I'm setting up a new project using Go modules with this tutorial, and then trying to build it.
The module is located in a folder outside of the $GOPATH with the following structure:
example.com
├── my-project
├── ├── main
├── ├── ├── main.go
├── ├── go.mod
I've run go mod init example.com/my-project in directory example.com/my-project and created the go.mod file shown above.
main.go has basic contents:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main(){
fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
}
After attempting to run go build in directory example.com/my-project, I receive the following error message:
can't load package: package example.com/my-project: unknown import path "example.com/my-project": cannot find module providing package example.com/my-project.
I've also attempted to run go build in directory /, outside of example.com/my-project, and I get similar, failing results:
can't load package: package .: no Go files in ...
I'm probably getting some basic thing wrong, so thanks for your patience and any help you can give.
no need for the directory main, just move your main.go and go.mod to example.com/my-project and it will work.
Project root should look like:
.
├── go.mod
└── main.go
