revel: I am creating a revel project and I cannot get it to work.

In go 1.16 the go.mod is more actively looking at the source code and not simply relying on the packages defined in go.mod. So it looks to see if a reference to github.com/revel/modules is in the code and if not it removes it from the go.mod. The fix is short and sweet. Add a reference to the module in the init.go, similar to what is needed for databases. I fixed the skeleton project so it should now just work when creating a new project revel/skeletons@61f1ea7

I’m still having issues:

Looks like cd’ing into the directory after it fails and running go mod tidy fixes it.

Hello! Totally new to both Revel and go, but I just hit all of this stuff with a fresh installation. Is there a way to re-open this ticket, or is there a newer ticket I could follow? FWIW, @alexgeek’s go mod tidy comment above solved the problem for me.

(Thank you to everyone who’s contributed to Revel and to this thread. It was very helpful.)

+1 the command go mod tidy seems to be working , post installation of all go dependencies . Thanks @alexgeek for the helpful tip .

Thanks, @meagar your comment helped. Also, I had to get memcache.

go get github.com/revel/modules/static
go get github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis
go get github.com/patrickmn/go-cache
go get github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache

+1 the command go mod tidy seems to be working , post installation of all go dependencies . Thanks @alexgeek for the helpful tip .

+1，go mod tidy， help me

Sounds good, im going to reopen this ticket to track the progress on the go1.16 BTW did you know Revel supports the fasthttp engine? See this. The core packages allow substituting custom engine connectors using this interface
