Nope. I didn't solve it. The code compiles because of GO111MODULE=auto
and I did not notice that when I posted yesterday. The code does not
compile when GO111MODULE=on
The simple instructions that I suggest be added to the documentation
would benefit from having a section called
"Common error messages and how to fix them"
One of these errors that the documentation would be improved by
addressing would be
package packagename is not in GOROOT (usr/local/go/src/packagename)
Another could be
go: cannot find main module, but found .git/config in
/home/name/go/src
to create a module there run
go mod init
When I try "go mod init" in my /home/rob/go/src, I get an error
go: cannot determine module path for source directory /home/rob/go/src
(outside GOPATH, module path must be specified)
How do I specify my local code?
The documentation is weak in these areas.
-----------------------------------------------------
I solved my issue by restarting the terminal program. The code now
compiles. And I also tested on Win10 and go 1.16.
I'm glad I asked my question, because nothing I read said that all I had
to do to use modules is to go into each code directory I use and
go mod init <module-name>
Perhaps that simple instruction could be added to the documentation?
It would help complete idiots (or dummies) like me.

---------------------------------------------------
Now I have a curious problem. Most of the code I've written is
compiling. I'm using go 1.15.8 under ubuntu. I did
I'm logged into ~/go/src
export GO111MODULE=on
cd multack This is my code
go mod init multack
cd ..
Now I'm back in ~/go/src
go install multack
I get an error saying that "package multack is not in GOROOT
(usr/local/go/src/multack)"
If I do
go run multack/multack.go
That works.
What does this error message mean?
Thanks again.
