I fixed this by using branch: master in dep, here’s my dep entry [[constraint]] name = “github.com/gin-gonic/gin” branch=“master”

This is a problem with this repo and the way dep works. Dep automatically pulls from the latest RELEASE 1.2.0 (commit d459835) in July 2017, not the latest master branch. Because this repo isn’t releasing minor versions like 1.2.1, we need to do what @vivekkartha suggested. I would recommend releasing more often for us dep users.

After some tinkering for some reason this line works:

works

c.ShouldBindWith(&json, binding.JSON)

doesnt work

c.ShouldBindJSON(&json)

@sidmutha Actually converting the project from glide to dep just works with the following specs: Gopkg.toml:

[[constraint]]
  name = "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  version = "~1.2.0"

Gopkg.lock:

[[projects]]
  name = "gopkg.in/go-playground/validator.v8"
  packages = ["."]
  revision = "5f1438d3fca68893a817e4a66806cea46a9e4ebf"
  version = "v8.18.2"
