Golang Appengine Project won't build

Question

I have an appengine project using golang that I haven't touched in about a year. I cannot get it to build now on the machine where it was building before. I get the following error

go-app-builder: Failed parsing input: parser: bad import "syscall" in src/golang.org/x/net/internal/nettest/rlimit_unix.go

I am running on OS X if that helps at all. I am not a Golang expert, by any stretch, and my attempts to find anything even related to this have all turned up nothing. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

That usage is in net/internal. You are probably importing net in your app engine project someplace, and thus doing the illegal import.

If you constrain your usage to net/http on an app engine project, you should be just fine.

Answer 2

I think the problem is this:

You are not permitted to import the syscall package in a Go App Engine app for security reasons. Whatever file is importing it needs to be changed to not do that, or be excluded from the build.

as per this

So you might want to try this workaround. If you are importing the 'os' module. It fixes this

It would be helpful if you can post your code too.
