Not using the $GOPATH specified in “go env”

I've got
export GOPATH=$HOME/Documents/go
in my .zshrc.
When trying to build a project with the following:
sudo go build -o /usr/bin/
I get a
main.go:5:2: cannot find package "github.com/foo/bar" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/foo/bar (from $GOROOT)
/Users/JoahJoah/go/src/github.com/foo/bar (from $GOPATH)
I am assuming the "(from $GOPATH)" means the path is whatever I've set my $GOPATH variable to. And
go env
outputs the following:
GOPATH="/Users/Johannes/Documents/go"
The "Documents" part of the path seems to be omitted when using go build.
Is build using a GOPATH from somewhere else?

Are you by any chance runninggo build
with a differnet user (e.g.root
)? Different users have different environments.

Since I was running the the command
$ sudo go build -o /usr/bin/
with sudo
prefixed, it was running as the root
user, causing a different $GOPATH
to be used.
As Eric said, I should instead build to /usr/local/bin
where sudo
can be omitted.
$ go build /usr/local/bin
Works!
You can also run it withsudo -E
, which retains your existing environment variables for the command. That said, you are correct, you should not need to run it viasudo
.
