cannot find package “github.com/gorrila/mux” in any of



The error message is:


app.go:9:3: cannot find package "github.com/gorrila/mux" in any of:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.10.3/libexec/src/github.com/gorrila/mux (from
$GOROOT)
/Users/myname/go/src/github.com/gorrila/mux (from $GOPATH)



I understand GOROOT is for compiler tools that come with installation, so I am not sure why it looks for mux there. But I do see mux in the second location in my directory I created for go code.



I know this question was asked once before and I tried to debug following the advice from that question.



I used homebrew and installed go version go1.10.3 darwin/amd64.


go1.10.3 darwin/amd64



Here is what I believe to be the relevant portion of my go env:


GOPATH="/Users/myname/go"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.10.3/libexec"
GOTMPDIR=""
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.10.3/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64"



I also set my bash profile, excluding GOROOT because that is no longer required:


export GOPATH="/Users/myname/go/src/github.com"
export PATH="/Users/myname/go/src/github.com/bin:$PATH"



And did source ~/.bash_profile.


source ~/.bash_profile



This setup was enough that I can run basic go programs like hello world. So I then tried to run code using the mux library.


mux



I first installed mux within the directory of my program (cd'd into /Users/myname/go/src/github.com/myname/restapi).


/Users/myname/go/src/github.com/myname/restapi



Then I ran:


go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux



I can see the folder exists in my finder. I also looked in terminal:


ls -l /Users/myname/go/src/github.com | grep gorilla
=> drwxr-xr-x 3 myname staff 102 Jun 29 14:35 gorilla



Then:


cd $GOPATH (/Users/myname/go)
go list ... | grep gorilla
=> can't load package: package ../..: no Go files in /Users



So I saw gorilla in the first command but not the second. However, I do see the gorilla directory further within my go directory, so I'm not sure what the issue is.



Running go build returns the package of concern:


go build


app.go:9:3: cannot find package "github.com/gorrila/mux" in any of:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.10.3/libexec/src/github.com/gorrila/mux
(from $GOROOT)
/Users/myname/go/src/github.com/gorrila/mux (from $GOPATH)



I am not sure why it is looking for mux within the usr directory. Is there an issue with any of my paths? I keep checking that last path to see that the mux directory is there.





Packages are looked up in GOROOT first, because that's where the stdlib lives. go list doesn't work at the root of GOPATH because the go tool works on packages. Does the directory /Users/myname/go/src/github.com/gorrila/mux actually exist, and does it contain .go files?

go list


GOPATH


/Users/myname/go/src/github.com/gorrila/mux


.go





@JimB Looking in my directory in the terminal I see that /Users/myname/go/src/github.com/gorrila/mux does exist and it contains files like mux.go, mux_test.go, route.go, etc

It looks like you misspelled "github.com/gorilla/mux" – it has one "r" and two "l"'s. (Carefully compare the go get command you quoted and the import statement in your source file.)


"github.com/gorilla/mux"


go get


import





Got it, I did misspell the toolkit in my file. Thank you.

Can you try to set your .bash_profile in this way:


.bash_profile


export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN





Hi, I set that exactly within my .bash_profile and am receiving the identical error as listed above.
