Moden version of global requires GPATH file to be present about gogtags

[juntaki]

gogtags creates GRTAGS, GTAGS and GPATH.
Could you please give me an example of target source code for reproducing your problem?

You are right, GPATH file is generated. But nevertheless global complains that it is not found. I am using global - GNU GLOBAL 5.7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04, trying to generate Go tags for this project https://github.com/intel-go/yanff . I get three files generated: GTAGS, GPATH, GRTAGS. Here's what I get:

-rw-r--r-- 1 gashiman tdc_user  20K Feb  6 07:15 GPATH
-rw-r--r-- 1 gashiman tdc_user 272K Feb  6 07:15 GRTAGS
-rw-r--r-- 1 gashiman tdc_user  64K Feb  6 07:15 GTAGS
$ global -v --result=grep --from-here=43:test/framework/main/tf.go -- RunAllTests
global: GPATH not found
$ global -f GTAGS
global: GPATH not found.

Interesting that when I run gtags command, I get four generated files: GPATH, GRTAGS, GSYMS and GTAGS instead of three that gogtags generates.

gogtags requires GNU GLOBAL with sqlite3. Please check "GNU GLOBAL Installation for gogtags" at README.

I got the following result on intel-go/yaniff, with global 6.6.1.

juntaki@ubuntu ~/.g/g/i/yanff> gogtags
juntaki@ubuntu ~/.g/g/i/yanff> global RunAllTests
test/testsuite.go

Thank you for clarification. I was sure that Ubuntu builds global with sqlite support. I built my own binary from sources and it works with gogtags now.
I will try to investigate how to submit a patch to Ubuntu to fix this.
