Fix fatal error: evacuation not done in time problem


5491 views 25th September 2014


Encounter one of the strangest error messages in Go today regarding evacuation. Now, what the heck "evacuation" has to do with programming language ? Apparently it has something to do with locks.

This error message :

"fatal error: evacuation not done in time"

is caused by accessing a map from multiple go-routines and ....map is not thread-safe.

Solution :

Check if the RLock or Lock is in proper place. Might need some fine tuning through trial and error.

p/s : This solution is applicable to the error message fatal error: bad state as well.
