Project with local packages imported can't auto-complete

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a new Go project.
2. Make a "test.go" file and put code in it; see that auto-complete is working 
fine.
3. Make a new folder named "hello" and put a "hello.go" file in it; see that 
auto-complete in the "test.go" file still works.
4. Import "hello" in "test.go"; see that auto-complete fails (for all 
auto-complete, not only the "hello" functions).

Error message received when auto-complete fails:
"Content Assist" did not complete normally.  Please see the log for more 
information.
java.lang.NullPointerException

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Auto-complete used to work prior to the current version (before the Go1 
switchover)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GoClipse 0.7.1.v363
go version weekly.2012-03-27
Kubuntu 11.10 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Simply commenting out the project-local imports will fix auto-complete.  This 
issue didn't exist prior to the package directory changes (it worked back when 
"src/pkg/hello" was the right way to go).

Also useful to know:  I did a nice fresh install of gocode as well by deleting 
the old gocode binary and re-running "go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode".  gocode 
runs nicely except for this specific project-local package issue.

Attached is the simple example that fails.

Extra useful information:  If I try to import a package that doesn't exist, it 
also fails, like the example below.  If you remove the "blahblahblah" line, it 
works fine.  It sounds like it thinks that project-local packages are 
non-existent.

The packages and binaries still build just fine, the only problem is in 
auto-complete.  Maybe it's an environment variable problem?  Or a gocode 
problem?

=====

package main

import (
  "blahblahblah"
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  fmt.<press-ctrlspace-here-will-fail>
}

I downloaded your project and also tried your "blahblahblah" example, but 
unfortunately, cannot recreate the problem you're seeing.  I am using Eclipse 
Version: 3.7.1, Ubuntu 11.04, & GoClipse 0.7.1.v363

Can you run gocode from the command line or vi?

Have you set the gocode path variable in the Go preferences?

The gocode path variable is set.  If it wasn't then no auto-complete would have 
worked at all.

It looks like 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/goclipse/h02L5ghwaMg has the 
exact same problem.

Where is your GOROOT pointing to on your system?

Original comment by st...@kryas.com on 3 Apr 2012 at 6:02

[GoogleCodeExporter]

GOROOT=/usr/lib/go

"go" is installed at /usr/lib/go/bin/go.  "gocode" is installed at 
/usr/lib/go/bin/gocode.

The previous version of GoClipse worked perfectly with this configuration.  The 
only variable that changed was the version of GoClipse.

I removed my Eclipse settings (~/.eclipse) and my workspace, installed 
GoClipse, and tried again with the same result.  I set GOROOT to the same value 
as above and set GOCODE to the right path as well.  I made no custom settings 
to anything else, I'm running a stock Ubuntu-distro install of Eclipse 3.7.0.

If I get a chance tonight, I'll reconfigure my environment with Go under 
/usr/lib and debug it.

If you are on Ubuntu (which it seems you are), I recommend using Gustavo 
Niemeyer's PPA for Go at https://launchpad.net/~gophers/+archive/go

That's what I use and it is rather fantastic.  Plus you'd have exactly the same 
environment I have, which might help.  I follow the "golang-weekly" package.

Are you running Eclipse from the command line?  If not, will you try that

I ran eclipse from the command line with and without the -debug flag.  Nothing 
seems to be of interest.  Nothing seems is reported when the auto-complete 
fails.  Here is the -debug output:

I updated with the newest version of GoClipse and it looks like everything is 
working now.  I didn't change a thing except update GoClipse, so it looks like 
something you did fixed it.  Well done!  If I find a place it's still failing 
I'll report it, but so far so good.

Thank you for the feedback.  I am going to close this issue.  If it reoccurs, 
please file a new issue.
