How to install ginkgo and gomega using gopkg?

I am trying to install ginkgo and gomega using the gopkg. It is throwing the following error:

Answer 1

As per my understanding, you are using get instead of install.

You can use

• go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@latest

• go install github.com/onsi/gomega@latest

Answer 2

To my understanding, this is not a fatal error. I was able to download both ginkgo and gomega using gopkg even though I got the same warning messages. A brief look at the source code shows that gomega_dsl.go and ginkgo_dsl.go import code from an internal subdirectory. I do not see why that should be a problem, though. Getting the packages worked despite these warnings.
