Error on 'go get' - impossible to build the suite

[gagbo]

Hello,

I'm not knowledgeable on Go, but running the go get command gives multiple errors on uuid :

$ go version

$ go get -u github.com/ops-class/test161/test161

A little of Googling led me to satori/go.uuid#66 that seems to be the origin of the bug, so I think the only way to fix it is to either change the included dependency or see how the API has changed, but I'm not sure.

I see following lines in generator.go.

func NewV4() (UUID, error) {
return global.NewV4()
}

The function is changed and it breaking the earlier references.

@shaseley: is there a good fix for this?

Someone on the thread of the issue is giving alternatives that apparently kept the old API
