Im sorry this is a little out of my wheel house of expertise. If you find out the issue im more than willing to fix it if it is indeed a gofakeit issue.

[simsolTech]

The path "github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v5" is not existing. What you can do is remove v5 and replace import statements to " github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit" instead of "github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v5". I am able to go get "github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit". I solved the problem renaming "gofakeit" to "v5" and placing that under "github.com/brianvoe/ gofakeit/". Regards Deepak

@simsolTech your solution not working for me.

this error shows up in my ci:

imports github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v5
imports github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v5/data: cannot find package "." in:
/MY-PROJECT-PATH/vendor/github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit/v5/data

[PumpkinSeed]

go.dev registered the package as v5, so it should work with go get properly.

@p3ym4n Can you tell details what scripts are running in the CI which has this result please?

[p3ym4n]

@PumpkinSeed actually I don't know why it's throwing this problem, I'm investigating to find out.

BTW my CI script is just a simple go test ./... command in a golang:1.14.0 container.

You can comment on this later if you find out what your issue it. but im going to close this for now considering i dont think its a gofakeit issue.

[simsolTech]

Work around:
You need to do perform the following:

1. go get github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit -> This places your code in 'github.com./brianvoe/gofakeit'
2. Rename 'github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit' to 'github.com/brianvoe/v5' -> Now you have "github.com/brianvoe/v5"
3. make a directory 'gofakeit' in github.com/brianvoe/ -> Now you have two folders in github.com/brianvoe i.e, "gofakeit" and "v5"
4. Move v5 folder into gofakeit -> Final directory structure is "gofakeit' in github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit.v5/......"
5. import "github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit" in your code

Suggested solution:

1. Replace all instances of "gofakeit' in github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit.v5" in code files with "gofakeit' in github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit" in the library
2. Change installation instructions to "go get install "github.com/brianvoe/gofakeit"

The only way i can see this being true is if your not using go mods.

[simsolTech]

You are right. It goes of with go mod.

Thanks. Best regards

I just found the root cause of the issue I was encountering, maybe for others who may end up here.
we had added a data line in our .gitignore file on the root of our project which results in not including the /data folder of this package when we commit our code into the repo. so in the CI steps, this package was damaged.

[PumpkinSeed]

@p3ym4n Probably you using the vendor folder instead of doing the go get in the CI. Probably if you don't have a specific reason to hold the vendor folder alongside of your project it's better to add the vendor to gitignore and doing go get in the CI.

[p3ym4n]

Yes @PumpkinSeed, but I prefer to keep the vendor folder in the repo to prevent calling the go get on each step of the CI.
and that issue was so weird :)

Glad you found your issue!
