cannot run aerospike go example

I'm trying to run an aerospike go example:

package main

    import (
	"github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go"
	"fmt"
    )

    func panicOnError(err error) {
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
    }

     func main() {
	// define a client to connect to
	client, err := NewClient("127.0.0.1", 3000)
	panicOnError(err)

	key, err := NewKey("test", "aerospike", "key")
	panicOnError(err)

	// define some bins with data
	bins := BinMap{
		"bin1": 42,
		"bin2": "An elephant is a mouse with an operating system",
		"bin3": []interface{}{"Go", 2009},
	}

	// write the bins
	err = client.Put(nil, key, bins)
	panicOnError(err)

	// read it back!
	rec, err := client.Get(nil, key)
	panicOnError(err)

	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", *rec)

	// delete the key, and check if key exists
	existed, err := client.Delete(nil, key)
	panicOnError(err)
	fmt.Printf("Record existed before delete? %v\n", existed)
}

But I get an error:

Unresolved reference NewClient... 
and many more...

I've run the command:

go get github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go

and it has downloaded the package on the disk.

Can you help?

You can see in the project aerospike/aerospike-client-go tests like example_listiter_int_test.go which:

• import the project with:

    as "github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go"
  

• use NewClient with the right prefix:

    var v as.Value = as.NewValue(myListInt([]int{1, 2, 3}))
  

So don't forget to prefix NewClient.

In your case:

import (
as "github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go"
"fmt"
)

And:

client, err := as.NewClient("127.0.0.1", 3000)

as is an alias for the package name, since, as mentioned in "Call a function from another package in Go":

> You import the package by its import path, and reference all its exported symbols (those starting with a capital letter) through the package name,

Since NewClient is in client.go of the package aerospike, an alternative would be:

client, err := aerospike.NewClient("127.0.0.1", 3000)
