I am getting this error from go mod tidy when I am trying to update my dependancies. I am primarily developing a webhook service to use with cert-manager and I cannot figure out how to resolve this dependency isssue since the packages I am dependent on are created by other developers and I cannot control those "sub dependency".
This is my output:
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv: module go.opentelemetry.io/otel#latest found (v1.9.0), but does not contain package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv
I looked the package up here: https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv
and the problem for me seems like that the package have been restructured like this:
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.9.0
as a subdirectory instead of package version.
Is there a way I can manipulate the underlying dependancy of the packages that my service is depending on?

You may want to use a local copy of the module where you can fix the issue and use it. Steps for that
Clone the module repository git clone https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go.git
If needed, checkout to a branch/tag git checkout branch_name
In the go.mod file of your module, add the following lines
replace (
go.opentelemetry.io => /path/where/cloned/opentelemetry-go
)
Now you should be able to modify code in the cloned opentelemetry-go repo and use it in your module

I have a go project where the common functionality is implemented , and there is an another go project for the API which uses common functionality from the first project. API project uses the common project , the imports are done from git hub.
I have added a new functionality to the common project and trying to access that new functionality in API project . I have pushed the code to my branch in git hub (new code not there in master branch of common project) . How can I import the new functionality to API project
you could import packages from specific branch like this
go get <path-to-repo>#<branch>
You're probably looking for go get -u github.com/yourcommonproject. From go help get:
The -u flag instructs get to update modules providing dependencies
of packages named on the command line to use newer minor or patch
releases when available.
The -x flag might also be useful in debugging:
The -x flag prints commands as they are executed. This is useful for
debugging version control commands when a module is downloaded directly
from a repository.

I recently added a new package and directory to my Go project, and now when I try to build it, I get errors about a password error on Gitlab.
I am not importing a new remote package, I am simply adding a new directory underneath my already declared module path. For instance, my go.mod has gitlab.com/example/api and the package I added is gitlab.com/example/api/postgres.
I am not actually hosting on gitlab, I just needed something to name the project as I worked on it. Clearly it won't find it on gitlab, but it is available locally. Why is go-get trying to download a package/path that is available locally?
Why is it only happening for this new package, and not for all of the existing package under this path?
Golang 1.14
You have to add replace above the require block in your go.mod to work with local package. For example:
replace gitlab.com/example => /Users/abc/projects/gitlab.com/example

I'm currently working something on AWS Cloudformation which using this repo https://github.com/awslabs/goformation. Because I did some customise so I made a fork https://github.com/vrealzhou/goformation.
Now in my other project (using go module) I'm trying to using go get github.com/vrealzhou/goformation#v2.3.1 and I've got this error:
go: github.com/vrealzhou/goformation#v0.0.0-20190513073615-ff3b65adb278: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "github.com/awslabs/goformation"
go: error loading module requirements
Does anyone know the reason and how to solve this problem? Thanks
You can use replace in your go.mod to use a fork instead of the upstream version. That way, you can make whatever modifications you need to the code without having to update the module path or import paths.
To be specific, in this case, you can do the following in your go.mod (I tested this by forking the repo, making a small change, and confirming it showed up):
require github.com/awslabs/goformation v1.4.1
replace github.com/awslabs/goformation => github.com/vrealzhou/goformation master
The first time you build or test, master will be replaced by the latest pseudo-version for your fork to make sure you get repeatable builds. The replace requires a specific version for the replacement.
I'm trying to understand how to work with Golang and forks. The situation is the following, I'm writing a library project which depends on library github.com/other/some_dependency, which isn't mine.
Because some_dependency is missing some methods that I need, I fork it to github.com/me/some_dependency. However, I can't just do go get github.com/me/some_dependency, the library references itself so it breaks.
In this article they give a possible solution:
go get github.com/other/some_dependency
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/other/some_dependency
git remote add fork git#github.com:me/some_dependency
git rebase fork/master
Now, this is hacky at best. There is no way from the code of the library to know that the dependency is coming from a different repo. Anyone doing go get of my library wouldn't manage to make it work.
As dep is expected to be the official dependency manager. I've found how to fix the version:
dep ensure -add github.com/foo/bar#v1.0.0
But I cannot find how to set a different remote. Is is possible to do it?
As an example, in Node.js with npm it is dead simple:
npm install git+https://git#github.com/visionmedia/express.git
If you look at the help you will see this:
<import path>[:alt source URL][#<constraint>]
So to add github.com/foo/bar from location github.com/fork/bar you have to add it like this:
dep ensure -add github.com/foo/bar:github.com/fork/bar
The source location will be added as source attribute in the Gopkg.toml.

My Problem
Elastic Beats is an open source project for log shippers written in Go. It features several log outputs, including console, Elasticsearch and Redis. I would like to add an output of my own - to AWS Kinesis.
I have cloned the repo to ~/github/beats, and tried building it:
$ cd filebeat; go build main.go
However, it failed due to a missing library which is a part of the project:
main.go:6:2: cannot find package "github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat/cmd" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat/cmd (from $GOROOT)
/Users/adam/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat/cmd (from $GOPATH)
A directory of the project is dependent on a package from the same repo, but instead of looking one directory up the hierarchy it looks in the GOPATH.
So, go get github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat/cmd fetched the code, and now go build main.go works. Changing the code in my GOPATH is reflected in these builds.
This leaves me with an structural inconvenience. Some of my code is at a working directory, and some of it is at my GOPATH and included by the code in my working directory.
I would like to have all my code in a single directory for various reasons, not the least being keeping everything under version control.
What Have I Tried
Mostly searching for the problem. I am quite new to Go, so I might have missed the correct terminology.
My Question
What is the right way to edit the code of an imported library in Go?
One of the recommended ways to work with other's packages is:
Get the sources of the original package:
go get github.com/elastic/beats
As a result you will clone project's git repository to the folder
$GOPATH/src/github.com/elastic/beats
Make some fixes, compile code, fix, compile... When you make go install package will be compiled and installed to your system. When you need merge updates from original repository you can git pull them.
Everything is OK. What's next? How to share your work with others?
Fork project on github, suppose it will be github.com/username/beats
Add this fork as another remote mycopy (or any other name you like) to your local repository
git remote add mycopy git://github.com/username/beats.git
When all is done you can push updated sources to your repo on github
git push mycopy
and then open a pull-request to original sources. This way you can share your work with others. And keep your changes in sync with mainstream.
Previous answers to this question are obsolete when developing projects that using Go Modules.
For projects that using Go Modules, one may use the following command to replace an imported library(eg. example.com/imported/module) with a local module(eg. ./local/module):
go mod edit -replace=example.com/imported/module=./local/module
Or by adding the following line into the go.mod file:
replace example.com/imported/module => ./local/module
Reference Docs: https://golang.org/doc/modules/managing-dependencies#unpublished
A project working copy should be checked out into $GOPATH/src/package/import/path - for example, this project should be checked out into /Users/adam/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats. With the project in the correct location, the go tooling will be able to operate on it normally; otherwise, it will not be able to resolve imports correctly. See go help gopath for more info.
