Another possible reason for the message      can t load package         no buildable Go source files    Is when the source files being compiled have       build ignore   In which case the files are ignored and not buildable as requested This behaviour is documented at https   golang org pkg go build

Make sure you are using that command in the Go project source folder  like  Users 7yan00 Golang src myProject   One alternative  similar to this bug  is to use the -d option  see go get command  go get -d   The -d flag instructs get to stop after downloading the packages  that is  it instructs get not to install the packages   See if that helps in your case   But more generally  as described in this thread   go get is for package s   not for repositories  so if you want a specific package  say  go text encoding  then use  go get code google com p go text encoding   if you want all packages in that repository  use     to signify that   go get code google com p go text

To resolve this for my situation   I had to specify a more specific sub-package to install   Wrong   go get github com garyburd redigo   Correct   go get github com garyburd redigo redis

You should check the  GOPATH directory  If there is an empty directory of the package name  go get doesn t download the package from the repository   For example  If I want to get the github com googollee go-socket io package from it s github repository  and there is already an empty directory github com googollee go-socket io in the  GOPATH  go get doesn t download the package and then complains that there is no buildable Go source file in the directory  Delete any empty directory first of all

If you want all packages in that repository  use     to signify that  like   go get code google com p go text

I had this exact error code and after checking my repository discovered that there were no go files but actually just more directories  So it was more of a red herring than an error for me   I would recommend doing      go env   and making sure that everything is as it should be  check your environment variables in your OS and check to make sure your shell  bash or w e   isn t compromising it via something like a  bash profile or  bashrc file  good luck
