你需要

var test = "This is a test"

:= 仅适用于函数，小写的“t”仅对包可见（未导出）。

更彻底的解释

test1.go

package main

import "fmt"

// the variable takes the type of the initializer
var test = "testing"

// you could do: 
// var test string = "testing"
// but that is not idiomatic GO

// Both types of instantiation shown above are supported in
// and outside of functions and function receivers

func main() {
    // Inside a function you can declare the type and then assign the value
    var newVal string
    newVal = "Something Else"

    // just infer the type
    str := "Type can be inferred"

    // To change the value of package level variables
    fmt.Println(test)
    changeTest(newVal)
    fmt.Println(test)
    changeTest(str)
    fmt.Println(test)
}

test2.go

package main

func changeTest(newTest string) {
    test = newTest
}

输出

testing
Something Else
Type can be inferred

或者，对于更复杂的包初始化或设置包所需的任何状态，GO 提供了一个 init 函数。

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

var test map[string]int

func init() {
    test = make(map[string]int)
    test["foo"] = 0
    test["bar"] = 1
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(test) // prints map[foo:0 bar:1]
}

init 将在 main 运行之前被调用。
