It sounds like your gorilla mux package might be corrupt. https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/mux#Router try deleting that package from your GOPATH and trying again.

🤦‍♂️ That worked. Sorry. Didn't even think about trying that. I know what happened now. Does Go have an environment manager like python or ruby?

[markbates]

lol no worries. And the answer is there are a ton of 3rd party ones, but they’re all terrible. . :( Use dep for package management. It’s bundler for go
