# Golang Vagrant Environment

[Golang](http://golang.org/) has a slightly more complex setup procedure
compared to other languages as it uses a *workspace* concept. Getting the
environment wrong means many of the go commands fail with some what confusing
errors.

This repo aims to alleviate the problems starting a golang project by providing
a vagrant environment and puppet script that will setup and prepare all the
required prerequisites.

## Requirements

In order to use this repository you need the following:

- [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
- [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/)
- [Puppet](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html)

## Using vagrant-golang

This repo was developed to be copied and re-used as needed in other projects. It
is only meant to make per project golang environments easier to manage. I have
tried other golang modules for puppet and they didn't work as expected.

Clone or copy the repo and do the following:

$ cd /path/to/repo
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
# ...
$ go version
$ go install hello
$ hello
# hello, world

## Choosing golang version

This repo is hardcoded to use 1.9 although this can easily be changed after
cloning. If you want to use another version simply set the `$version` parameter
when calling the class. The version string is taken from the
[golang downloads list](http://golang.org/dl/). Once changed you can either call
`vagrant up` if you haven't already setup the vagrant box or `vagrant provision`
if the machine is already up.
