If you are using VS Code as your IDE and facing this problem:

VS Code uses $HOME/go as your default GOPATH - if you export another GOPATH you running into this trouble.

How to solve:

1. Use the VS Code internal terminal and navigate to your project folder: cd prjectFolder. Type go env and check if the GOPATH entry is the same as you get when you use cmd+t and then >Go: Current GOPATH
2. If it doesn't fit, add in your user settings: "go.gopath": "/some/path" where /some/path is the same path you export in you shell, zsh and so on.

Hope this helps.
