Can't build Terraform due to hcldec and stringer related error

[xiaozhu36]

I cloned terraform on master and want to develop new backend, but when I building terraform got the following error:

$ make
==> Checking that code complies with gofmt requirements...
go generate ./...
2017/12/11 09:48:21 Generated command/internal_plugin_list.go
stringer: checking package: decoder_spec.go:4:2: could not import github.com/hashicorp/hcl2/hcldec (reading export data: /Users/heguimin/Projects/go/pkg/darwin_amd64/github.com/hashicorp/terraform/vendor/github.com/hashicorp/hcl2/hcldec.a: invalid encoding format in export data: got 'v'; want 'c' or 'd')

tfdiags/diagnostic.go:11: running "stringer": exit status 1
make: *** [generate] Error 1

I've tried:

• installing it with go get github.com/hashicorp/hcl2/hcldec
• installing it with go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
• using terraform v0.11.0 and v0.10.8 with the same result
• using make OR make dev results in the same error

What am I doing wrong?

Go version 1.9.2 macOS 10.12.3 make 3.81

Hi @xiaozhu36,

You still seem to have some old build artifacts in there. Try just installing terrafrom itself, which should rebuild any outdated packages as well.

@jbardin thanks for your suggestion, it's my local directory permission issue when I build new package.
