goapp vet - no such tool "vet"

[David Cruz]

I'm trying to run "goapp vet . " on my project, but it's not working.

I'm getting:

$ goapp vet .

  go tool: no such tool "vet"; to install:

  go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet

Then trying to install it, shows another error:

$ goapp get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet

  can't load package: package golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet: no buildable Go source files in .../go_appengine/goroot/src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet

I'm running go version go1.4.2 (appengine-1.9.20) darwin/amd64

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

 Just in case anybody else happens to run into this problem... 

Install go (brew install go) 

Symlink goapp vet to go vet (https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=11401)

$ cd go_appengine/goroot/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64

$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.4.2/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/vet vet

$ goapp vet .

Now it works perfect with Atom + go-plus

I still have no idea why goapp vet doen't work out of the box.

I had the same problem with my win10 installation of go_appengine (v. 1.9.28)

The problem was/is that under "/go_appengine/goroot/src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet" (which is under GOROOT) there is some left over stuff (a directory with whitelist) but no code.

Deleting that and the next call to get the vet package succeded.

Cheers,
