Hyperledger Fabric Error Error getting chaincode code chaincode cannot find package

Question

I want to use cid package inside my chaincode. When I try to install chaincode, I get the following error:

Error: Error getting chaincode code chaincode: 
Error getting chaincode package bytes: Error obtaining dependencies for github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid: 
<go, [list -f {{ join .Deps "\n"}} github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid]>: failed with error: "exit status 1" 
cannot load package: package github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid: cannot find package "github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid" in any of:
/opt/go/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid (from $GOROOT)
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid (from $GOPATH)

I am usind Docker to run peer, orderer, ca, and cli containers. 

How to solve this?

Answer 1

In the startFabric.sh launch the cli container using:

docker-compose -f ./docker-compose.yml up -d cli

In your compose yaml file, you should see something like this:

./../chaincode/:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/

If you see this declaration, copy in your local machine the folder /hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/lib/cid into your chaincode folder. You should find it in chaincode/abac if you are using the last version of fabric samples
