I just had the same problem.
I fixed it by adding go bin directory to $PATH: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Dev/go/bin
Make sure you execute first: :GoUpdateBinaries

[casatwy]

Thanks! Your answer works! @sabala12

[iximiuz]

Just be careful and don't use ~ in the path to go/bin.

Wrong way: export PATH=$PATH:~/path/to/go/bin
Right way: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/path/to/go/bin

[fanux]

Not work for me.
.zshrc :

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/:/Users/fanux/go/bin:/Users/fanux/go/bin:/Users/fanux/work/bin
export GOPATH=/Users/fanux/work
export GOROOT=/Users/fanux/go

macvim

already :GoUpdateBinaries

[lutaoact]

I can access self defined package, but cannot access go standard package, I guess something is wrong with my GOROOT. I set GOROOT, it works.

export GOROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.10.8/libexec/go
