Hi, I spend my day trying to build a new project in Go using the new Go module system. I didn't succeed so I'm kind of upset because I never waste that much time for something that simple before.
The project : I try to use Go module only so no environment variable anywhere. There are 1 library and 1 executable (both in Go) in 2 different local folders. The library In /home/angryBoy/myLib : - go.mod - myLib.go - otherPkg |- otherPkg.go go.mod : > module xxx/myLib > myLib.go : its package name is "myLib" and it doesn't import "otherPkg" otherPkg.go : its package name is "otherPkg" and it does import "myLib" At this point if I build it : "$ cd myLib && go build" it's seems to be ok but in fact, it doesn't compile otherPkg.go (I add a compilation error inside to be sure) 1) Why doesn't it compile everthing like before ? How can I fix that ? The executable In /home/angryBoy/myBin : - go.mod - myBin.go go.mod : > module yyy/myBin myBin.go : its package name is "myBin" and it does import "xxx/myLib" and "xxx/myLib/otherPkg" But it fail at compilation ("$ cd myBin && go build") because it doesn't reconize "xxx/myLib". So, after a long time, I find something about "replace" keyword in go.mod so : go.mod : > module yyy/myBin require xxx/myLib v1.0.0 replace xxx/myLib => /home/angryBoy/myLib And this workaround kind of works for this specific import but it doesn't work for otherPkg. Moreover, if I add : > require xxx/myLib/otherPkg v1.0.0 replace xxx/myLib/otherPkg => /home/angryBoy/myLib/otherPkg It doesn't find the go.mod (of course there is not). But if I understand correctly it shouldn't have more than 1 go.mod in a repository. 2) Is the "replace" workaround the good way to allow local compilation ? If yes, how can I access my sub-package ?
