Viper uses [github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure](https://github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure) under the hood for unmarshaling values which uses `mapstructure` tags by default. Please refer to the library's documentation for using other struct tags. + +## Cannot find package + +Viper installation seems to fail a lot lately with the following (or a similar) error: + +``` +cannot find package "github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1" in any of: +/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.15.7_1/libexec/src/github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1 (from $GOROOT) +/Users/user/go/src/github.com/hashicorp/hcl/tree/hcl1 (from $GOPATH) +``` + +As the error message suggests, Go tries to look up dependencies in `GOPATH` mode (as it's commonly called) from the `GOPATH`. +Viper opted to use [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) to manage its dependencies. While in many cases the two methods are interchangeable, once a dependency releases new (major) versions, `GOPATH` mode is no longer able to decide which version to use, so it'll either use one that's already present or pick a version (usually the `master` branch). + +The solution is easy: switch to using Go Modules. +Please refer to the [wiki](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) on how to do that. + +**tl;dr* `export GO111MODULE=on` |
