Worker package is not compatible with go1.7

[stanislas-m]

Running go 1.7:

$ go version
go version go1.7.1 linux/amd64

When I try to execute tests in package "worker" (current development branch), I have the following error:

# github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/worker
./simple.go:73: undefined: time.Until

According to this commit (golang/go@67ea710), the Until function was added in go 1.8.

Yes, the developer branch now requires 1.8. It's not just that, but some other stuff around server context that also requires 1.8.

@markbates, in this case, maybe we should close this one? #213

[markbates]

Not sure why we would close that ticket. It's still an open issue getting GAE support.

[stanislas-m]

Well, maybe I'm a bit confused, but Buffalo should work on GAE on the flexible env from now. For me, the remaining issue was about the standard env, which still needs Go 1.6, but you said the new Buffalo requires Go 1.8.

[markbates]

Buffalo should work on flex, yes, the goal, however, is to get it work on standard. We're still waiting for standard to get updated so we can actually work on GAE support. GAE won't go to 1.7 next it will jump to 1.8. Once they do that we'll start working on GAE support.

Okay, I understand now. :) Thanks!
