Hangs when vendoring from repo about gb

[mvdan]

Surely you mean gb-vendor?

More info after letting it time out:

gb vendor <host>/<path>/<repo>.git
2015/04/29 15:00:53 INFO project root "<project root>"
package code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy: Get https://code.google.com/p/snappy-go/source/checkout?repo=: read tcp 74.125.239.40:443: operation timed out
2015/04/29 15:08:50 exit status 1
2015/04/29 15:08:50 command "vendor" failed: exit status 1

code.google.com/p/snappy-go/snappy is directly go-gettable, though.

interesting, both gb vendor and gb-vendor seem to be valid commands?

[crsmithdev]

Strange! gb-vendor works. Why are they both valid and why does the latter work but not the former?

[davecheney]

gb-vendor is a git style plugin. It's a bug that t doesn't properly protect itself from being run directly. I'll fix that.

As an aside, gb-vendor is just a thin shim that sets GOPATH to the project's vendor directory and shells out to go get.

Gb-vendor is just a hack to bootstrap your project, you can always just popular the vendor/src directory manually.

OK thanks for the clarification, closing, although definitely fix the gb vendor issue, that was quite confusing.
