Go only looks in my vendor directory if i spell the dependacy wrong. I used glide to add the vendor.
This import is spelled correctly
package goserver
import (
"net/http"
"fmt"
"github.com/gorilla/mux"
)
The result of a correctly spelled dep. Go looks in 2 directories and does not look into vendor tree directory
myhost:goserver myuser$ go build main.go
go-server/routers.go:6:2: cannot find package "_/Users/myuser/go/src/goserver/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux" in any of:
/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.9/libexec/src/_/Users/myuser/go/src/goserver/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux (from $GOROOT)
/Users/myuser/go/src/_/Users/myuser/go/src/goserver/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux (from $GOPATH)

The result of a incorrectly spelled dep. Go looks into 3 directories and looks into vendor directory

Proof that gorrila/mux is there
myhost:goserver myuser$ ls /Users/myuser/go/src/goserver/vendor/github.com/gorilla/mux/
