can a sub-directory package of a module be imported?

[Jason E. Aten]

I have a files laid out like this (OSX):

~/go/src/github.com/user/fish/api/client/wanda.go

~/go/src/github.com/user/fish/go.mod with first line "module github.com/liked/movies/v2"

~/go/src/github.com/user/fish/cmd/demo/main.go that does: import client "github.com/liked/movies/v2/api/client"

~/go/src/github.com/user/fish/cmd/demo $ go build  ## with GO111MODULE unset, under go1.14.4. Also GOPRIVATE=github.com/user   and GOPATH=$HOME/go

 

go: finding module for package github.com/liked/movies/v2/api/client

main.go:4:2: module github.com/liked/movies/v2@latest found (v2.0.0-alpha.1), but does not contain package github.com/liked/movies/v2/api/client

So the demo/main.go import of the client package is not resolved. Is it possible, in general, to import a package within a module? 

If so, how does one do it?

[Volker Dobler]

Yes, of course.

Start of by deciding whether you want to use Go Modules or

GOPATH builds and set GO111MODULE accordingly. Your

setup uses the defaults which change from release to release

and doing it in a deterministic way.

Then: You did not show the package clause of wanda.go.

It is strange that cmd/demo doesn't recognize its own module.

Is there a fundamental reason to name the module github.com/liked/movies

while the repo is github.com/user/fish ?

Last: Did you try a replace directive?
