I can't import local packages in my go project

Question

folder structure:

- myproject
  - resolver
    - resolver.go
  - main.go

go mod init github.com/kaleabbyh/foodrecipie

resolver.go:

package resolvers

import "fmt"

func resolverfunc(){
    fmt.Println("resolvers are running")
}

main.go:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/kaleabbyh/foodrecipie/resolvers"
)

func main(){
    resolvers.resolverfunc()
    fmt.Println("main is running")
}

I try to do just like the above details but it returns me

no required module provides package "github.com/kaleabbyh/foodrecipie/resolvers"

Answer 1

Although you used package resolvers, the name of that package's directory is resolver, therefore the import path for that package (regardless of its name) is not "github.com/kaleabbyh/foodrecipie/resolvers" but instead "github.com/kaleabbyh/foodrecipie/resolver".

Note also that, to be able to call functions in imported packages those functions need to be exported (i.e. they MUST start with an upper case letter). In other words; resolvers.resolverfunc() is not gonna work (even if you manage to fix the import issue) because resolverfunc is unexported (i.e. it starts with a lower case letter).
