"There is no VCS, only a tree in my own file system."
Hi Ignazio,
I think you could go down the Athens path if you wanted to, but I don't
think you need to do so.
I suspect the 'replace' directive I described in my earlier post in this
thread might be sufficient for what you describe, because it lets you map
from an import path like "example.com/me/foo" to something on your local
filesystem.
Here is a simple example. This is a 'hello' module that imports a trivial
'goodbye' module, both of which reside on my local filesystem. Neither is
checked in to a VCS. The 'hello' module also imports "rsc.io/quote" (just
to show a normal import grabbed from the Internet).
Here is the file structure on my local system, all outside of GOPATH:
/tmp/playground/hello
|-- go.mod
`-- hello.go
/tmp/playground/goodbye
|-- go.mod
`-- goodbye.go
Here is the 'go.mod' file for the main package showing a sample use of the
'replace' directive to translate an import path of "example.com/me/goodbye"
to a relative filesystem path on my local computer:
==> /tmp/playground/hello/go.mod <==
module example.com/me/hello
require (
example.com/me/goodbye v0.0.0
rsc.io/quote v1.5.2
)
replace example.com/me/goodbye => ../goodbye
That's the most interesting bit.
That 'go.mod' also happens shows a require for "rsc.io/quote" because I
happened to use that as well, where that code is obtained behind the scenes
from GitHub.
And to round out the example, here are the rest of the files:
==> /tmp/playground/hello/hello.go <==
package main
import (
"fmt"
"example.com/me/goodbye"
"rsc.io/quote"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(quote.Hello())
fmt.Println(goodbye.Goodbye())
}
==> /tmp/playground/goodbye/go.mod <==
module example.com/me/goodbye
==> /tmp/playground/goodbye/goodbye.go <==
package goodbye
func Goodbye() string {
return "Goodbye"
}
And running it from /tmp/playground/hello/hello.go shows:
$ go run .
Hello, world.
Goodbye
Hope that helps, or is at least food for thought,
