Glide: Glide is trying to fetch stdlib packages

[tommiv]

Hi. Let's say I have a hello world app in main.go file which imports stdlib packages

import (
    "fmt"
    "net"
    "os"
    "time"
)

glide update, as well as glide get gtihub/some/package are refusing to work with this log:

⇒  glide up

my go env is

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOOS="darwin"
GOPATH="/usr/local/opt/go/libexec"
GORACE=""

CXX="clang++"

glide version is

⇒  glide --version
glide version v0.11.1

glide.yaml is

package: .
import: []

It appears your GOPATH is set to a GOROOT location rather than a proper GOPATH. It picks up stdlib packages because the stdlib is in your GOPATH.

Oh wow. Thank you, it works now.
