Failure on distributing go binary - go

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.

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.

Why "undefined: StackGuardMultiplierDefault" error?

describe
When I clone GoAdminGroup/go-admin projectin github and run the project by the steps of README.MD file , I get this error
TEST-MBP:example TEST$ GO111MODULE=on go run main.go
go: downloading github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.11.0
go: extracting github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.11.0
go: finding github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 v1.11.0
# runtime/internal/sys
/Users/TEST/go/src/runtime/internal/sys/stubs.go:16:30: undefined: StackGuardMultiplierDefault
Actually my /Users/TEST/go/src folder was cloned from https://github.com/golang/go/tree/release-branch.go1.13/src
Why StackGuardMultiplierDefault was undefined in /src/runtime/internal/sys/stubs.go
As per my understanding you cloned the Go source code from it's github and expecting it to work. It will not work.
You need to to follow Go guide Installing Go from source if you want to install it from the (github) source. Only cloning the repository is not enough, there are some required steps to be done after that.
Otherwise I suggest to install by using the available binary distributions installer.
Detailed explanation: the const StackGuardMultiplierDefault is not found because the file where the const declared does not exists (the zversion.go file). This particular file is only generated when àll.bash is executed (part of steps on installling Go from source).

Go plugin - "plugin was built with a different version of package"

I have an application that loads plugins on startup (daemon). In a subpackage (daemon/interfaces), I have a few interfaces that plugins for this program should use.
This means that the main program also gets imported by the plugin.
I am using Go modules (for both the main program and the plugin) to fix the versions, and I can see in go.mod that it is using the latest version of the main program for the plugin.
I can build them both fine, but when I load the plugin it gives me an error saying
panic: plugin.Open("plugins/my-plugin"): plugin was built with a different version of package daemon/interfaces
I am using Go 1.12.7 to build both of the packages.
I fixed this by adding a replace statement to my plugin go.mod file
module github.com/user/plugin
go 1.12
require (
github.com/user/daemon v1.1.1
)
replace github.com/user/daemon v1.1.1 => ../local/path/to/daemon/
It also helps when you are building the project from outside of the directory where the source code is in by using the full name of the project (go build github.com/user/project/)
There is a related Github issue on the Golang repository that you can find here
Apparently, the issue is still open. The issue opener presented the workaround, which I was able to use. Please look at the history lines below for details.
git clone https://github.com/zimnx/central.git
git clone https://github.com/zimnx/plugins.git
cd central/
go clean -modcache
git checkout v1.0.0
go install -a
cd ../plugins/
rm go.mod
go mod init github.com/zimnx/plugins
echo '' >> go.mod
echo 'replace github.com/zimnx/central => ../central' >> go.mod
go build -buildmode=plugin -o plugin.so
central plugin.so
Works for me. Mistery still... :) The output has been saved for the most curious.

`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.

How do I import a specific version of a package using go get?

coming from a Node environment I used to install a specific version of a vendor lib into the project folder (node_modules) by telling npm to install that version of that lib from the package.json or even directly from the console, like so:
$ npm install express#4.0.0
Then I used to import that version of that package in my project just with:
var express = require('express');
Now, I want to do the same thing with go. How can I do that?
Is it possible to install a specific version of a package? If so, using a centralized $GOPATH, how can I import one version instead of another?
I would do something like this:
$ go get github.com/wilk/uuid#0.0.1
$ go get github.com/wilk/uuid#0.0.2
But then, how can I make a difference during the import?
Go 1.11 will have a feature called go modules and you can simply add a dependency with a version. Follow these steps:
go mod init .
go mod edit -require github.com/wilk/uuid#0.0.1
go get -v -t ./...
go build
go install
Here's more info on that topic - https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules
Really surprised nobody has mentioned gopkg.in.
gopkg.in is a service that provides a wrapper (redirect) that lets you express versions as repo urls, without actually creating repos. E.g. gopkg.in/yaml.v1 vs gopkg.in/yaml.v2, even though they both live at https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml
gopkg.in/yaml.v1 redirects to https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/tree/v1
gopkg.in/yaml.v2 redirects to https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/tree/v2
This isn't perfect if the author is not following proper versioning practices (by incrementing the version number when breaking backwards compatibility), but it does work with branches and tags.
A little cheat sheet on module queries.
To check all existing versions: e.g. go list -m -versions github.com/gorilla/mux
Specific version #v1.2.8
Specific commit #c783230
Specific branch #master
Version prefix #v2
Comparison #>=2.1.5
Latest #latest
E.g. go get github.com/gorilla/mux#v1.7.4
You can use git checkout to get an specific version and build your program using this version.
Example:
export GOPATH=~/
go get github.com/whateveruser/whateverrepo
cd ~/src/github.com/whateveruser/whateverrepo
git tag -l
# supose tag v0.0.2 is correct version
git checkout tags/v0.0.2
go run whateverpackage/main.go
Glide is a really elegant package management for Go especially if you come from Node's npm or Rust's cargo.
It behaves closely to Godep's new vendor feature in 1.6 but is way more easier. Your dependencies and versions are "locked" inside your projectdir/vendor directory without relying on GOPATH.
Install with brew (OS X)
$ brew install glide
Init the glide.yaml file (akin to package.json). This also grabs the existing imported packages in your project from GOPATH and copy then to the project's vendor/ directory.
$ glide init
Get new packages
$ glide get vcs/namespace/package
Update and lock the packages' versions. This creates glide.lock file in your project directory to lock the versions.
$ glide up
I tried glide and been happily using it for my current project.
Nowadays you can just use go get for it. You can fetch your dependency by the version tag, branch or even the commit.
go get github.com/someone/some_module#master
go get github.com/someone/some_module#v1.1.0
go get github.com/someone/some_module#commit_hash
more details here - How to point Go module dependency in go.mod to a latest commit in a repo?
Go get will also install the binary, like it says in the documentation -
Get downloads the packages named by the import paths, along with their dependencies. It then installs the named packages, like 'go install'.
(from https://golang.org/cmd/go/)
Update 18-11-23: From Go 1.11 mod is official experiment. Please see #krish answer.
Update 19-01-01: From Go 1.12 mod is still official experiment.
Starting in Go 1.13, module mode will be the default for all development.
Update 19-10-17: From Go 1.13 mod is official package manager.

Old answer:
You can set version by offical dep
dep ensure --add github.com/gorilla/websocket#1.2.0
From Go 1.5 there's the "vendor experiment" that helps you manage dependencies. As of Go 1.6 this is no longer an experiment. Theres also some other options on the Go wiki..
Edit: as mentioned in this answer gopkg.in is a good option for pinning github-depdencies pre-1.5.
dep is the official experiment for dependency management for Go language. It requires Go 1.8 or newer to compile.
To start managing dependencies using dep, run the following command from your project's root directory:
dep init
After execution two files will be generated: Gopkg.toml ("manifest"), Gopkg.lock and necessary packages will be downloaded into vendor directory.
Let's assume that you have the project which uses github.com/gorilla/websocket package. dep will generate following files:
Gopkg.toml
# Gopkg.toml example
#
# Refer to https://github.com/golang/dep/blob/master/docs/Gopkg.toml.md
# for detailed Gopkg.toml documentation.
#
# required = ["github.com/user/thing/cmd/thing"]
# ignored = ["github.com/user/project/pkgX", "bitbucket.org/user/project/pkgA/pkgY"]
#
# [[constraint]]
# name = "github.com/user/project"
# version = "1.0.0"
#
# [[constraint]]
# name = "github.com/user/project2"
# branch = "dev"
# source = "github.com/myfork/project2"
#
# [[override]]
# name = "github.com/x/y"
# version = "2.4.0"
[[constraint]]
name = "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
version = "1.2.0"
Gopkg.lock
# This file is autogenerated, do not edit; changes may be undone by the next 'dep ensure'.
[[projects]]
name = "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
packages = ["."]
revision = "ea4d1f681babbce9545c9c5f3d5194a789c89f5b"
version = "v1.2.0"
[solve-meta]
analyzer-name = "dep"
analyzer-version = 1
inputs-digest = "941e8dbe52e16e8a7dff4068b7ba53ae69a5748b29fbf2bcb5df3a063ac52261"
solver-name = "gps-cdcl"
solver-version = 1
There are commands which help you to update/delete/etc packages, please find more info on official github repo of dep (dependency management tool for Go).
go get is the Go package manager. It works in a completely decentralized way and how package discovery still possible without a central package hosting repository.
Besides locating and downloading packages, the other big role of a package manager is handling multiple versions of the same package. Go takes the most minimal and pragmatic approach of any package manager. There is no such thing as multiple versions of a Go package.
go get always pulls from the HEAD of the default branch in the repository. Always. This has two important implications:
As a package author, you must adhere to the stable HEAD philosophy. Your default branch must always be the stable, released version of your package. You must do work in feature branches and only merge when ready to release.
New major versions of your package must have their own repository. Put simply, each major version of your package (following semantic versioning) would have its own repository and thus its own import path.
e.g. github.com/jpoehls/gophermail-v1 and github.com/jpoehls/gophermail-v2.
As someone building an application in Go, the above philosophy really doesn't have a downside. Every import path is a stable API. There are no version numbers to worry about. Awesome!
For more details : http://zduck.com/2014/go-and-package-versioning/
The approach I've found workable is git's submodule system. Using that you can submodule in a given version of the code and upgrading/downgrading is explicit and recorded - never haphazard.
The folder structure I've taken with this is:
+ myproject
++ src
+++ myproject
+++ github.com
++++ submoduled_project of some kind.
That worked for me
GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/segmentio/aws-okta#v0.22.1
There's a go edit -replace command to append a specific commit (even from another forked repository) on top of the current version of a package.
What's cool about this option, is that you don't need to know the exact pseudo version beforehand, just the commit hash id.
For example, I'm using the stable version of package "github.com/onsi/ginkgo v1.8.0".
Now I want - without modifying this line of required package in go.mod - to append a patch from my fork, on top of the ginkgo version:
$ GO111MODULE="on" go mod edit -replace=github.com/onsi/ginkgo=github.com/manosnoam/ginkgo#d6423c2
After the first time you build or test your module, GO will try to pull the new version, and then generate the "replace" line with the correct pseudo version. For example in my case, it will add on the bottom of go.mod:
replace github.com/onsi/ginkgo => github.com/manosnoam/ginkgo v0.0.0-20190902135631-1995eead7451
It might be useful.
Just type this into your command prompt while cd your/package/src/
go get github.com/go-gl/mathgl#v1.0.0
You get specific revision of package in question right into your source code, ready to use in import statement.
The current way to do this is to use go install
https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
Starting in Go 1.17, installing executables with go get is deprecated. go install may be used instead.
go install github.com/someone/some_module
Specific version
go install github.com/someone/some_module#v1.1.0
Specific commit
go install github.com/someone/some_module#commit_hash
