GoLang custom package import issue

I'm learning GoLang, and got into an issue.

I created the mod file with go mod init main

Next I created controller and Routes folder which looks something like below:

├── contollers
│   └── users.controller.go
├── routes
│   ├── index.go
│   └── users.routes.go
├── vendor
│   └── modules.txt
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── main.go

in the mod file the module looks like something like this
module main

Now when I'm trying to import controller into router, it's giving me import error.

I been doing below things.
Attempt - 1

import (
	"$GOPATH/controllers"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

it's giving invalid import path: "$GOPATH/controllers"syntax error

Attempt - 2

import (
	"$GOPATH/main/controllers"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

again the error is same

Attempt - 3

import (
	"main/controllers"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

controller.go

package controllers;

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func HealthCheck() gin.HandlerFunc {
	return func (c *gin.Context)  {
		fmt.Println("reached controller")
	}
}

router.go

package routes

import (
	"bootcamp.com/server/controllers"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func UserRouters(inComingRoutes *gin.Engine) {
	inComingRoutes.GET("/api/health", controllers.HealthCheck());
}

it's throwing error like this, could not import main/controllers (no required module provides package "main/controllers")

I been stuck with this for 3-4 hours, can anyone please suggest me how can I import that controller into my route.

Thanks in advance.

1. Modify the module path by editing go.mod:

- module main
+ module example.com/hello

2. Modify the import path:

  import (
-     "main/controllers"
+     "example.com/hello/controllers"

      "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
  )

3. controller.go (remove trailing ;):

- package controllers;
+ package controllers

4. rename the directory contollers to controllers to match the package name (r is missed).

5. remove the vendor folder.

Explanation:

1. main has a special meaning in go. Quotes from the golang spec:

> A complete program is created by linking a single, unimported package called the main package with all the packages it imports, transitively. The main package must have package name main and declare a function main that takes no arguments and returns no value.

2. Import paths without dots are reserved for the standard library and go toolchain. See cmd/go: document that module names without dots are reserved.

use this command

go mod tidy

Modify your users.routes.go

package routes

import (
	"main/contollers"

	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func UserRouters(inComingRoutes *gin.Engine) {
	inComingRoutes.GET("/api/health", controllers.HealthCheck())
}
