cmd/go: "go test" cannot resolve external dependencies within src directory #18606

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T04:48:01Z

Description

When running 'go test' from a path that conforms to normal golang directory structure (/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/src/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder), build dependencies aren't getting resolved.

I am able to successfully run 'go test' from a directory within my $GOPATH as long as it isn't within the src directory (/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/cb-event-forwarder).

When running 'go test -x -v' from the conformant (/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/src/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder) directory the pkg dependency directory is not set when attempting to compile:

/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7.4_1/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/compile -o $WORK/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder/_test/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder.a -trimpath $WORK -p main -complete -buildid bf76e4715ca73e0af88f96d25285fab208f5e2fb -D _/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/src/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder -I $WORK -I "" -pack ./amqp.go ./bundled_output.go ./cb_api.go ./config.go ./file_output.go ./http_behavior.go ./json_message_processor.go ./main.go ./net_output.go ./pb_message_processor.go ./s3_behavior.go ./syslog_output.go ./utils.go ./event_processing_test.go ./json_message_processor_test.go ./leef_encoder_test.go ./leef_output_test.go

Notice the -I "" -pack . I can only deduce this is the issue when comparing to running 'go test' from a directory path (/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/cb-event-forwarder):

/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7.4_1/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/compile -o $WORK/_/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/cb-event-forwarder/_test/_/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/cb-event-forwarder.a -trimpath $WORK -p main -complete -buildid bf76e4715ca73e0af88f96d25285fab208f5e2fb -D _/Users/builduser/Projects/golang/cb-event-forwarder -I $WORK -I /Users/builduser/Projects/golang/pkg/darwin_amd64 -pack ./amqp.go ./bundled_output.go ./cb_api.go ./config.go ./file_output.go ./http_behavior.go ./json_message_processor.go ./main.go ./net_output.go ./pb_message_processor.go ./s3_behavior.go ./syslog_output.go ./utils.go ./event_processing_test.go ./json_message_processor_test.go ./leef_encoder_test.go ./leef_output_test.go

TLDR 'go test' works when within $GOPATH as long as it isn't within the src directory, otherwise it can't find dependencies. I am one of the maintainers of the golang code in question. Thank you for your time.

The underscore in the package name reported by the go tool says you haven't set GOPATH correctly.

Sorry, you have to live in GOPATH's world if you want to use the go tool.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T04:52:34Z

I thought my GOPATH is set. My go env says it is set to "GOPATH="/Users/builduser/Projects/golang"

davecheney · 2017-01-11T04:53:38Z

The fact that go get worked says to me that you to have GOPATH set, but you're trying to use the go tool to build code that is not inside your GOPATH. Sorry, perhaps this was the issue reported.

Sorry, what I think you're trying to do isn't supported, the go tool will try to resolve each package relative to what it can find inside GOPATH and will build your code against the copy inside GOPATH.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T05:00:09Z

All dependencies are within my GOPATH.

I can reproduce on Linux and Mac. The Linux VM was clean. Any ideas on what could the problem possibly be?

I have updated build instructions.

My best guess is GOPATH is not set correctly, or your source is not within GOPATH.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T05:47:25Z

I just tested golang version 1.6.4 on linux and everything works fine. So there might be some regression in 1.7 that is causing 'go test' to not see these dependencies. Here is the go version that worked for me.

$ go version

go version go1.6.4 linux/amd64

This is probably why this issue popped up for us, since my colleague and I both recently upgraded to 1.7.4

davecheney · 2017-01-11T05:49:28Z

That error is coming from cmd/compile, not the go tool. What's

ls -al $GOPATH/pkg/linux_amd64/github.com/streadway/

print ?

If you rm -rf $GOPATH/pkg then it will probably work. Normally the go tool should rebuild any package that doesn't match the current compiler, but in this case it doesn't appear to have done so.

davecheney · 2017-01-11T05:52:01Z

What does

ls -al $GOPATH/src/github.com/streadway/

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T05:57:51Z

so does this mean prior to doing go test, we need to delete all the packages? Or are we doing something wrong that has changed in 1.7?

davecheney · 2017-01-11T05:58:24Z

Ok, here's my best guess for what happed.
$GOPATH/pkg/linux_amd64/github.com/streadway/amqp.a was newer than any of the source files, so it was not scheduled for a rebuild by the go tool.
The compiler opens that file to read the symbols and finds it isn't the right version and rejects it.
The go tool should have scheduled amqp.a for rebuild, but it didn't.
The compiler should have given a better error, but it didn't.

Recommendation: use go install not go build, and you won't have issues like these in the future.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T06:00:48Z

so always do a go install prior to doing go test?

davecheney · 2017-01-11T06:09:37Z

It kinda depends anywhere you'd use go build, use go install If you're buiding in ci, it doesn't matter 'cos your work will be throwing away at the end of the build, but on your local machine it'll reduce the time to build and test.

One thing, switching back and forth between go versions is known to cause problems with stale .a files. Going forward works fine, but going backwards will confuse the compiler about which .a files are stale. Always delete your GOPATH/pkg directory when downgrading go.

Yea I made sure I started fresh.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T17:47:42Z

same error after deleting line 4 in leef_encoder_test.go:

$ go test
# github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder
./amqp.go:5: can't find import: "github.com/streadway/amqp"
FAIL	github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder [build failed]

Also going to add that go build builds successfully

With the tip, I experience the following. After I fixed the the local import, go test succeeded. Is there a possible for you to try it with Go 1.8 beta?

$ go get github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder
# github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder
../src/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder/pb_message_processor.go:19: undefined: sensor_events.CbEventMsg
../src/github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder/pb_message_processor.go:33: undefined: sensor_events.CbEventMsg
$ go test
# github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder
leef_encoder_test.go:4:2: local import "./leef" in non-local package
FAIL	github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder [setup failed]

Use the following commands to download and use the 1.8 beta:

$ go get golang.org/x/build/version/go1.8beta2
$ go1.8beta 2 download
$ go1.8beta test

I believe this is a build issue with an old installed library, wondering if 1.8 handles it already.

askthedragon · 2017-01-11T21:57:44Z

go 1.8 beta2 seems to have fixed my external dependency issue that was present in 1.7.4. This issue can be marked as closed as it has apparently been fixed in 1.8.

$ go1.8beta2 test
# github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder
leef_output_test.go:4:2: local import "./leef" in non-local package
FAIL	github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder [setup failed]

Thanks all for your time

rakyll · 2017-01-11T22:01:44Z

so always do a go install prior to doing go test?

No, please report if you see any weird behavior.
