"imported and not used" doesn't make sense for REPL usage about gore HOT 6 CLOSED

Strongly +1 for this feature, rather than a bug. In REPL developers mostly attempt several experiments and it does not make sense to statically check either redundant or unnecessary imports here.

This might be hard to fix, though.

One possible solution would be to import everything twice, once normally and once via blank import. Doesn't seem too complicated but I am not familiar with gore's import handling mechanism.

from gore.

gore already has a mechnism to detect unused imports and transform them to blank ones, so if it does not work this would be a bug. But I could not reproduce it.

nubilum% gore
gore version 0.2.6  :help for help
gore> :import github.com/BurntSushi/toml
gore> :import github.com/cactus/go-statsd-client/statsd
gore> stats, err := statsd.NewNoopClient()
&statsd.NoopClient{}
<nil>

Is there a package that I can use instead of seemingly unexisting package foo.com/web/bar/client?

from gore.

Closing because this is expected to work.

This bug still exists:

$ gore
gore version 0.5.6 :help for help
gore> :import time
gore> :import fmt
gore> fmt.Printf("hello")
"time" imported and not used
gore>
