Vendor command only works if gb is in PATH
Opened this issue · 6 comments
chris-martin commented
I don't normally keep my Go bin directory in my PATH, so I tried to run gb vendor restore
as ~/go/bin/gb vendor restore
, and it fails in a rather confusing way:
$ ~/go/bin/gb vendor restore
FATAL: unknown command "vendor"
gb, a project based build tool for the Go programming language.
Usage:
gb command [arguments]
The commands are:
build build a package
doc show documentation for a package or symbol
env print project environment variables
generate generate Go files by processing source
info info returns information about this project
list list the packages named by the importpaths
test test packages
Use "gb help [command]" for more information about a command.
Additional help topics:
plugin plugin information
project gb project layout
Use "gb help [topic]" for more information about that topic.

gb-vendor is a separate command, it's a git style plugin. The expectation
is people will use the installation instructions on the website to build
both programs into the GOPATH at once.
I'm not sure what to do to resolve this issue.

Oh, I see. Is there a reason gb-vendor
can't work on its own instead of failing like this?
$ ~/go/bin/gb-vendor restore
FATAL: don't run this binary directly, it is meant to be run as 'gb vendor ...'
davecheney commented
It expects an environment variable set by gb to know the base of the
project. I guess it could be changed to detect the project itself, or at
least tell you the env var that it is missing.

Alright, thanks for clarifying. Fine by me if you want to close the issue.

I have $HOME/go/bin
in my $PATH
.
I also have $GOPATH
set to $HOME/go
.
Yet I'm getting the same error. Any thoughts?

Is there a $HOME/go/bin/gb ?
