为什么滑行期望设置GOPATH？

Question

I'm trying to install the dependencies for a project (on OS X), which involves calling glide up. However, glide fails consistently with the following error: [ERROR] $GOPATH is not set.. I'm using glide version 0.12.3 and go version 1.8.1.

Why does glide require GOPATH to be set?

I'm new to go and glide, but from what I can tell defining $GOPATH should be optional.

Why does glide require GOPATH to be set?

Because GOPATH wasn't optional until Go 1.8 and glide existed before 1.8. Glide was updated 25 days ago to handle this change, but the most recent release (0.12.13 and what you're using) was released in October of 2016
