The error message is really incomplete, and therefore confusing. It should be "package ... is not in GOROOT or any element of GOPATH". I had written an answer based on an environment using GOPATH before carefully looking at your screenshot (please paste text rather than using screenshots). It seems you have a go.mod file, so GOPATH is not relevant. If using modules rather than GOPATH, the error message is probably correct, as GOPATH is not used except as a place to cache downloaded modules under the "$GOPATH/pkg" directory. As best as I can tell (and I am still using GOPATH, so I may be completely wrong), a Go program in a module can only use web-aware import paths (except for standard library packages). Perhaps someone else can clarify that, and how to set up your directory structure. I think there was recent thread with a similar problem, but I did not pay much attention to it. Personally, I think that requiring (as opposed to allowing) web-aware import paths is a terrible (no, I mean really, really terrible) design. On the other hand, if you were intending to use GOPATH, but it was incorrectly set and so the go tool kindly (???) created a go.mod file for you, I can probably help you figure out your problem. First, erase go.mod. Then, ensure GOPATH is what you expect (use "go env GOPATH", rather than "echo $GOPATH"). If that doesn't lead you to an answer, post the output from go env and the go command you are using that gives the error (go build, go test, etc.). ...Marvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
