I use IntelliJ IDEA as golang IDE, and system environment have already set GOPATH，But IDEA can't load it

Question

I use IntelliJ IDEA as golang IDE in Windows , and system environment have already set GOPATH，but IDEA can\'t load $GOPATH.

I use go get github.com/astaxie/beego

Answer 1

I don't use IntelliJ, but i have a similar issue with Eclipse. I'm probably doing something wrong but Eclipse does not recognize the GOPATH env variable by itself.

What I do is adding manually to the Go settings an entry to the library i am using. For example it would looks like /somewhere/in/your/hd/github.com/astaxie/beego. Note that you have to specify the base directory of your library, not the /src or /pkg folder.

Hope this helps.
