Go importing vendor dependencies issue when building a Go 1.7 project using govendor, dh-make-golang


I've been looking into building a go project into a debian package.

I've looked into dh-make-golang and I have a nice and shiny debian folder set up in my repository. When I try to use gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder though it errors out due to all of my dependencies not being found. It seems that dh-make-golang ignores the vendor folder when it copies everything from my project's git repository, and I use govendor so all of my dependencies are in there.

How can I resolve this dependency issue and build the project as a .deb package properly? For reference, the error I am getting is:

src/github.com/project/project/project.go:15:2: cannot find package "google.golang.org/grpc/grpclog" in any of: /usr/lib/go-1.7/src/google.golang.org/grpc/grpclog (from $GOROOT) /tmp/project/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/google.golang.org/grpc/grpclog (from $GOPATH)


Solution

  • Issue was a bug in dh-make-golang regarding importing vendor dependencies. It was just fixed today.
