在golang示例中运行测试时“不允许导入周期”

Question

I'm trying to setup tests for my functions in golang, but getting the following error while running go test ... from the console:

import cycle not allowed package runtime imports unsafe imports runtime

Thinking that it was me I cloned the golang example project and ran go test reverse_test.go, but getting the same error. Both my GOPATH and GOROOT environment values are set to C:\go, where I installed Go. I'm on a Windows 8.1, 64bit machine.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Answer 1

Make sure to do a "go get github.com/golang/example/hello" (as mentioned in github.com/golang/example) once your GOPATH is set to a proper path.

See "How to Write Go Code":

The GOPATH environment variable specifies the location of your workspace. It is likely the only environment variable you'll need to set when developing Go code.

You should see your github/golang/example inside $GOPATH/src
