Hi @harshbajaj16,

The error mentions that $GOPATH is set to $GOROOT, what is the value of these environment variables?
You cah see it with echo $GOPATH and echo $GOROOT.

HI @jsoriano,

Thank you for your reply.

i didn't set GOROOT path and also checked with echo $GOROOT its showing nothing.

However, if i run go env command it is showing by default GOPATH and GOROOT as same.

> #go env

-----
GOPATH="/usr/local/go"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
-----

could you pls help that how to unset the same in go env ??

You will need to set a GOPATH for your user so packages can be installed there, you can for example create a gocode directory in your home and export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode.

Hi @Jasonespo,

Thank you for your reply!

It was helpful for me. However, after this step i was getting bin/gotestcover: No such file or directory error and test suite failed.

Solution:
I've copied the bin/ directory from go lang installed directory i.e. /usr/local/go/bin into $GOPATH ($HOME/gocode) directory to resolve this problem.

@harshbajaj16 you can also add the $GOPATH/bin directory to your $PATH instead of copying the binaries.

HI @jsoriano,

Thank you but i'm not able to understand this. because i've copied the full bin/ directory from /usr/local/go and as per you$GOPATH/bin directory should contains bin/ directory to set $PATH and for this i need to copy the bin directory in GOPATH.

Please let me know if i misunderstood you.

Harsh Bajaj

Just modify your PATH with something like export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH, so your terminal can find the commands installed in the GOPATH without needing to copy them :slightly_smiling_face:
