Go Glide Error “The system cannot find the path specified”

Question

I am trying to manage my Go project with glide.

I executed glide update , but got The system cannot find the path specified error as below.

C:\path\to\myproject\src>glide update

Actually there is not C:\\Users\\myhome\\.glide\\cache\\src\\https-github.com-golang-protobuf\\ptypes directory, but I can not understand why this directory is missed.

My glide.yaml is as follows.

package: .
import:
- package: cloud.google.com/go
  version: ^0.7.0
  subpackages:
  - bigquery
  - civil
- package: github.com/gin-gonic/gin
  version: ^1.1.4
- package: golang.org/x/net
  subpackages:
  - context
- package: golang.org/x/oauth2
  subpackages:
  - google
- package: google.golang.org/api
  subpackages:
  - iterator
- package: google.golang.org/appengine
  version: ^1.0.0
  subpackages:
  - datastore
  - log
  - memcache
  - remote_api

How can I fix?

Answer 1

I found the github.com/golang/protobuf version 2402d76f3d41f928c7902a765dfc872356dd3aad which github.com/gin-gonic/gin wants does not has ptype . I added below lines to glide.yaml .

- package: github.com/golang/protobuf
  version: b50ceb1fa9818fa4d78b016c2d4ae025593a7ce3

b50ceb1fa9818fa4d78b016c2d4ae025593a7ce3 is the current newest commit.

The error has gone. But I am not sure this is the straightforward way because I still have the warning below.

[WARN]  Conflict: github.com/golang/protobuf rev is currently b50ceb1fa9818fa4d78b016c2d4ae025593a7ce3, but github.com/gin-gonic/gin wants 2402d76f3d41f928c7902a765dfc872356dd3aad

If another way is desirable, please advise me.
