[veenanr]

The package fails to build with missing package error -

cmd_connection.go:8:2: cannot find package "github.com/alicebob/miniredis/v2/server" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/vendor/github.com/alicebob/miniredis/v2/server (vendor tree) /usr/local/go/src/github.com/alicebob/miniredis/v2/server (from $GOROOT) /home/ibmadmin/git/veena-dev/go/src/github.com/alicebob/miniredis/v2/server (from $GOPATH)

hi,

If I import it with:

import (
    "github.com/alicebob/miniredis/v2"
)

it works fine for me. Are you using an older Go version?

[veenanr]

We are using 1.9.2 version of go

Also, if you look at github.com/alicebob/miniredis there is no v2 folder.

[alicebob]

The v2 comes from the new Go modules system, introduced in Go 1.11(?).

Since you use an older Go which doesn't support modules I would suggest using release https://github.com/alicebob/miniredis/tree/v2.7.0 which is the latest which should work for you. Thatone doesn't have the 'v2' directory.

[greyireland]

@alicebob Everyone ask this questions why not backward compatibility？ Its a real trouble. Can you support compatibility with v2.7.0 ? Thanks ~

[alicebob]

@greyireland: it seems like the easiest thing to do is to move everything over to a /v2/ directory, as described in point 2 in https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#releasing-modules-v2-or-higher

Thoughts?
