Go Project in IntelliJ Not Resolving Dependencies

I have IntelliJ CE and I just imported a Go project that I cloned from GitHub. On my Mac, I have some folder organization where I group projects that I work on based on the technologies. For example., in my Projects folder on my Mac, I have the following sub folders:

- go-projects
- scala-projects
- rust-projects
- ruby-projects

So I obviously checked out the Go project in the go-projects folder which looks like this:

Joes-MacBook-Pro:go-projects joe$ ll
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 28 07:51 bin/
drwxr-xr-x  19 joe  staff   646B Oct 24 06:48 golang-restful-starter-kit/
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 28 07:51 pkg/
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 27 10:23 src/

And if I get into the src folder, it looks like this:

Joes-MacBook-Pro:go-projects joe$ cd src
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  6 joe  staff   204B Nov  7 19:14 github.com/
Joes-MacBook-Pro:src joe$ cd github.com/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 28 08:20 btcsuite/
drwxr-xr-x  16 joe  staff   544B Nov  7 19:16 eth-client/
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 27 10:24 ethereum/
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe  staff   102B Oct 28 07:51 tools/
Joes-MacBook-Pro:github.com joe$

Here is my Go related environment settings:

# For Go projects, we set the GOPATH
export GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
export GOPATH="/Users/joe/Projects/Private/go-projects"
export GODEPS="/Users/joe/Projects/Private/go-projects/bin/godep"

Now I import one of the Go project into IntelliJ and I get to see the following error saying that it is not able to resolve a directory as it can be seen in the screenshot below!

How can I get rid of this error? Any ideas?

Solution

  • For golang projects, it's good to have Goland installed ( also a product of JetBrains )Goland Download. Moreover for the above concern you can use:

    go get *the_project_to_clone*
