genny dependency issue

[giulianozor]

Description

Hello,
this worked fine yesterday 23/12/2019 with (probably) genny version 0.4.1 )v.5.x is 9 hours old right now)

I have a Dockerfile that from golang:1.13.4 uses
go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo

The command fails with the error

build github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo: cannot load github.com/gobuffalo/genny/gogen/gomods: module github.com/gobuffalo/genny@latest found (v0.5.2), but does not contain package github.com/gobuffalo/genny/gogen/gomods

In go.mod I have no reference to genny,so I suppose it is a dependency of buffalo

To be ablle to install buffalo can I use something lie
git config --global --add url."github.com/gobuffalo/genny@v0.4.1".insteadOf "https://github.com/gobuffalo/genny@latest"

Thanks

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

docker run --entrypoin bash -it golang/1.13.4
go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo

Expected Behavior

no errors

Actual Behavior

build github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo: cannot load github.com/gobuffalo/genny/gogen/gomods: module github.com/gobuffalo/genny@latest found (v0.5.2), but does not contain package github.com/gobuffalo/genny/gogen/gomods

Info

buffalo is not installed, so no "buffalo info"

Just wanted to say I have the same problem.

I'm trying to install buffalo on my dev machine with the command go get -u -v github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo.

go version: go version go1.13.5 linux/amd64

The problem is the -u flag tells Go to use @latest, which isn't compatible.

The solution, is to not use the -u flag and everything will compile correctly.

We will be reverting the v0.5 changes to prevent more issues with the -u flag, but I'm closing this bug as the solution is to just not use the -u flag and, instead, use the intended package versions.

still happens even without -u
