glide cannot detect vcs from local package

Created on 3 Jul 2017 · 10Comments · Source: Masterminds/glide

Don't know why glide need to fetch a local package. As following, "forecasting_service/app" is a file (source code ) in my project, another file called it. Why glide fetch it and throw error?

You can add ignore to glide.yaml
````
ignore:

forecasting_service
````

I am also encountering this problem. Adding
ignore:
- forecasting_service

does not affect the problem

Resolved the issue. After going though the Glide code understood the root cause. Its not the glide issue. Glide must have flag to ignore server certificates.
Solution: Get Common CA certificates
Ubuntu - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/ca-certificates
Similarly search for other OS and install and try.

dpkg -i ca-certificates_20170717_16.04.1_all.deb
dpkg -i ca-certificates_20160104ubuntu1_all.deb
