Doesn't work

[morrigan]

I've tried using this in several ways but always end up hitting the wall regarding directory setup.

1. When buildall is run without any flags, error is: No .go files marked with the mage build tag in this directory.
   Run output

2. with -d flag passed, magefile output error is: cannot find package "github.com/magefile/mage/mg"

Run output

Is there an example repo where this is used in some other way?

Hi @morrigan,

When buildall is run without any flags, error is: No .go files marked with the mage build tag in this directory.
with -d flag passed, magefile output error is: cannot find package "github.com/magefile/mage/mg"

That's because you checkout your repo in a custom path.

As I can see, you rely on go modules so you shouldn't use GOPATH anyway. Fyi, GOPATH is deprecated since Go 1.13.

Is there an example repo where this is used in some other way?

Hi @crazy-max, thanks for the answering. You are right, however I did try a few different approaches. Here is one without custom path.

I've managed to solve what I need using custom mage install but I think it might help someone else by looking into it.

@morrigan Yes that's because you don't run go mod download in your mage file. It's dangerous because it will not retrieve deps based on your go.mod/sum (stick versions) but instead your GOPATH (and download latest from internet if not found).
You can take a look here to find out how to use go mod download in your magefile.
