# Go and project root |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compared to other languages go has some strange behavior regarding its project root settings. If you |
||||||
|
import a library called `somelib`, go will look for a `src/somelib` folder in all of the folders in |
||||||
|
the `$GOPATH` environment variable. This works nicely for globally installed packages, but it makes |
||||||
|
encapsulating a project with a specific version, or modified version, rather tedious. Whenever you go |
||||||
|
to work on this project you'll have to add its path to your `$GOPATH`, or add the path permanently, |
||||||
|
which could break other projects which may use a different version of `somelib`. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My solution is in the form of a simple script I'm calling go+. go+ will search in currrent directory |
||||||
|
and all of its parents for a file called `GOPROJROOT`. If it finds that file in a directory, it |
||||||
|
prepends that directory's absolute path to your `$GOPATH` and stops the search. Regardless of whether |
||||||
|
or not `GOPROJROOT` was found go+ will passthrough all arguments to the actual go call. The |
||||||
|
modification to `$GOPATH` will only last the duration of the call. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As an example, consider the following: |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
/tmp |
||||||
|
/hello |
||||||
|
GOPROJROOT |
||||||
|
/src |
||||||
|
/somelib/somelib.go |
||||||
|
/hello.go |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If `hello.go` depends on `somelib`, as long as you run go+ from `/tmp/hello` or one of its children |
||||||
|
your project will still compile |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||

SEARCHING_FOR=GOPROJROOT |

|

RES=$( find $SEARCH_DIR -maxdepth 1 -type f -name $SEARCHING_FOR | \ |
||||||
|
grep -P "$SEARCHING_FOR$" | \ |
||||||
|
head -n1 ) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if [ "$RES" = "" ]; then |
||||||
|
if [ "$SEARCH_DIR" = "/" ]; then |
||||||
|
STOPSEARCH=1 |
||||||
|

export GOPATH=$SEARCH_DIR:$GOPATH |

fi |
||||||
|
done |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd "$ORIG_DIR" |
||||||
|
exec go $@ |
