User friendly error missing when using go's source entry incorrectly
Metadata
Current evaluation
Tracked to GitHub canonical/snapcraft#20 and closed by PR #97 (merge 7e6dc4b74, commit f15caeeb1), which added local-source support to the go plugin in snapcraft 0.5; maintainers noted the plugin now handles source-type projects differently.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Closed after elopio pointed out snapcraft 0.5 shipped go-plugin improvements resolving the traceback scenario, specifically PR #97 'go plugin: Support local sources' (merge commit 7e6dc4b74, commit f15caeeb1), which closed LP bugs #1499240 and #1515132.
