Failure to go get because of moved gcimporter15

[ednp]

It appears goreporter relies on gcimporter15, which has been moved:
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/105977
https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go

Code location that imports it:
https://github.com/360EntSecGroup-Skylar/goreporter/blob/master/linters/simplecode/lint/lint.go#L23

Example error when running go get -u github.com/360EntSecGroup-Skylar/goreporter:

package golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15: cannot find package "golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15 (from $GOROOT)
	/home/ubuntu/.go_workspace/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15 (from $GOPATH)
	/usr/local/go_workspace/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15

Same problem

For anyone looking to move forward with this, you can patch from my fork: serussell/goreporter@3514eb452. It'll get you going (compiles & runs), but it's a quick hack and I haven't vetted the solution for correctness as I don't entirely understand why the original code was doing what it was doing in the way it was doing it (it seemed needlessly complex).

@ednp @eric00liu Thank you very much for your feedback on this issue. I did not have version control on goreporter.I have solved it with godep, and later I will check if the dependency can be updated.

@serussell Great fix.

same here in go1.11

I solved it with go1.10 and the corresponding version of golang.org/x/tools.

The problem is that gcimporter15 was removed, and I found that this package was still in go1.10. But golint relies on go/gcexportdata, which is added in go1.8, so I think go1.8~1.10 should be ok

how to solve this problem?? I have same problem

[ibmer921150]

Go the same problem. Go version go1.16.3 linux/amd64

https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/gcimporter15

Package gcimporter15 provides various functions for reading gc-generated object files that can be used to implement the Importer interface defined by the Go 1.5 standard library package.

Deprecated: this package will be deleted in October 2017. New code should use golang.org/x/tools/go/gcexportdata.
