`zb build` doesn't report about missing dependencies errors

[robert-zaremba]

How to replicate:

• create a new empty environment (GOPATH), eg:

  mkdir ~/tmp-go
  export GOPATH=~/tmp-go
  

• clone repository (without using go get) with some dependencies, eg:

  git clone https://github.com/robert-zaremba/log15.git ~/tmp-go/src/github.com/robert-zaremba/log15
  

• run zb build there.

It will return quietly without reporting error about missing dependencies. If you run go build (eg inside the log15/example package) it will return with errors.

Hmm... when I tried that I get this:

% zb build
ERROR cannot find package "github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew" in any of:
ERROR   /Users/jrubin/.gvm/gos/go1.9/src/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew (from $GOROOT)
ERROR   /Users/jrubin/tmp-go/src/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew (from $GOPATH)

I thought it might be something in my environment, but it doesn't seem so:

% env -i GOPATH="${GOPATH}" PATH="${PATH}" zb build
level=ERROR msg="cannot find package \"github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew\" in any of:"
level=ERROR msg="\t/Users/jrubin/.gvm/gos/go1.8.3/src/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew (from $GOROOT)"
level=ERROR msg="\t/Users/jrubin/tmp-go/src/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew (from $GOPATH)"

This is my output:

% cd ~
~ % mkdir ~/tmp-go

~ % export GOPATH=~/tmp-go

~ % git clone https://github.com/robert-zaremba/log15.git ~/tmp-go/src/github.com/robert-zaremba/log15

I tested it on Fedora 26 and Ubuntu 16.04

[joshuarubin]

I've been testing on Mac, it might be a Linux specific issue. What do you get when you run: LOG_LEVEL=debug zb build?

[robert-zaremba]

Also nothing. I've tried zb -l DEBUG build as well.

[robert-zaremba]

Are you sure you export GOPATH=~/tmp-go? I've tested it with a friend on Mac and he has the same issue.

[joshuarubin]

Yes, my $GOPATH is set just as yours is. I still can't reproduce. You are running the current zb from the master branch? What version of Go?
