Directly related (11)

imported and not usedGo

Go: ./main.go:5:2: "os" imported and not used

The file imports a package that no code in that file uses; Go treats this as a compile error, not a warning.

no new variables on left side of :=Go

Go: ./main.go:9:6: no new variables on left side of :=

`:=` declares variables, but all names on the left already exist in the same scope.

cannot assign to struct field m[k].f in mapGo

Go: cannot assign to struct field users["bob"].Age in map

Map values are not addressable, so you cannot modify a field of a struct stored directly in a map.

cannot use x as type in assignment/argumentGo

Go: cannot use "5" (untyped string constant) as int value in argument to f

A value's type is not assignable to the type required by the variable, parameter or return value.

not enough / too many arguments in callGo

Go: not enough arguments in call to f have (int) want (int, string)

A function was called with fewer or more arguments than it declares.

function main is undeclared in the main packageGo

Go: runtime.main_main·f: function main is undeclared in the main package

The package is named `main` but contains no `func main()`, or you tried to build a library as an executable.

cannot refer to unexported nameGo

Go: cannot refer to unexported name pkg.helper (undefined: pkg.helper)

You used a lowercase (unexported) identifier from another package; only capitalised names are visible outside their package.

does not implement interface (missing method)Go

Go: cannot use &Dog{} (value of type *Dog) as Animal value: *Dog does not implement Animal (missing method Speak)

A type was used as an interface but lacks a method or has it with a different signature or receiver type.

assignment mismatch: 1 variable but f returns 2 valuesGo

Go: assignment mismatch: 1 variable but os.Open returns 2 values

The number of variables on the left does not match the number of values the function returns.

import cycle not allowedGo

Go: package app/models imports app/utils imports app/models: import cycle not allowed

Two or more packages import each other directly or indirectly, which Go forbids.

syntax error: unexpected newlineGo

Go: ./main.go:8:2: syntax error: unexpected newline, expected comma or )

The parser met a line break where it needed more tokens, usually a missing trailing comma in a multi-line literal or a misplaced…

Two steps away (18)

declared and not usedGo

Go: declared and not used: x / "fmt" imported and not used

Go refuses to compile code with unused local variables or unused imports.

missing returnGo

Go: ./main.go:18:1: missing return

A function with a return type can reach its end without a return statement on some path.

invalid operation: mismatched typesGo

Go: invalid operation: a + b (mismatched types int and float64)

You combined two values of different types; Go never converts numeric types implicitly.

panic: assignment to entry in nil mapGo

Go: panic: assignment to entry in nil map

You wrote to a map that was declared but never initialised.

fatal error: concurrent map writesGo

Go: fatal error: concurrent map writes

Two goroutines wrote to the same map at the same time; the runtime detects it and aborts the program (not recoverable).

fatal error: concurrent map read and map writeGo

Go: fatal error: concurrent map read and map write

One goroutine read from a map while another wrote to it; the runtime aborts.

E0308Rust

Rust: error[E0308]: mismatched types — expected `X`, found `Y`

A value’s type doesn’t match what the context expects — common with &str vs String, Option/Result vs plain values, and integer ty…

sql: no rows in result setGo

Go: sql: no rows in result set

`QueryRow(...).Scan(...)` found no row for the query.

COPY failedDocker

COPY failed: file not found in build context / "/app/x": not found

The Dockerfile COPY refers to a path outside the build context, excluded by .dockerignore, or relative to the wrong directory.

did not complete successfullyDocker

failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c ..." did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

A RUN step in your Dockerfile failed. The real error is printed in the lines just above this message.

failed to read dockerfileDocker

failed to solve: failed to read dockerfile: open Dockerfile: no such file or directory

docker build can’t find a Dockerfile in the build context you passed.

json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct fieldGo

Go: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field User.age of type int

The JSON value's type does not match the Go field type (string vs number, object vs array).

panic: interface conversionGo

Go: panic: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not int

A type assertion `x.(T)` failed because the dynamic type of the interface is not T.

context deadline exceededGo

Go: Get "https://api.example.com": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

An operation did not finish before its context deadline or HTTP client timeout.

context canceledGo

Go: context canceled (rpc error: code = Canceled desc = context canceled)

The context was cancelled before the operation finished — the caller gave up, the client disconnected, or a parent was cancelled.

invalid character looking for beginning of valueGo

Go: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

The decoder received something that is not JSON — often an HTML error page, an empty body or plain text.

cannot find package in any of GOROOT / GOPATHGo

Go: cannot find package "github.com/pkg/errors" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/github.com/pkg/errors (from $GOROOT) /go/src/github.com/pkg/errors (from $GOPATH)

Go could not locate an imported package — it is not downloaded, the module is not initialised, or GOPATH mode is in effect.

no required module provides packageGo

Go: no required module provides package github.com/foo/bar; to add it: go get github.com/foo/bar

The code imports a package whose module is not listed in `go.mod`.
