➜  ~ brew upgrade dep
Error: dep 0.3.0 already installed

What dep command did you run?

dep init -v

➜  cti git:(master) ✗ dep init -v
unable to deduce repository and source type for "git.meiqia.com/business_platform/idg/idg": 
unable to read metadata: unable to fetch raw metadata: failed HTTP request to URL 
"http://git.meiqia.com/business_platform/idg/idg?go-get=1": Get 
http://git.meiqia.com/business_platform/idg/idg?go-get=1: EOF

What did you expect to see?

generate a Gopkg.toml and a Gopkg.lock file，and vendor folder.

What did you see instead?

no file,no folder, error info is showed above.

the sub-package do not matth the right url.

self-git-hub git.meiqia.com create the problem?

and i test the main.go:

package main

import (
	"golang.org/x/text/encoding"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("", encoding.ASCIISub)
}

and run dep init -v, and it successed...

➜  vvvvvvvvvvvvv dep init -v

@chyroc hi, thanks for creating an issue for this. This looks like a support for private/enterprise patterns. There's discussion going on about the same in #286 .

The go get tool depends on some metadata from the code hosting service to determine some information it needs. cmd/go#Remote-import-paths describes the same in details.

Similarly, dep uses the same metadata from the code repos to resolve the source of repo. So, when you get the error

unable to read metadata: unable to fetch raw metadata: failed HTTP request to URL

it means that the code repo is not compatibly setup with the go tools.

Since I don't have any personal experience with this, I'm not sure if the code hosting services provide some option to enable the metadata tags on the repo.

Also, I found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26347516/using-go-get-on-a-personal-git-repo might be a good workaround.

Hope this helps :)
