Bug with case insensitive imports

[dane]

Hello everybody,

So I have two files in my package which both import the go-sdl package.

file1:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-SDL/sdl"

file2:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-Sdl/sdl"

This got me some duplicate definition errors. Maybe someone who knows how to do it could file an issue report :)

Best Regards

David

Wrt the specs, I think this bug is in the user's source code, not in
the compiler.

Shouldn't at least one of them give something like "unresolved import
error"? If you have actually two seperate libraries with same name you
can import them like;

import ttemplate "text/template"
import htemplate "html/temlpate"

and you can use ttemplate for "text/template" and htemplate for
"html/template" without name collision.

Maybe I did not make the issue clear.

In both files i want to import the same package. And individually it does work, because the import paths are case insensitive.

However if i write the import paths differently I get errors.

This works:

file1:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-SDL/sdl"

file2:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-SDL/sdl"

So does this

file1:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-Sdl/sdl"

file2:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-Sdl/sdl"

But this does not work

file1:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-SDL/sdl"

file2:

import "github.com/banthar/Go-Sdl/sdl"

Import paths are not case insensitive, your file system might be. Use
the correct casing all the time.

Well, that would explain the behavior, since I am using MacOsX.

Welcome to HFS+ (a case insensitive, case preserving filesystem). My
strong recommendation would be to avoid (and avoid packages that have)
import paths that contain upper case letters.

Just use whichever path works with "go get". (Ie, the first one.)

your upper/lower case is different in each. Go-SDL and Go-Sdl.  Make them the same.
