Invalid import path - Go + windows

When attempting to import to files from the windows file system:

import (
    pb "github.com\\sewelol\\sgx-decryption-service\\decryptionservice"
    dev "github.com\\sewelol\\sgx-decryption-service\\device"
	"google.golang.org\\rpc"`
)

I get this error

server\main.go:10:5: invalid import path: "github.com\\sewelol\\sgx-decryption-service\\decryptionservice"

I have checked $PATH enviroment variable includes the directory that has github.com, and $GOROOT also is set up to point to the Go installation.

I assume it is something to do with the file paths themselves, but I can't find any information on how to do filepaths in the windows environment.

Thanks

You have to use forward slashes / in import paths (of import declarations), even if you're on Windows.

Spec: Import declarations:

> Implementation restriction: A compiler may restrict ImportPaths to non-empty strings using only characters belonging to Unicode's L, M, N, P, and S general categories (the Graphic characters without spaces) and may also exclude the characters !"#$%&'()*,:;<=>?[\]^{|}` and the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD.

Any compiler may exclude the backslash \ character among others. Even if you would use one that doesn't, your code would not be portable.

So instead try:

import (
    pb "github.com/sewelol/sgx-decryption-service/decryptionservice"
    dev "github.com/sewelol/sgx-decryption-service/device"
    "google.golang.org/rpc"
)
