So you want to use CircleCI 2.0 with Golang with Glide. The example provided by CircleCI unfortunately doesn’t use Glide. Here is what I ended up with for a relatively simple build before adding tests to config.yml: version: 2 jobs: build: docker: - image: circleci/golang:1.8 working_directory: /go/src/github.com/<github username>/<project> steps: - checkout - run: go get -u -v -t github.com/Masterminds/glide - run: glide install -v - run: go build -v github.com/<github username>/<project>/<path to application>
