Bug Summary

Describe the bug:

When fetching chained dependencies for the registry library, the command fails due to the index generator dependency not pointing to a valid revision reference. This is because of replace redirection on v0.0.0 which does not work when referencing the module externally.

To Reproduce:

Run go get github.com/devfile/registry-support/registry-library@latest.

Expected behavior

Consumers should be able to successfully fetch the registry library module along with all dependencies of it.

Any logs, error output, screenshots etc? Provide the devfile that sees this bug, if applicable

go: github.com/devfile/registry-support/index/generator@v0.0.0: reading github.com/devfile/registry-support/index/generator/go.mod at revision index/generator/v0.0.0: unknown revision index/generator/v0.0.0

Additional context

Any workaround?

Use earlier revisions of registry library which does not have this bug.

Suggestion on how to fix the bug

Change revision ref for index generator to latest one for both dependency reference and replace reference.

Using github.com/devfile/registry-support/index/generator v0.0.0-20240311135803-6215550f93d4 for index generator dependency reference.

Confirmed these changes fix the fetching of the registry library under devfile/library.

Need to create a backport patch for 1.1.x for this bug.
