golang 1.5.1 use of internal package not allowed

[Ivan Hristov]

Hi guys,

I have the following error: imports gopkg.in/mgo.v2/internal/scram: use of internal package not allowed

I'm using glide with GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 environment variable and I have mng in a vendor folder right next to my main.go. I also followed this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/A3KA8SNjcp0 but still didn't get if I can fix it by myself or if a change in the library is needed. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivan,

What is importing gopkg.in/mgo.v2/internal?

I can build mgo fine with the environment variable set here:

$ GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go build

I am getting the same error with the latest release?

Is the mgo package still being supported?

The error provides no clue as to where it is or how to fix it.

 

~ $ go get gopkg.in/mgo.v2

package gopkg.in/mgo.v2

        imports gopkg.in/mgo.v2-unstable/internal/scram: use of internal package not allowed

~ $ go version

go version go1.6 windows/amd64

~ $

Yes, and there was a major release days ago which you might be interested on if you've been away for a while.

This behavior was introduced in Go 1.5. Please have a look at the documentation:

https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Internal_Directories

 

~ $ go get gopkg.in/mgo.v2

package gopkg.in/mgo.v2

        imports gopkg.in/mgo.v2-unstable/internal/scram: use of internal package not allowed

Nothing imports from unstable in the stable package. Your is not reflecting the actual v2 branch:

$ grep unstable * -r | wc -l

0

Try removing the content in there and re-getting it.

Thank you, Gustavo!  

I had to clear out the old versions and download from scratch.

Everything worked after that.   I appreciate your support.
