Vim-go: :GoDoc - no package to containing file

[colinchan15]

What did you do? (required. The issue will be closed when not provided.)

Use the :GoDoc command on any func such as: fmt.Println()

What did you expect to happen?

Show GoDoc of the function

What happened instead?

I receive the following error:

vim-go: no package to containing file /Users/colinchan/Go/src/github.com/colinchan15/hell o/hello.go

Configuration (MUST fill this out):

• vim-go version:
  latest master branch
  commit 1896764

• vimrc you used to reproduce (use a minimal vimrc with other plugins disabled; do not link to a 2,000 line vimrc):

" Begin of vim-plug manager
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
    Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'do': ':GoUpdateBinaries' }
" End of vim-plug manager
call plug#end()

• Vim version (first three lines from :version):
  VIM v8.1

• Go version (go version):
  go version go1.11.3 darwin/amd64

• Go environment (go env):

I've taken a look at issue #332 and have tried all solutions, but I'm still getting the same issue.

I think this may be a case insenstivity issue. The errors references /Users/colinchan/Go, but your GOPATH is /Users/colinchan/go. If you rename your /Users/colinchan/Go to /Users/colinchan/go, do you still experience the issue?

@bhcleek Good call on that, it completely slipped me! That's completely solved the issue. Thanks!

What's my problem?

vim-go: no package to containing file /home/user/Desktop/hello.go

(Bashrc)

!godoc fmt works fine though

@GetCurious You're not in $GOPATH.
