#3802 [Housekeeping] Show warning or error message if GOPATH environment variable is not set Issue created by shekhar-kotekar Describe the issue On Mac M1 system, golang is installed using

brew install go

command which apparently does not bother exporting

GOPATH

environment variable. So if we try to build Flyte code from the source,

make compile

command fails with below error.

<http://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/cmd|github.com/flyteorg/flyte/cmd>
mv ./flyte /bin || echo "Skipped copying 'flyte' to /bin"
mv: fastcopy: open() failed (to): /bin/flyte: Operation not permitted
Skipped copying 'flyte' to /bin

Below line in

Makefile

is using

GOPATH

environment variable.

mv ./flyte ${GOPATH}/bin || echo "Skipped copying 'flyte' to ${GOPATH}/bin"

This is not a show stopper but we can simply check if this environment variable is set and handle the error accordingly. What if we do not do this? We have to set

GOPATH

environment variable and then retry

make compile

command. Related component(s) No response Are you sure this issue hasn't been raised already? ☑︎ Yes Have you read the Code of Conduct? ☑︎ Yes flyteorg/flyte
