can't run withmock

$ withmock go test

ERROR: Failed to get name for 'encoding': External program 'go' failed (exit status 1), with output: can't load package: package encoding: no Go source files in /usr/local/go/src/pkg/encoding

ls -a shows all the go packages there. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

What packages are you importing? Do you have a local package called "encoding"?

[karim-eclipseio]

No, I am importing encoding/base64, encoding/json, both part of go.

This patch will make it run:

I'm definitely confused. For that patch to have any effect suggests that there is a line 'import "encoding"' somewhere. Replacing 'fmt.Println("Skipping encoding...")' with 'fmt.Println(filename, ": Skipping encoding...")' should be instructive.

The error you describe suggests that you are trying to import the withmock/lib library in the code under test (or the test code itself) - which isn't supported and won't work.

Thanks for the tip, all is working now.

Turns out, I was indeed importing withmock in my test code, instead of gomock.

Also, we use gcfg (https://code.google.com/p/gcfg/) which seems to work with/detect different versions of go. This file was the culprit: https://code.google.com/p/gcfg/source/browse/go1_2.go, which if I were using go 1.2 would work as https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse#hg%2Fsrc%2Fpkg%2Fencoding exists. I am unsure if you want to look at the // +build comments in withmock, let me know if I can help.

Hopefully this is fixed now ...

[karim-eclipseio]

It is fixed in my env. Thanks!
