when I execute below cmd:
go get k8s.io/client-go#v12.0.0
it tells me: "go: k8s.io/client-go#v12.0.0: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so module path must match major version ("k8s.io/client-go/v12")"
ok, then I changed the cmd to this:
go get k8s.io/client-go#v12.0.0+incompatible
then again, it still tells me the same error: go: k8s.io/client-go#v12.0.0+incompatible: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so module path must match major version ("k8s.io/client-go/v12")
one interesting thing puzzles me that if I add require k8s.io/client-go v12.0.0+incompatible to go.mod and then execute go mod tidy, then client-go v12.0.0 will be downloaded correctly.
My question is: how can I download this specific version of client-go via go get??
Go Version: v1.18
I used the go install command to download client-go
Here are two examples to install the latest or specific version.
go install k8s.io/client-go#latest
go install k8s.io/client-go#v0.25.3
See client-go installation section for more help,
client-go install
how can I download this specific version of client-go via go get
Not at all.
go get is for adding dependencies to your project.
To download source code in a certain version from the internet use git clone and git checkout.

Go has a nice feature where you can go install <x> and it will download, build and install a binary.
For example, on my local windows PC, go install github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser will find the latest release for goreleaser, download, build and install it to my local binaries path.
I am working on a project where we would like to enable go install, but encounter a problem if the github repo name does not match the executable name. The GitHub CLI itself runs into the exact same problem:
Example:
go install github.com/cli/cli#latest
go: downloading github.com/cli/cli v1.14.0
go: github.com/cli/cli#latest: module github.com/cli/cli#latest found (v1.14.0), but does not contain package github.com/cli/cli
Is there a way to resolve this?
Update: I worked out that I could directly reference the package via it's sub directory. In my particular instance this works: go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli/cmd/octopus#latest
This is a bit unpleasant, but works correctly. It doesn't work for the github CLI because their go.mod has a replace directive in it :-(
Question: Can this be made nicer? Is there a way to put some sort of alias or configuration file so that go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli#latest can be used instead of go install github.com/OctopusDeploy/cli/cmd/octopus#latest ?

No. Dead simple.
So,I recently started following a video tutorial and i am fairly new to golang and tried installing the forked version of bolt db using
$ go get go.etcd.io/bbolt/...
Note : I want to use this specific version
but i am getting an error which says
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
like 'go install example.com/cmd#latest'
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'
I read a few GitHub issues which say that go get is deprecated so how do I resolve this ?
I also tried few other things such as
go install go.etcd.io/bbolt/...
Go modules are today's standard. Especially if you are new to Go; do not spend time on material that do not use (and teach) them.
Run go mod init yourproject
in your project repository root directory. This will create go.mod file.
Once you have that you can either:
import go.etcd.io/bbolt in source code and then run go mod tidy. Go tool will find and add module to your dependencies (go.mod file). This is described in Getting started tutorial.
run go get go.etcd.io/bbolt directly, that will update dependencies too.
Using Go Modules series explains workflow in detail and will be helpful when converting commands from an outdated material.
I'm trying to make available a cli tool written in Go but I'm getting the following error when trying to install it using:
go install github.com/myuser/mytool#latest
The error:
go install: github.com/myuser/mytool#latest: module github.com/myuser/mytool#latest found (v0.0.1), but does not contain package github.com/myuser/mytool
I have created a v0.0.1 tag and added the binaries for release.
Also tried:
go get -u github.com/myuser/mytool
Then I get no output and the binary is not installed.
More Info:
go.mod:
module github.com/myuser/mytool
go 1.17
require github.com/fatih/color v1.13.0
require (
github.com/mattn/go-colorable v0.1.11 // indirect
github.com/mattn/go-isatty v0.0.14 // indirect
golang.org/x/sys v0.0.0-20211117180635-dee7805ff2e1 // indirect
)
Go version:
go version go1.17.2 darwin/arm64
Obs: I can install any other tool on github in the same way as the above.
EDIT
Someone has voted to close the issue for lack of clarity. Would help if you could also be more clear and say what do you think I'm missing here.
My assumption would be that you didn't publish this as a package. check out this link for information on modules and publishing.
I have a shell script setup for one of my projects to upload it as a package, shown below:
!/bin/bash
git tag $1
git push origin $1
GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/myuser/mytool#$1
$1 refers to the first parameter of the script, which is the version number.
I am very new to golang. I am trying to work with the gomod. Trying to explore the go buffalo framework. But finding a bit of difficulty in installing that.
What I have done:
I saw that go get is nomore supported for buffalo and so switched to go modules.
Created a module by go mod init github.com/webbuffalotest
Fetched go get -v github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo (on the same directory where I have go.mod file)
Fetched go get -v github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 (on the same directory where I have go.mod file)
go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
I was expecting a buffalo.exe inside %GOPATH%/bin so that I can add it to my path but didn't find one.
My question is what's wrong? Is the exe not installed or it's somewhere else because of go mod. Any help will be highly appreciated.
I am using windows 10. I am not willing to install package managers as scoop or choco to install buffalo. Thanks for your patience :)
Edited:
Also tried setting set GO111MODULE=on but of no use.
Solved:
My bad, I should have used go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo instead of go install github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo is a library; the corresponding binary is (aptly-named) github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo.
The go install command you ran should have warned you about that, but didn't because go install used to also be used to cache compiled libraries (it no longer does that in module mode).
I've filed https://golang.org/issue/46912 to add a diagnostic.
I'm trying to create a docker image for use in a build pipeline that has various tools pre-installed for building and testing go projects. One tool we need is golint but I'm struggling to see how to install a specific version of it. The reason I want to lock down the version is to avoid accidental / unwanted / unintended breakages at a later date.
For a start, looking here the versions are not exactly in an easy-to-type format.
Also when I try to use the following command
go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint#v0.0.0-20181217174547-8f45f776aaf1
I get an error
go: cannot use path#version syntax in GOPATH mode
Googling has so far yielded very few relevant results...
Is what I'm trying to do possible? Many thanks!
You need to be in go module mode to get code of a specific version, since in addition to downloading the code, the version is recorded in the go module file.
The easiest way to do this would be to create an empty directory, run go mod init, which will create a go.mod file.
Then, you can run go get golang.org/x/lint/golint#v0.0.0-20181217174547-8f45f776aaf1, which will add golint at that version to your go.mod file. You can then run go install golang.org/x/lint/golint from within that directory, which will install golint at the version specified into your $GOBIN directory (which defaults to $GOPATH/bin).
