What happened?

I'm following the guide in Getting Started page. This is the error when I execute go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen init:

$ go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen init

I'm standing in my project root with a go.mod file:

go 1.18

What did you expect?

I expect it to work.

Minimal graphql.schema and models to reproduce

• go version?
  Answer: go version go1.18.3 windows/amd64

I was following the getting started from the docs https://gqlgen.com/getting-started/
I had the same issue, some packages need to be updated.

Running go get -u , will update the packages , this should fix the issue

I was able to run the command by setting specific version go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen@v0.17.31 init.

Using go run is the newer way to replace "tool.go", as said in Go Wiki page how-can-i-track-tool-dependencies-for-a-module
