Error when using Go Import: "could not find part of the path"

Elements EBuild

Hi, I’ve had some fun with importing golang modules in my projects, but I stumbled on the following error while importing project GitHub - golang/protobuf: Go support for Google's protocol buffers

Here is the debug info: (sorry for the error message in Dutch - it’s “could not find part of the path…”)

ebuild --import-go-project GitHub - golang/protobuf: Go support for Google's protocol buffers

I can find the file:

C:\dev\wtr\bchdnet\github.com.protocolbuffers.protobuf-go.Import\github.com.protocolbuffers.protobuf-go.Attributes.pas

with contents:

namespace; [assembly:go.builtin.PackageName(“github.com.protocolbuffers.protobuf-go”, “main”)] end.

Curious. I’ll have a look.

Cool, glad to hear that! We haven’t had much feedback from users doing this on their end so far, so I’m happy to hear it’s been working for you (mostly ;).

Hmm. this imports fine here for me.

I assume C:\dev\wtr\bchdne is what you pass as --out: parameter (or is your current folder when you run the import)?

C:\dev\wtr\bchdnet\google.golang.org\protobuf.Import\google.golang.org\protobuf.encoding.prototext.Attributes.pas
C:\dev\wtr\bchdnet\github.com.protocolbuffers.protobuf-go.Import\github.com.protocolbuffers.protobuf-go.Attributes.pas

those are not the same paths; I dont have a “google.golang.org” in my import root here either, but it’s also not looking for it :(. The second one, which you have, I have also. Since Talk mangled the URL in the command like, I assume you’re passing https://github.com/golang/protobuf, correct?

I just dry-reviewed the code in question, and it’s fairy simple and I don

on an unrelated note, there are a few known compiler/GBL issues with building the protobuffer library that shoukld be addressed either in Friday’s upcoming build, or if not then hopefully the week after…

Bingo, I can repro this on Windows, but not on Mac. investigating what the difference could be, now.

Fixed for vNext. I can send you a new build later today, if you like.
