I am having difficulty in importing a local go file into another go file.
My project structure is like something below
-samplego
--pkg
--src
---github.com
----xxxx
-----a.go
-----b.go
--bin
I am trying to import a.go inside b.go. I tried the following,
import "a"
import "github.com/xxxx/a"
None of these worked..I understand I have to meddle up with GOPATH but I couldn't get it right. Presently my GOPATH is pointing to samplego(/workspace/samplego).I get the below error
cannot find package "a" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/pkg/a (from $GOROOT)
/workspace/samplego/src/a (from $GOPATH)
Also, how does GOPATH work when these source files are imported into another project/module? Would the local imports be an issue then? What is the best practice in this case - is it to have just one go file in module(with associated tests)?
./main.go (in package main)
./a/a.go (in package a)
./a/b.go (in package a)
in this case:
main.go import "./a"
It can call the function in the a.go and b.go,that with first letter caps on.
No import is necessary as long as you declare both a.go and b.go to be in the same package. Then, you can use go run to recognize multiple files with:
$ go run a.go b.go
I just wanted something really basic to move some files out of the main folder, like user2889485's reply, but his specific answer didnt work for me. I didnt care if they were in the same package or not.
My GOPATH workspace is c:\work\go and under that I have
/src/pg/main.go (package main)
/src/pg/dbtypes.go (pakage dbtypes)
in main.go I import "/pg/dbtypes"
