looping trying to add package

[iamyihwa]

Hello, I had an error that was similar to the one mentioned here. However after running go get -u ./..., I get following error 'go: github.com/facebookresearch/Clinical-Trial-Parser/src/cmd/cfg: looping trying to add package',

[salkola]

Does go get ./... give the same error?

I updated my Go to version go1.14.4, but it does not reproduce your problem.

[iamyihwa]

Yes it gives same error message.
I just noticed that perhaps other materials were also missing This below is the entire error message. go: finding module for package

I assume go buid ./... etc. won't work either. Are you able to run any other go programs?

Go had the following issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/30394. I wonder if updating your Go version and cleaning up the packages would help. In addition, I can only suggest to delete the project, to clone it again, and to make sure that Go is setup properly.

[iamyihwa]

I have installed the most recent version (1.14.4) as was in here, and followed the instructions here to set up. I could run hello world example (also from above instruction to set up page example)..

cdsw@9tdvk9bwif7uyk7n:~$ go build hello.go
cdsw@9tdvk9bwif7uyk7n:~$ ./hello
hello, world

What do you mean by go setup properly?

Currently go is set up at ~/local/go/bin

cdsw@9tdvk9bwif7uyk7n:~/local/go$ which go
/home/cdsw/local/go/bin/go

and Clinical Trial Parser is at ~/local/go/src/github.com/facebookresearch/Clinical-Trial-Parser

cdsw@9tdvk9bwif7uyk7n:~/local/go/src/github.com/facebookresearch/Clinical-Trial-Parser$ ls
bin  CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md  CONTRIBUTING.md  data  doc  LICENSE  README.md  script  src

GOPATH is set up such that

cdsw@9tdvk9bwif7uyk7n:~/local/go/src/github.com/facebookresearch/Clinical-Trial-Parser$ printenv GOPATH
/home/cdsw/local/go

I just set things up on Monday and I don't know how I can do things differently.

[salkola]

That looks ok. You could try Installing Go somewhere else than in /home/cdsw/local/go because your workspace is also in /home/cdsw/local/go. Would installing Go in /usr/local/go (=GOROOT) help?

[iamyihwa]

The thing is I cannot install at /usr/local due to permission issue. I have instead set the GOROOT also

cdsw@13bibixulsfuz8ec:~/local$ printenv GOROOT
/home/cdsw/local/go

However am getting the same error.

[salkola]

I can reproduce your problem when I install Go in the Go workspace. To fix this, you could, for example, set up your directories so that GOROOT=/home/cdsw/tools/go and GOPATH=/home/cdsw/workspaces/go (or /home/cdsw/local/...). In addition, you may have to clean up /home/cdsw/local/go.

Thank you @salkola! Issue got solved!! I will close the issue thank you for the help!
