What did you do?

I installed from master and am having a similar problem to #68116

From doc link in the hover popup: (URL: http://127.0.0.1:63774/gopls/on0HKAhym30/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers?view=1#Builder)

From the Source Action: (URL: http://127.0.0.1:63774/gopls/on0HKAhym30/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers/go?view=1#Builder

Note the difference in the URLS....

http://127.0.0.1:63774/gopls/on0HKAhym30/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers?view=1#Builder
http://127.0.0.1:63774/gopls/on0HKAhym30/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers/go?view=1#Builder

The first one doesn't work, the second one does.

Note: The specific issue in #68116 is fixed. I can now get to the grpc.DialContext w/o issue ... but something is still janky resolving the package name maybe?

[findleyr]

Thanks, we'll take a look and fix for v0.16.1 if possible.

I think @adonovan had not yet reproduced this. I'm sure there's a bug here, but it might not make v0.16.1, which we want to release early next week in light of the US holidays.

[adonovan]

Indeed, I couldn't reproduce it. I notice that (a) there's no go.mod file and (b) the import path reported by go list is strange (or perhaps normal for pre-module packages?). Gopls' Hover seems to work fine on the result though, at least when it was invoked within the flatbuffers/go package. (@freeformz Is that what you were doing, or were you using Hover on a symbol imported from flatbuffers from outside the package?)

go$ pwd
/Users/adonovan/w/flatbuffers/go
go$ GO111MODULE=off go list -json . | head 
{
	"Dir": "/Users/adonovan/w/flatbuffers/go",
	"ImportPath": "_/Users/adonovan/w/flatbuffers/go",
	"Name": "flatbuffers",
	"Doc": "Package flatbuffers provides facilities to read and write flatbuffers objects.",

@adonovan Maybe you can help your fellow Googler's ;-) ? google/flatbuffers#7783

[freeformz]

@adonovan To expand on what I did ...

import (
	flatbuffers "github.com/google/flatbuffers/go"
)
...
func FinishMeasureBuffer(builder *flatbuffers.Builder, offset flatbuffers.UOffsetT) {
	builder.Finish(offset)
}
...

Hover over *flatbuffers.Builder in the function declaration, scroll down in the popover to the flatbuffers.Builder in gopls doc viewer and click that link to : http://127.0.0.1:60961/gopls/6eXi_3Yn_Pg/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers?view=1#Builder

I get the 404 error

Alternatively .. in the same code at the same place, right click on *flatbuffers.Builder in the function declaration, choose Source Action... from the menu, then click on Browse documentation for type flatbuffers.Builder and I get directed to: http://127.0.0.1:60961/gopls/6eXi_3Yn_Pg/pkg/github.com/google/flatbuffers/go?view=1#Builder

Which works and renders the documentation.

So one code path figured out the correct url (source action), the other one (popover) doesn't.
