cmd/go: multiple GOPATH entries don't work as expected #3652

I found the issue. I had an empty test subdirectory at gocode/src/test. I infer that "go install" was installing "test" to the current directory because it found the empty test directory, and decided that the current directory must be outside a GOPATH. Does that sound reasonable? Removing the "test" subdirectory inside the first GOPATH fixes the issue. |

In this example, $HOME/gocode is my usual GOPATH. I created a new workspace in $HOME/gopath2. "go install" of a test package succeeds, but installs the 'test' binary to the working directory. "go install test" fails, as it seems to only look inside the first GOPATH when searching for package 'test'. ~/gopath2/src/test% cat main.go package main func main() {} ~/gopath2/src/test% GOPATH=$HOME/gocode:$HOME/gopath2 go install ~/gopath2/src/test% ls -l total 512 -rw-r--r-- 1 adg eng 28 May 22 14:36 main.go -rwxr-xr-x 1 adg eng 253968 May 22 14:39 test ~/gopath2/src/test% rm test ~/gopath2/src/test% GOPATH=$HOME/gocode:$HOME/gopath2 go install -x WORK=/var/folders/00/0sdwh000h01000cxqpysvccm0035qk/T/go-build124998625 mkdir -p $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test/_obj/ cd /Users/adg/gopath2/src/test /Users/adg/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/6g -o $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test/_obj/_go_.6 -p _/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test -D _/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test -I $WORK ./main.go /Users/adg/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/pack grc $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test.a $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test/_obj/_go_.6 cd . /Users/adg/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/6l -o $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test/_obj/a.out -L $WORK $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test.a cp $WORK/_/Users/adg/gopath2/src/test/_obj/a.out test ~/gopath2/src/test% rm test ~/gopath2/src/test% GOPATH=$HOME/gocode:$HOME/gopath2 go install -x test can't load package: package test: no Go source files in /Users/adg/gocode/src/test ~/gopath2/src/test%The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
