Cannot deploy to Google App Engine due to bad import, not in my code

I am trying to deploy an application to Google AppEngine using the beta deploy command: gcloud beta app deploy app.yaml and I have even tried to add: --verbosity=info to get more information.

Nevertheless I keep getting this error: Failed parsing input: parser: bad import "unsafe" in golang.org/x/sys/unix/dirent.go

From what I can tell the error does not come from my code and the only external libraries I use is

  • gorilla/mux
  • sirupsen/logrus

Which from what I can tell also do not use any unsafe code. My local go version is go version go1.8.3 linux/amd64 and I am using a standard environment on Google AppEngine.

Furthermore, locally the code runs as it should.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Solution

  • The github.com/sirupsen/logrus package is using the golang.org/x/sys/unix package.

    See: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/search?q=unix&type=Code

    You can't use on Google AppEngine standard any package that uses unsafe or imports other package that use it.
