Go get is pulling the wrong repository - go

My module is gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger
My repository is gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger.git
When I run go get gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger, I get the message below.
Scotts-Mac-mini:seeding syacko$ go get gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger
go get gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger: module gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger: git ls-remote -q origin in /Users/syacko/workspace/sotesoft/golang/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/80b3644beae1b986f1c659355360479e2463820660aa328d2edb1e571aba259b: exit status 128:

fatal: repository 'https://gitlab.com/getsote/utilities.git/' not found
Scotts-Mac-mini:seeding syacko$
The gitlab.com/getsote/utilities.git is a sub-directory and not a repository. I don't understand why go get is going to the utilities as a repository?

go.mod file
module slogger or gitlab.com/getsote/utilities/slogger -> still gets the error below

gitlab.com/getsote/utilities contains repository slogger.git
I have run a test to see if the issue is the number of nodes in the path. So, I create a new repository with no sub-directory and pushed the slogger code. Then ran go get gitlab.com/getsote/slogger which generate a different error message.

========================
Newest Update
#praveent > The solution at https://medium.com/cloud-native-the-gathering/go-modules-with-private-git-repositories-dfe795068db4 didn't work for me. So I started from scratch to see how to resolve the issue.

The reason is because for a git repository it assumes that utilities is the repo and not utilities/slogger
There is a way to override this behavior by implementing go get API. But, gitlab is yet to implement the same due to security concerns. You can read more here. Gitlab issue
Update: Add reference to gitlab issue tracking this problem.

So, here is how I got this to work using gitlab.com. I'm not saying other ways will not work, they just didn't for me and my setup. First, since I don't care if the code is available to the public, I created a new group at gitlab.com. This new group is public from the start, so no need to adjust permissions. Then I create a repository called packages and cloned the repository to my local machine with the same directory structure that is in gitlab.com, gitlab.com/soteapps/packages with ~/workspace/soteapps/packages on my machine. Both of these are out side the GOPATH. I'm not sure this matters, but it is working this way, so I'm putting it here.
Under packages, I copied the slogger directory and code.
cp -R slogger ~/workspace/soteapps/packages/.
Edited the go.mod file to match the repository structure, which is in the packages directory. There is no go.mod file in the slogger directory.
module gitlab.com/soteapps/packages
go 1.14
Edited the hello.go import to match the package.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"rsc.io/quote"
"gitlab.com/soteapps/packages/slogger"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(quote.Hello())
slogger.Info("Test message")
}
Built the program using go build -o hello and then ran it hello with the following results:
Scotts-Mac-mini:hello syacko$ hello
Hello, world.
INFO:2020/04/10 21:11:33 Test message
Scotts-Mac-mini:hello syacko$
Worked! Thank you all that helped. This wouldn't of gotten solved without your help.
Note: This only works for public repositories.

Invalid version control suffix in bitbucket.org/ path when importing private repo in golang

The steps I took:
1- Configure .gitconfig
[url "ssh://git#bitbucket.org/"]
insteadOf = https://bitbucket.org/
2- export GOPRIVATE=bitbucket.org/myproject/helpers-go
3- go get
my go.mod file ->
module bitbucket.org/myproject/x/test-service
go 1.16
require (
bitbucket.org/myproject/helpers-go v0.0.2
)
replace bitbucket.org/myproject/helpers-go => bitbucket.org/myproject/helpers-go.git v0.0.2
My ssh key works. I can push/pull each services.
I also have the v0.0.2 tag on my last helpers-go commit.
I am trying to import private repo(helpers-go) into (test-service) and the error I get is :
go: bitbucket.org/myproject/helpers-go#v0.0.2: invalid version control suffix in bitbucket.org/ path
Even if I change the v0.0.2 to something random like v0.0.9 which I don`t have a tag like this, I still get the same error.
Appreciate the help...
it is solved:
1- I was using go 1.16 and there was an issue with bitbucket private repos not being supported for this version. I don`t think it has the same issue with gitlab. Upgrading it to go 1.19
2- Small change here .org/ -> .org:
[url "git#bitbucket.org:"]
insteadOf = https://bitbucket.org/
3- Also making sure the private repo I am importing has a file that ends with .go. My .go files were all in other folders leaving main folder without a .go file.

Go mod private repo on bitbucket

I have a project to do at my job and we're using Bitbucket. So we have all our repos like this :
bitbucket.org/company/project Nothing new here.
I have created a repository called go-tools, his module name is bitbucket.org/company/go-tools and his path his bitbucket.org/company/go-tools
Following this medium post I could achieve a go mod tidy
package whatever
import (
"bitbucket.org/company/go-tools"
"bitbucket.org/company/go-tools/env"
// and so on ...
)
The problem occurs when I try to replace "bitbucket.org/company" by "company.com" because we would like to have our company name instead bitbucket.
So my module name become company.com/go-tools instead of bitbucket.org/company/go-tools
And my imports become :
package whatever
import (
"company.com/go-tools"
"company.com/go-tools/env"
// and so on ...
)
I have set my GOPRIVATE to use bitbucket and configured git to use bitbucket instead of company.com
git config --global url."https://{username}:{app password}#bitbucket.com/company".insteadOf "https://company.com"
go env -w GOPRIVATE=bitbucket.org/company
And from there I only get a 404 error telling me that my package can't be found.
Did anyone have an idea why ? Am I misunderstanding something ?
NOTE : I also read this
Thanks #adrian for your reply this answer my question for at least a part.
I was more looking for a way of just go get 'company.com/whatever' but this is ok.
So if I understand correctly I need to go get bitbucket.org/company/whatever first and then go mod edit -replace bitbucket.org/company/whatever=company.com/whatever
Thanks

go-swagger restapi/configure_todo_list.go - api.TodoGetHandler undefined error

I am a newbie in go and go-swagger. I am following steps in Simple Server tutorial in goswagger.io.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04, swagger v0.25.0 and go 1.15.6.
Following the same steps, there are a few differences of the files generated. For instance, goswagger.io's has find_todos_okbody.go and get_okbody.go in models but mine does not. Why is that so?
Link to screenshot of my generated files vs
Link to screenshot of generated files by swagger.io
Starting the server as written in the tutorial go install ./cmd/todo-list-server/ gives me the following error. Can anyone please help with this?
# my_folder/swagger-todo-list/restapi
restapi/configure_todo_list.go:41:8: api.TodosGetHandler undefined (type *operations.TodoListAPI has no field or method TodosGetHandler)
restapi/configure_todo_list.go:42:6: api.TodosGetHandler undefined (type *operations.TodoListAPI has no field or method TodosGetHandler)
The first step in goswagger.io todo-list is swagger init spec .... Which directory should I run this command in? I ran it in a newly created folder in my home directory. However, from the page, it shows the path to be ~/go/src/github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/examples/tutorials/todo-list. I am not sure whether I should use go get ..., git clone ... or create those folders. Can someone advise me?
Thanks.
This is likely the documentation lagging behind the version of the code that you are running. As long as it compiles, the specific files the tool generates isn't so crucial.
This is a compilation error. When you do go install foo it will try to build the foo package as an executable and then move that to your GOPATH/bin directory. It seems that the generated code in restapi/configure_todo_list.go isn't correct for the operations code generated.
All you need to run this tutorial yourself is an empty directory and the swagger tool (not its source code). You run the commands from the root of this empty project. In order not to run into GOPATH problems I would initialise a module with go mod init todo-list-example before doing anything else.
Note that while the todo-list example code exists inside the go-swagger source, it's there just for documenting example usage and output.
What I would advice for #2 is to make sure you're using a properly released version of go-swagger, rather than installing from the latest commit (which happens when you just do a go get), as I have found that to be occasionally unstable.
Next, re-generate the entire server, but make sure you also regenerate restapi/configure_todo_list.go by passing --regenerate-configureapi to your swagger generate call. This file isn't always refreshed because you're meant to modify it to configure your app, and if you changed versions of the tool it may be different and incompatible.
If after that you still get the compilation error, it may be worth submitting a bug report at https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/issues.
Thanks #EzequielMuns. The errors in #2 went away after I ran go get - u -f ./... as stated in
...
For this generation to compile you need to have some packages in your GOPATH:
* github.com/go-openapi/runtime
* github.com/jessevdk/go-flags
You can get these now with: go get -u -f ./...
I think it's an error of swagger code generation. You can do as folloing to fix this:
delete file configure_todo_list.go;
regenerate code.
# swagger generate server -A todo-list -f ./swagger.yml
Then, you can run command go install ./cmd/todo-list-server/, it will succeed.

Go Mod trying to download a non-existent package

Go mod giving below error when I use command go mod tidy
go: finding module for package github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/Backend/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/Backend/
' not found
The problem is it is still trying to refer a path github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/Backend/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit which is non-existent now, it is github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit. In line 3 it is pointing to the correct path github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/MySqlDBLib/Model imports but in line 4 it's pointing to older path again github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/Backend/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit. Why is go mod pointing to a repo which no longer exists even when it's basically pointing to new repo first.
There is no reference of github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/Backend/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit internally from github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/MySqlDBLib/Model, in code it does refer to correct directory which is github.com/NirmalVatsyayan/MySqlDBLib/MySqlConnInit
you can use the replace option in your go.mod
like :
replace (
fake/path/of/package => ../real/address
)
then run go build your_main_file.go or go run your_main_file.go

Using forked package import in Go

Suppose you have a repository at github.com/someone/repo and you fork it to github.com/you/repo. You want to use your fork instead of the main repo, so you do a
go get github.com/you/repo
Now all the import paths in this repo will be "broken", meaning, if there are multiple packages in the repository that reference each other via absolute URLs, they will reference the source, not the fork.
Is there a better way as cloning it manually into the right path?
git clone git#github.com:you/repo.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/someone/repo
If you are using go modules. You could use replace directive
The replace directive allows you to supply another import path that might
be another module located in VCS (GitHub or elsewhere), or on your
local filesystem with a relative or absolute file path. The new import
path from the replace directive is used without needing to update the
import paths in the actual source code.
So you could do below in your go.mod file
module some-project
go 1.12
require (
github.com/someone/repo v1.20.0
)
replace github.com/someone/repo => github.com/you/repo v3.2.1
where v3.2.1 is tag on your repo. Also can be done through CLI
go mod edit -replace="github.com/someone/repo#v0.0.0=github.com/you/repo#v1.1.1"
To handle pull requests
fork a repository github.com/someone/repo to github.com/you/repo
download original code: go get github.com/someone/repo
be there: cd "$(go env GOPATH)/src"/github.com/someone/repo
enable uploading to your fork: git remote add myfork https://github.com/you/repo.git
upload your changes to your repo: git push myfork
http://blog.campoy.cat/2014/03/github-and-go-forking-pull-requests-and.html
To use a package in your project
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/PackageManagementTools
One way to solve it is that suggested by Ivan Rave and http://blog.campoy.cat/2014/03/github-and-go-forking-pull-requests-and.html -- the way of forking.
Another one is to workaround the golang behavior. When you go get, golang lays out your directories under same name as in the repository URI, and this is where the trouble begins.
If, instead, you issue your own git clone, you can clone your repository onto your filesystem on a path named after the original repository.
Assuming original repository is in github.com/awsome-org/tool and you fork it onto github.com/awesome-you/tool, you can:
cd $GOPATH
mkdir -p {src,bin,pkg}
mkdir -p src/github.com/awesome-org/
cd src/github.com/awesome-org/
git clone git#github.com:awesome-you/tool.git # OR: git clone https://github.com/awesome-you/tool.git
cd tool/
go get ./...
golang is perfectly happy to continue with this repository and doesn't actually care some upper directory has the name awesome-org while the git remote is awesome-you. All import for awesome-org are resovled via the directory you have just created, which is your local working set.
In more length, please see my blog post: Forking Golang repositories on GitHub and managing the import path
edit: fixed directory path
If your fork is only temporary (ie you intend that it be merged) then just do your development in situ, eg in $GOPATH/src/launchpad.net/goamz.
You then use the features of the version control system (eg git remote) to make the upstream repository your repository rather than the original one.
It makes it harder for other people to use your repository with go get but much easier for it to be integrated upstream.
In fact I have a repository for goamz at lp:~nick-craig-wood/goamz/goamz which I develop for in exactly that way. Maybe the author will merge it one day!
Here's a way to that works for everyone:
Use github to fork to "my/repo" (just an example):
go get github.com/my/repo
cd ~/go/src/github.com/my/repo
git branch enhancement
rm -rf .
go get github.com/golang/tools/cmd/gomvpkg/…
gomvpkg <<oldrepo>> ~/go/src/github.com/my/repo
git commit
Repeat each time when you make the code better:
git commit
git checkout enhancement
git cherry-pick <<commit_id>>
git checkout master
Why? This lets you have your repo that any go get works with. It also lets you maintain & enhance a branch that's good for a pull request. It doesn't bloat git with "vendor", it preserves history, and build tools can make sense of it.
Instead of cloning to a specific location, you can clone wherever you want.
Then, you can run a command like this, to have Go refer to the local version:
go mod edit -replace github.com/owner/repo=../repo
https://golang.org/cmd/go#hdr-Module_maintenance
The answer to this is that if you fork a repo with multiple packages you will need to rename all the relevant import paths. This is largely a good thing since you've forked all of those packages and the import paths should reflect this.
Use vendoring and submodules together
Fork the lib on github (go-mssqldb in this case)
Add a submodule which clones your fork into your vendor folder but has the path of the upstream repo
Update your import statements in your source code to point to the vendor folder, (not including the vendor/ prefix). E.g. vendor/bob/lib => import "bob/lib"
E.g.
cd ~/go/src/github.com/myproj
mygithubuser=timabell
upstreamgithubuser=denisenkom
librepo=go-mssqldb
git submodule add "git#github.com:$mygithubuser/$librepo" "vendor/$upstreamgithubuser/$librepo"
Why
This solves all the problems I've heard about and come across while trying to figure this out myself.
Internal package refs in the lib now work because the path is unchanged from upstream
A fresh checkout of your project works because the submodule system gets it from your fork at the right commit but in the upstream folder path
You don't have to know to manually hack the paths or mess with the go tooling.

The modern answer (go 1.15 and higher, at least).
go mod init github.com/theirs/repo
Make an explicit init arg that is the ORIGINAL package names. If you don't include the repo name, it will assume the one in gopath. But when you use go modules, they no longer care where they are on disk, or where git actually pulls dependencies from.
To automate this process, I wrote a small script. You can find more details on my blog to add a command like "gofork" to your bash.
function gofork() {
if [ $# -ne 2 ] || [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ]; then
echo 'Usage: gofork yourFork originalModule'
echo 'Example: gofork github.com/YourName/go-contrib github.com/heirko/go-contrib'
return
fi
echo "Go get fork $1 and replace $2 in GOPATH: $GOPATH"
go get $1
go get $2
currentDir=$PWD
cd $GOPATH/src/$1
remote1=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)
cd $GOPATH/src/$2
remote2=$(git config --get remote.origin.url)
cd $currentDir
rm -rf $GOPATH/src/$2
mv $GOPATH/src/$1 $GOPATH/src/$2
cd $GOPATH/src/$2
git remote add their $remote2
echo Now in $GOPATH/src/$2 origin remote is $remote1
echo And in $GOPATH/src/$2 their remote is $remote2
cd $currentDir
}
export -f gofork
You can use command go get -f to get you a forked repo
in your Gopkg.toml file add these block below
[[constraint]]
name = "github.com/globalsign/mgo"
branch = "master"
source = "github.com/myfork/project2"
So it will use the forked project2 in place of github.com/globalsign/mgo
