I'm missing something fundamental. I have set GOROOT to my current directory, which contains my go source files but I can't test a trivial program
treesort_test.go:11:2: package treesort is not in GOROOT (C:\Program Files\Go\src\treesort) It looks like the value of the GOROOT variable is set to a different value inside go itself, and not to the value that the shell sees. (the program is treesort from the Kernigan and Donovan book) // Copyright © 2016 Alan A. A. Donovan & Brian W.

Sorry for the long PWD, but I'm trying to keep these trivial programs in github and the path seems to be required. pfarrell@Alien15:~/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd$ echo $GOROOT /home/pfarrell/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd pfarrell@Alien15:~/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd$ go test treesort_test.go # command-line-arguments treesort_test.go:11:2: package treesort is not in GOROOT (C:\Program Files\Go\src\treesort) FAIL command-line-arguments [setup failed] FAIL pfarrell@Alien15:~/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd$ echo $GOROOT /home/pfarrell/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd pfarrell@Alien15:~/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd$ printenv GOROOT /home/pfarrell/whome/sandbox/gows/src/github.com/pfarrell51/cmd This has to be something trivial that I'm doing wrong Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
