error with installation

[emmtte]

Hi, I have this error when I try to update drive

go get -u github.com/odeke-em/drive/cmd/drive
# golang.org/x/net/context/ctxhttp
../.bin/go/src/golang.org/x/net/context/ctxhttp/ctxhttp.go:35: req.Cancel undefined (type *http.Request has no field or method Cancel)

Can you share the version of your go installation?

[emmtte]

go version go1.3.3 linux/arm

[professorjamesmoriarty]

I think this is related to changes in go and respective "libs". @odeke-em no doubt more informative then me. But without some code changes, drive might require a newer go version then 1.3 series.

Out of curiosity what os/distro are you trying to build on?

Ok thanks, it's a Raspian distrib for a Raspberry Pi.
I'm waiting...

Hello again @ManuCart thanks for reporting this. @shaggytwodope thanks for answering this.
Yes in deed, I think you need to have at least Go1.4 since request.Cancel was added in golang/go@8b4278f on 28th June 2015 but that was for Go1.5. Please try with Go1.4 for starters.

OK thanks it's working with 1.6.2

I ran into this same problem, the latest go fixes it for me too.
Maybe the README should be adjusted, it mentions go 1.3.x as a dependency. I was running 1.3 when the error above happened so I didn't think to update go.
