==> Caveats
As of go 1.2, a valid GOPATH is required to use the `go get` command:
  http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH

`go vet` and `go doc` are now part of the go.tools sub repo:
  http://golang.org/doc/go1.2#go_tools_godoc

To get `go vet` and `go doc` run:
  go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/godoc
  go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/vet

You may wish to add the GOROOT-based install location to your PATH:
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin

I keep getting the same error if i clone the repo or using brew install hugo.

Did you manage to get it running?

No, I haven’t been able to get it work.

This is a problem with an upstream package:

https://code.google.com/p/go-html-transform/issues/detail?id=17 and https://code.google.com/p/go-html-transform/issues/detail?id=18

There has been a patch submitted, but it has not yet been applied, it appears.

@michael_henderson, have you been able to get this to work? I think we may need an alternative answer to go-html-transform because the library is functionally abandoned (the last changes were in March 2014, the last changes before that were in mid-2013) and if people can’t install hugo from source at this point (which is what brew install hugo does), it’s not going to leave a good taste in prospective users mouths. (I suspect that anyone who needs to install Hugo on a new box is going to face a similar problem.)

6

Go-html-transform should be removed in a recent commit in Hugo.

7

Excellent. I’ve been a bit busy at a conference to update :wink:

OK I did a bit more reading about how go packaging works, and the main issue is there’s no way of locking dependencies inside a go package import other than … drum roll … import the entire module into your app, “vendoring” it.

One alternative is to use godep, But that’s a little controversial for some people.

http://godoc.org/github.com/tools/godep

Any other opinions or approaches?

TBH I am not sure on the right way to ensure a robust source build, but personally being able to build reliably from source is a must, whether for CI testing or just plain not having your head explode with frustration. The days of trusting somebody’s unsigned binary hosted on a server are gone.

Thought I would put this finding here -
I had trouble with “brew install hugo” and realized that my Homebrew was messed up after I installed Yosemite.
This link helped me get it together -

Issue was fixed upstream in the brew repository. I did a brew upgrade to pull the new recipe for Hugo, then brew upgrade hugo to install the v0.13.
