Probably your Go development environment is setup wrong. See [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-dev-environment](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-dev-environment)

We are not currently seeing any failures in our CI systems (Jenkins, Travis, or AppVeyor).
