Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

  1. What version of Go are you using (go version)?
go version go1.5.3 linux/amd64

but present in latest golang too i think.

  1. What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/james/code/gopath/"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib/golang"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/golang/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=""
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"
  1. What did you do?
    I ran:
export GOPATH=something
GOPATH=whatever go generate
  1. What did you expect to see?
  2. What did you see instead?

I expected go generate to use the $GOPATH whatever, instead it uses something

This is obviously a huge issue because if you want to override the GOPATH in a script, this causes completely unexpected results!

Alternatively, it could be that go generate, isn't falling back to the second term in the $GOPATH search term when more than one is specified...

Timed out in state WaitingForInfo. Closing.
