Cannot find package

Hello fellow coders out there. I am having issues with this problem, as it claims that:

report.go:5:3: cannot find package "src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales (from $GOROOT) /workdir/src/src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales (from $GOPATH)

Can you please help? My code seems perfectly okay.

Thank you for reading this post.

src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales.go 
package sales

var Total = 1234.56
report.go 
package main

import(
  "fmt"
  "src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales.go"
)

func main() {
  fmt.Println(sales.Total)
}

Hey Alexander -

The import line doesn't need to include the specific .go file, just the package name. It also doesn't need the "src" directory because that's part of the default path Go will look in.

Your import should look like this:

import (
  "fmt"
  "code.my.com/git/sales"
)
