Windows中的GOPATH错误“ GOPATH条目是相对的； 必须是绝对路径：”

Question

I am new to GO and getting an error when initializing GOPATH in windows. In my project folder is

C:\Users\kamin\Documents\pm-manager

and i am try to set path in environment variable (GOPATH)but it is getting an error go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: ":/cygdrive/c/Users/kamin/Documents/pm-manager". Run 'go help gopath' for usage.

Answer 1

Ran into same problem. Fix is quite simple: just specify the drive in front of the entire path name. The issue occurred because I was following the instructions on Go "Getting Started" page and set GOPATH=%HOMEPATH%\Work . The problem was that %HOMEPATH% was defined as a relative path (\Users\MyName), and so GOPATH now pointed to \Users\MyName\Work . All I needed to do was set GOPATH=c:\Users\MyName\Work and the error goes away.
