build & install clippy problem

[bmullan]

I thought I'd try to build clippy and see what it does...

$ go version go version go1.11.5 linux/amd64

Clone repo - ok, cloned into ~/Downloads/clippy

go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/packr/v2/packr2 - ok

packr2 build -fails with

~/Downloads/clippy$ packr2 build ./packr2/packed-packr.go stat ./packr2/packed-packr.go: no such file or directory Error: exit status 1 Usage: packr2 build [flags]

Flags: -h, --help help for build

Global Flags: --ignore-imports when set to true packr won't resolve imports for boxes --legacy uses the legacy resolution and packing system (assumes first arg || pwd for input path) --silent silences all output --store-cmd string sub command to use for packing -v, --verbose enables verbose logging

solution seems to be to change into the ./packrd directory then execute

~/Downloads/clippy/packrd/packr2 build -- returns to prompt w/no error msgs

but ... not sure if it did or didn't build ... it was very quick

~/Downloads/clippy/packrd/packr2 install -- returns to prompt w/no error msgs

but ... not sure if it installed anything as I couldn't

$ sudo find / -name clippy

returns nothing but the ~/Downloads/clippy directory name and no executable anywhere else ?

Are there some steps missing or am I not doing this correctly?

thanks brian
