Google-cloud-go: PubSub libraries impossible to install on Windows

[guillaumeblaquiere]

Client

PubSub

Describe Your Environment

Windows 10, Go 1.12

Expected Behavior

I would like to compile and run my program. The same code works on my ChromeBook (with crouton, thus on linux)

Actual Behavior

Impossible to get all the dependent packages, and thus to compile and run my program

My imports are the following
import (
"cloud.google.com/go/pubsub"
"encoding/json"
"errors"
log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
"noHrEndpoint/processMessage/models"
"os"
)

[jadekler]

Are you able to compile any client? This feels like a GOPATH problem... Do you have go 1.12 installed? If so, could you try the windows equivalent of:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go.git
cd google-cloud-go
go build ./...

This should force the use of modules instead of GOPATH. If the above works, then it points to an issue with your environment. If it doesn't work, we'll need some more investigating.

Hi

No better result with your tip.

Here my commands according with your instructions:
C:>md tmp

C:>cd tmp

[jadekler]

Thanks for trying that. I see no errors in the above, so it seems like cloud.google.com/go builds fine on windows. Closing this issue.

---

I don't have a lot of windows tips for you, but one thing you could look at that's weird from your original message is that your directories appear to have relative paths in them:

C:\Users\gib\go\src\noHrEndpoint\processMessage>go install -v ./...
....\cloud.google.com\go\pubsub\apiv1\publisher_client.go:27:2: cannot find package 

It's not clear to me why "...." is there. Maybe that's a windows quirk.

Apart from that, you might ask in the gophers slack if any windows people have had this kind of problem. I suspect it's a problem with your $GOPATH or how you're importing packages.

[guillaumeblaquiere]

@jadekler, thanks for your help. I must be one of the rare mad people to use Go with Windows ! Don't worry if the problem still occur, my chromebook save me !

[guillaumeblaquiere]

@jadekler, I updated my project to support modules and now it's working, even on Windows ! Keep it in mind if the problem occur again !

[jadekler]

That's great to hear, thanks for the update!
