does go get module always look in pkg.go.dev? - go

I want to use latest prometheus in my project. The latest code in github.com/prometheus/prometheus is at version v2.34.0
when i do go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus in my module, i get this line added to my go.mod
require github.com/prometheus/prometheus v2.5.0+incompatible // indirect
but this is not the one i want. i want latest code as in the repo.
i checked https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/prometheus/prometheus , there it shows the version is v2.5.0+incompatible, and was published on Nov 6, 2018
Does go get <module> always look in pkg.go.dev or is pkg.go.dev facing same issue as i am facing?
i tried going to GOMODCACHE and deleting the module version v2.5.0+incompatible and trying go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus#latest but it again pulls same version.
How do i get the latest source of prometheus in my mod cache?
Edit:
I was suggested to run go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus#v2.34.0, this is what i get
$ go get github.com/prometheus/prometheus#v2.34.0
go: github.com/prometheus/prometheus#v2.34.0: invalid version: module contains a go.mod file, so module path must match major version ("github.com/prometheus/prometheus/v2")

How To Download Client-Go V12.0.0 via Go Get Cmd Tool

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.

protoc-gen-go specific version require

I need a pre build project and I need a version of protoc-gen-go v1.25.0-devel but I am unable to find command etc to install It , till now I tried to do something like this :
go get -u google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go#v1.25.0-devel
and I am getting this ERROR invalid version: unknown revision cmd/protoc-gen-go/v1.25.0-devel
Is there any way to get this version ?
If you're following this post to create a sample service, you don't need the specific version 1.25.0-devel that appears in the generated files. You should use the latest stable version (currently v1.26.0). Since it is an minor version upgrade, there should be no breaking changes between versions. One thing that you may need to make the examples in the post to work is that you should set the package for the generated code. You can set it in the .proto file as an option, for example option go_package = grpc-example/generated/protos/calc or as a command line argument for the protoc command, for example protoc ...OTHER_OPTS --go_opt=Mprotos/calc.proto=grpc-example/generated/protos/calc.
If you are sure that you absolutely need the specific version v1.25.0-devel you can install the plugin pointing to a specific commit (as that version is not currently available as a tag/branch name). If you're using go 1.16.x you can use go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc#a9513eb pointing at this commit. For older go versions, use go get

go get fetching a pre-release version always

I am trying to wrap my head around go modules. This is what I have done so far.
Created a simple module and published it as 0.0.1 on github.
Referenced the above mentioned module in a separate go project and used it.
so far it works fine. Now I update the initial module to 0.0.2 and publish it as a release on github. Now when I try go get <published module> it still seems to fetch the original 0.0.1 version and run it. I also deleted all references to 0.0.1 including in go.mod and go.sum and run go get and it still fetches the original 0.0.1 version instead of 0.0.2.
I also tried publishing a major version 1.0.0 and tried to use it, but its still fetching the older 0.0.1 version. I thought it will automatically fetch the latest version and use that.
My go.mod file also shows the following even for the major version
require github.com/user/module v0.0.0-20210223020204-1b5fb712826f // indirect
I feel there could be something wrong in the way its being published on git. Any help, anyone.
It looks like the comments already highlighted the required steps to take, but to capture the information in an answer, here is the relevant snippet from go help get
The -u flag instructs get to use the network to update the named packages
and their dependencies. By default, get uses the network to check out
missing packages but does not use it to look for updates to existing packages.
Basically, go get will only fetch the versions locked in your go.{mod,sum} files and you need to explicitly ask for updates using one of:
# upgrade to the latest release
go get -u github.com/user/module
# upgrade to a specific version
go get github.com/user/module#2.0.0
# use the `latest` version alias
go get github.com/user/module#latest

How to prevent from `go build` to update the latest version of modules

I am using an open source project called "yaegi" in a large project.
I need to use older version of "yaegi": v.0.8.11, so I modified the go.mod file and replaced:
github.com/traefik/yaegi v0.9.2 // indirect with github.com/containous/yaegi v0.8.11
But when I build the project, it starts to update all the modules and replace it back to the most updated version:
root#ubuntu:~/myproj1# go build main.go
go: finding module for package github.com/traefik/yaegi/stdlib/unsafe
go: finding module for package github.com/traefik/yaegi/stdlib
go: finding module for package github.com/traefik/yaegi/interp
go: found github.com/traefik/yaegi/interp in github.com/traefik/yaegi v0.9.2
How can I prevent it and keep it using the old version v.0.8.11?
I read that according to https://tip.golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Maintaining_module_requirements:
The go command itself automatically updates the go.mod file to maintain a standard formatting and the accuracy of require statements.
Any go command that finds an unfamiliar import will look up the module containing that import and add the latest version of that module to go.mod automatically. […]
Any go command can determine that a module requirement is missing and must be added […].
Maybe there is a way to bypass it?
//indirect in go.mod means that at least one of your other modules you’re importing is dependent on that version of module, therefore go build shall automatically update that module, no matter how you changed that line in your go.mod. In your case if you don’t want to use yaegi module of v0.9.2 you have to first get rid of other dependencies dependent on that module from your project, and then fix your go.mod to make your project require yaegi v0.8.11. You can just delete them or make them require earlier version of yaegi by using their older version or editing their source code. Also, instead of editing go.mod directly, I’d run something like go get -v github.com/containous/yaegi#0.8.11 to checkout to a specific version of a module.

`go get` : unexpected end of JSON input

What version of Go are you using (go version)?
$ go version
v1.12
The module yiigo has tag v3.0.0, but when I run go get github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo, it gets the v2.1.0 and when I run go get github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo#v3.0.0, it shows: go get github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo#v3.0.0: unexpected end of JSON input
The primary issue seems to be that the v3.0.0 version of iiinsomnia/yiigo is missing the required /v3 at the end of the module line in its go.mod file:
https://github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo/blob/v3.0.0/go.mod#L1
module github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo <<<< wrong, missing required /v3 at end
go 1.12
require (
github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql v1.4.1-0.20190217072658-972a708cf979
...
That has since been corrected.
Because it is now a proper v3 module, the go get command should include a /v3 before the #:
module github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo/v3#v3.2.2
From the Go modules wiki:
If the module is version v2 or higher, the major version of the module must be included as a /vN at the end of the module paths used in go.mod files (e.g., module github.com/my/mod/v2, require github.com/my/mod/v2 v2.0.0) and in the package import path (e.g., import "github.com/my/mod/v2/mypkg").
Also, it looks like a related issue was opened, with the theory being that the odd "unexpected end of JSON input" error might have come from some proxy:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/30494
A way I've accomplished this in the past is by using git tags- for your case this should work fine.
Steps:
go get -u github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo
cd ~/go/src/github.com/iiinsomnia/yiigo
git tag
locate tag release version you'd like to install within list
git checkout v3.0.0
go install
This will overwrite the package previously installed in your GOPATH with a new one for the specific tag version you have checked out.
Note: there is likely a better way to do this since the release of go modules.
This related post also provides alternative solutions on how to retrieve a specific version of a project's source code that may lend some help.
