep 04 '21 at 07:51

@ZainUrRehman don't try to "fix" the `go.mod` file if you are able to compile the app outside of the IDE. Instead, fix the IDE. – mkopriva Sep 04 '21 at 08:11
Yeah, I can compile and run outside the IDE – Zain Ur Rehman Sep 04 '21 at 09:01
