build command-line-arguments: cannot load local package: cannot find module providing package

Question

I am unable to load local package using go mod. I have seperate go.mod files for repoA and repoB. I have found no solution anywhere. OS is windows.

$> go version
go version go1.12.7 windows/amd64

I have two modules with repository, when I run main file from repoA. It will try to find module/package of repoB, then it throws an error saying

cannot find module providing package

My repo structure :-

����repoA
�   ����proto
�   �   ����system
�   ����sauth
�   ����shandle
�   ����smodel
�   ����sresponse
����repoB
    ����common
    ����config
    ����proto
        ����account
        ����auth
        ����session

Is this issue resolved? I too get same error in intellij IDE with go plugin — user669789

How does the go.mod file of repoA look?

Imports should always be absolute, e.g.:

import "github.com/Himanshu/repoB"

Then, in repoA's go.mod file you can add a replace directive to point "github.com/Himanshu/repoB" to a local path (could be relative).

Make sure to read the relevant parts of the Modules wiki and the official blog post on modules

After doing couple of things the issue got resolved with my IntelliJ.

Initialize the go module in the project and
Refer package with absolute path.

I have 2 folders -> repoA and repoB which are present in folder c:\goprograms. Run go mod init examplegoprogram.com/app. Now, I see go.mod file in goprograms folder with content module examplegoprogram.com/app. In repoA, you can now refer repoB as import "examplegoprogram.com/app/repoB"

If you are using new Intellij Ultimate, enable go modules under Project settings Alt + Ctrl + S Languages & Frameworks -> Go -> Go Modules
