WHEN I RUN MY PROGRAM I AM GETTING BELOW ERROR

Rajeshs-MacBook-Pro:03_ParseForm_Form rajeshjain$ go run main.go
# runtime
/usr/local/go/src/runtime/cgo.go:9:3: //go:cgo_export_static main only allowed in cgo-generated code

I am sorry i am a new bee in GOLANG.

The program which i am running is

PROGRAM***

package main

import (
	"html/template"
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"fmt"
)

type hotdog int

func (m hotdog) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
	fmt.Println("I am in ServeHTTP")
	/*
	ParseForm is the method which needs to be call before we can use
	req.Form  - This for getting the data in the body
	req.PostForm - this is for getting the data from body and header
	*/

	err := req.ParseForm()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(req.Form)
	tpl.ExecuteTemplate(w, "index.html", req.Form)
}

var tpl *template.Template

func init() {
	tpl = template.Must(template.ParseFiles("index.html"))
}

func main() {
	var d hotdog
	http.ListenAndServe(":7777", d)
}

It seems your go version is too old cgo_export_static main only allowed in cgo-generated code · Issue #125 · denoland/deno · GitHub. Update to the latest 1.11

Hi Johan Dahl,

Thanks for your response.
On my mac,when i started learning.I installed Go using brew and that has set it at
export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec

and that was working fine…now i installed the new version of GO from there official website and i can see this being installed at “/usr/local/go”
now i try to set the GOROOT as /usr/local/go.
Below are the parameters which i have set in to .bash_profile

export GOPATH=[path]/projects/GoProjects
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

But when i run “go version” i still get “go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64” which is a version which i installed when i installed go from brew.

Thanks,

Remove the brew version.

Also PATH is checked left to right and you put the “new” one to the outer right, so the old one is probably seen first. You need to put the new one to the left, or make sure remove the old one.

Also, As a rule of thumb, you want user installations to be always be found before system installation, therefore in most cases you want to have PATH=/new/entry/bin:${PATH}.
