moq errors with "cannot find package" looking for a path instead of a package name about moq

[iamtheddrman]

The main package imports the package containing MessageSender with an alias. The directory from which I'm running moq contains the parent package which imports the "models" package containing MessageSender without an alias.

I've tried running from the main package directory using the actual package name and the aliased name. I also ran it from the parent package of the "models" package with and without the -pkg parameter, and ran it from the models package directory with and without the -pkg parameter. All of them yielded the same error message (obviously with different directories):
cannot find package "C:\\Users\\username\\src\\{project}\\{parent}\\models" in any of: C:\Go\src\C:\Users\username\src\{project}\{parent]\models (from $GOROOT) C:\Users\username\src\C:\Users\username\src\{project}\{parent}\models (from $GOPATH)

It's very odd that the current directory is getting concatenated in whole to the GOROOT and GOPATH directories, rather than just the relative directories.

What are you importing the package as?

[surjith]

same thing hapening to me as well

[matryer]

Can one of you please submit a PR with a new test that fails highlighting your issue? The trouble is, moq as a tool operates within each environment so it’s possible it’s different for different people.

I think this is caused by GOPATH not being set. In recent versions of Go you don't need to set it anymore to build packages but Moq still seems to need it.
