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

In your system setting make sure all these enviroment variables are set in this way

GOROOT=C:\Go
GOBIN=%GOPATH%\bin
PATH=%PATH%;c:\go\bin;%GOBIN%

(If you have installed Go in c:\Go)

In your user folder create a directory for Go, named for example goplayground
Create another environment variable that points to this directory

GOPATH=C:\Users\YOUR_USENAME\goplayground

That's all. Now IntelliJ IDEA Go plugin should work correctly.
