Hello, fellow Gophers! I have some code for which "go get -t -v" is suddenly failing for Go 1.6, complaining about a reference to the "context" package (added in 1.7).
I haven't changed any of my imports, so this means a dependency has been updated to suddenly require Go 1.7. I'm trying to figure out which package that is, and the output of "go get" doesn't seem to help much. I develop on a Mac with OS X Sierra, so I sadly cannot really use Go 1.6 to troubleshoot in my local environment (the failing Go 1.6 build is running in Travis.) What I have tried is cleaning out my GOPATH and running the same "go get" command. Since I am running Go 1.7, it succeeds of course. *But *I then used the godepgraph tool to figure out what was referencing the context package. And *nothing* was, except for golang.org/x/net/context (which does so conditionally, and would not depend on it in a Go 1.6 environment). So I'm back to square one at figuring out which package is suddenly Go 1.6-averse. So if anyone has advice or other strategies for pinpointing my problematic dependency, I would be grateful. I am certain that "go get" has the information I seek -- it just doesn't print it out, even with the "-v" flag. For reference, here's the output of "go get". Based on lines around the error message, I guessed it may have been golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm, but I don't see any imports of "context" in that package: github.com/golang/protobuf (download) Fetching https://golang.org/x/net/context?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/net/context?go-get=1 (status code 200) get "golang.org/x/net/context": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"golang.org/x/net", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://go.googlesource.com/net"} at https://golang.org/x/net/context?go-get=1 get "golang.org/x/net/context": verifying non-authoritative meta tag Fetching https://golang.org/x/net?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/net?go-get=1 (status code 200) golang.org/x/net (download) Fetching https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1 (status code 200) get "google.golang.org/grpc": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"google.golang.org/grpc", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go"} at https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1 google.golang.org/grpc (download) Fetching https://golang.org/x/text/secure/bidirule?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/text/secure/bidirule?go-get=1 (status code 200) get "golang.org/x/text/secure/bidirule": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"golang.org/x/text", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://go.googlesource.com/text"} at https://golang.org/x/text/secure/bidirule?go-get=1 get "golang.org/x/text/secure/bidirule": verifying non-authoritative meta tag Fetching https://golang.org/x/text?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/text?go-get=1 (status code 200) golang.org/x/text (download) Fetching https://golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm?go-get=1 (status code 200) get "golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"golang.org/x/text", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://go.googlesource.com/text"} at https://golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm?go-get=1 get "golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm": verifying non-authoritative meta tag *package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)* Fetching https://google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status?go-get=1 (status code 200) get "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status": found meta tag main.metaImport{Prefix:"google.golang.org/genproto", VCS:"git", RepoRoot:"https://github.com/google/go-genproto"} at https://google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status?go-get=1 get "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/rpc/status": verifying non-authoritative meta tag Fetching https://google.golang.org/genproto?go-get=1 Parsing meta tags from https://google.golang.org/genproto?go-get=1 (status code 200) google.golang.org/genproto (download) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
