Here is my main file (server.go):
package main
import (
"net/http"
"routes"
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", routes.Handler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)
}
My routes module is in the same directory:
package routes
func Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// stuff...
}
When I run go run server.go I get this error:
server.go:6:5: cannot find package "routes" in any of:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6/libexec/src/routes (from $GOROOT)
~/server/src/routes (from $GOPATH)
When I place the code in routes.go into my server.go file, it runs fine. I cannot import the module. I have tried setting the $GOPATH variable to my current directory, I've tried rearranging my project directory to mimic the one here. I'm running out of options. It is strange that a language with such wide adoption has such poor documentation on how to do something that is relatively easy in almost every other language. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
