git clone https://github.com/InVisionApp/gitrob.git -b feature/no-server /my_clone

→ go build main.go 
# command-line-arguments
./main.go:221:20: sess.Options.NoServer undefined (type core.Options has no field or method NoServer)

Not sure why it is throwing undefined error.

@arbazkiraak Sorry for answering so late, I hope the answer is still useful for you.

The layout of this repository is somewhat "unconventional" (some may say broken). The repo is spread over several subdirectories, which are included using the full gopath. As a result, main.go looks for a 'core' package where the Options struct is defined. Using the full path, the compiler does not look in your local checkout, but in probably another checkout that you have under $GOPATH/github.com/michenriksen/gitrob/core .

Here is a full example of what you could do.

# Setup go environment
# you can use your own, but this is a full example
cd
mkdir -p src/go_example
cd src/go_example
mkdir src pkg bin
export GOPATH=~/src/go_example

# clone the repo
# note the path. Non-existing directories are automatically created
git clone https://github.com/InVisionApp/gitrob.git -b feature/no-server src/github.com/michenriksen/gitrob

# get dependencies
go get github.com/michenriksen/gitrob

# build
go build github.com/michenriksen/gitrob

Since you seem to have a checkout of the original repo, you could also do

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/michenriksen/gitrob
git checkout feature/no-server
go build github.com/michenriksen/gitrob

But this is just a guess, I don't know if this would work.

Hope that helps cheers

@dcepler Thanks for submitting this, it was something I was also hacking around but this is a cleaner solution than mine. This is merged in at my fork. Please feel free to open new issues or pull requests against that.
