Using gorilla mux on appengine

[zeroc8]

Hey guys, I'm trying to use gorilla mux on appengine.  I've copied the gorilla source directory to my app directory.
Appengine seems to find sessions.go but not context.go, although the file is there, as can be confirmed by cat /home/zeroc8/Projects/AppEngine/myapp/hello/code.google.com/p/gorilla/context/context.go

compile error:
/home/zeroc8/Projects/AppEngine/myapp/hello/code.google.com/p/gorilla/sessions/sessions.go:24: can't find import: "code.google.com/p/gorilla/context"

2012/04/25 09:14:40 go-app-builder: Failed building app: failed running 8g: exit status 1

Any idea why that happens?

What directory is your app.yaml in? The synthesised packages are named
for the directory relative to where that is.

My app.yaml is in in the myapp directory.

This was my initial layout:
- myapp
-- app.yaml
-- hello
-- hello/code.google.com ....

After your message, I tried the following, couldn't get that to work either.
- myapp
-- app.yaml
-- hello
-- code.google.com ....

That's how it should work. You put packages in the root directory of
your app (where app.yaml is), so that rootPath + importPath = where
the package is.

There's something else wrong there but I have no good guess of what it
is.

I tried your suggestion on my home desktop again, and it worked.
Thank you!

I haven't used gorilla in appengine but I think that there is special context object for appengine...

http://gorilla-web.appspot.com/pkg/gorilla/appengine/context/ 

Maybe in gorilla google group you will get more help:

Thanks, but I'm only using mux for now. It works, I had it in the wrong directory.
Also, gorilla contains a dev folder that contains examples, this folder needs to removed.
But now everything works fine. I love it.
