running buffalo dev with sqlite3 database misses "-o" and "tmp/sqlite-build" packages

[aramadsanar]

Hi all,

I am trying to start a buffalo project with sqlite3 as its database engine. There are no issues with starting the project and setting it up. However, I hit a problem upon running it with buffalo dev command. The error messages are cryptic enough and google search does nothing to help me on this issue :(

My buffalo installation are with sqlite enabled tag, and I am running this on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon Sarah. The details of the error are enclosed below (with username redacted for privacy):

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. buffalo new project_name --db-type sqlite3 //create the project with sqlite3 db engine
2. buffalo setup //setup the project
3. buffalo dev //run the project

Expected Behavior

I expect the project to run happily without any problem since the required packages are installed (at least what I think of)

Actual Behavior

I got this cryptic error message instead:

buffalo: 2018/06/17 15:24:47 === Error! ===
buffalo: 2018/06/17 15:24:47 === exit status 1
can't load package: package -o: cannot find package "-o" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/-o (from $GOROOT)
	/home/john-doe/go/src/-o (from $GOPATH)
can't load package: package tmp/tesqlite-build: cannot find package "tmp/tesqlite-build" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/tmp/tesqlite-build (from $GOROOT)
	/home/john-doe/go/src/tmp/tesqlite-build (from $GOPATH)

Likely to be associated with the requirement for quotes around multiple tags - ie:
$ go build -v -i -tags development sqlite
can't load package: package sqlite: cannot find package "sqlite" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/sqlite (from $GOROOT)
...

As opposed to:
$ go build -v -i -tags "development sqlite"
.. or
$ go build -v -i -tags development -tags sqlite

Quick hack to fix:
edit github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo/cmd/dev.go, and replace startDevServer as follows:

func startDevServer(ctx context.Context) error {
        cfgFile := "./.buffalo.dev.yml"
        if _, err := os.Stat(cfgFile); err != nil {
                err = rg.Run("./", map[string]interface{}{
                        "name": "buffalo",
                })
                if err != nil {
                        return err
                }
        }
        c := &refresh.Configuration{}
        if err := c.Load(cfgFile); err != nil {
                return err
        }
        c.Debug = devOptions.Debug
        tags := []string{"-tags","development"}
        if b, err := ioutil.ReadFile("database.yml"); err == nil {
                if bytes.Contains(b, []byte("sqlite")) {
                        tags = append(tags, "-tags")
                        tags = append(tags, "sqlite")
                }
        }
        c.BuildFlags = append(c.BuildFlags, tags...)
        r := refresh.NewWithContext(c, ctx)
        return r.Start()
}

cd into github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo/
go build
go install

Things should work from there.
