[oi-dev] GOCACHE for Jenkins jobs

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi Aurelien

Yes you must define GOCACHE. Go modules requires this path to download
and unpack/compile Build dependencies. It will also speed up any
subsequent runs if this Cache is globally.

Here is my Jenkins config for go 1.11+

    environment {
         GOCACHE = "${WORKSPACE}/gocache"
         GO111MODULE = "on"
         GOPATH = "${WORKSPACE}/../gopath"
    }

GO111MODULE might not be necessary depending on the Software you are
building but they have to include a note if they do not support go
modules yet. Acording to the Go community it is advised to file a
upstream bug of Go modules are not yet supported.

If you need any Help with Go let me know. I Programm with it as my Day
Job and maintain the OpenIndiana Packages. Chances are I have come
accross an issue before :)

Greetings
Till
