Get missing package golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode import cycle

I'm trying to reproduce this go issue, but can't easily build their example:

$ cat main.go
package main
import ("fmt"; "golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode")
func main() {
    res, err := unicode.UTF16(unicode.BigEndian, unicode.UseBOM).NewDecoder().String(" ")
    fmt.Println(res, err)
}
$ go mod init golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode
go: creating new go.mod: module golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode
go: to add module requirements and sums:
    go mod tidy
$ go mod tidy 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
$ go build main.go
package command-line-arguments
    imports golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode
    imports golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode: import cycle not allowed
Solution 
  • go mod init golang.org/x/text/encoding/unicode

    I suspect you should not initialise a project with a module name using the same name as your import.

    Try:

    go mod init test
