App Engine Deploy can't find import: "github.com/dustin/gojson"

According to the docs, this is supports app engine deploys, but every single time I try to deploy with this package imported, I get this error:

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Error Response: [9] Deployment contains files that cannot be compiled: Compile failed:
/work_dir/github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda/vendor/github.com/dustin/go-jsonpointer/bytes.go:9: can't find import: "github.com/dustin/gojson"

2018/03/24 20:08:36 go-app-builder: failed running compile: exit status 2

it runs perfectly fine locally - only when i run gcloud app deploy, do i get this error

I deployed to compute engine instead, but leaving this open if it's important to others to get working in app engine

I'm not particularly familiar with AppEngine, but I'm not sure why it's not able to find the import. The GOPATH shouldn't matter, since the file is in fact vendored.

Searching for the error messages, all I see are issues like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43744415/appengine-cant-find-import-google-golang-org-appengine. Which command were you using to deploy?

I had the same problem. However, it was solved by using below goapp deploy command instead of gcloud app deploy.

$ goapp deploy --application ${app_id} --version ${version}
