The go plugin can be used by Go projects using go get, the command used to grab a project’s dependencies.
This plugin uses the common plugin keywords as well as those for “sources”. For more information, see Snapcraft parts metadata.
Additionally, this plugin uses the following plugin-specific keywords:
go-channel (string, default: latest/stable)
The snap Store channel to install go from. If set to an empty string, go will be installed using the system’s traditional package manager.
go-packages (list of strings)
Go packages to fetch, these must be a “main” package.
Dependencies are pulled in automatically by go get.
Packages that are not “main” will not cause an error, but would not be useful either.
If the package is a part of the go-importpath the local package
corresponding to those sources will be used
go-importpath (string)
This entry tells the checked out source to live within a certain path
within GOPATH.
This is not needed and does not affect go-packages.
go-buildtags (list of strings)
Tags to use during the go build. Default is not to use any build tags.
See Go applications for a simple example, or search GitHub for projects already using the plugin.
