Golang - error `cannot find package`

Question

After using go get to get on github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 I get an error stating "golang.org/x/net/context".

I'm not sure as to where to look to resolve this issue

Answer 1

Did you download the source code for the context package?

One common way to do that is to use the bundled tool go get by doing:

go get golang.org/x/net/context

This should import the source code for the context package into your Go workspace which is defined by the GOPATH environment variable. (In your case the package's code will be downloaded to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/net/context .)

Alternatively you can do a go get on the parent package to include all of its dependencies automatically without needing to find and download them one at a time. For example:

go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

Answer 2

Go to you github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 folder. And run go get ./... to install all dependencies into your project folder.

As your project's dependencies should come from github It will install all the dependencies into $GOPATH/src/github.com
