Unable to initialise submodule

[therealssj]

What version of dep are you using (dep version)?

dep:
 version     : v0.5.1
 build date  : 2019-03-11
 git hash    : faa6189
 go version  : go1.12
 go compiler : gc
 platform    : darwin/amd64
 features    : ImportDuringSolve=false

What dep command did you run?

dep ensure -v

What did you expect to see?

I have three repositories:

• https://github.com/therealssj/hardware-wallet-protob This contains the protobuffer files. No go code except an empty.go file in the go folder to make it a package

• https://github.com/therealssj/testingdep1. This repository adds the previous one as a submodule at src/device-wallet/messages

• https://github.com/therealssj/testingdep2. This repository adds the previous one as a dependency.

When I did dep ensure I expected dep to initialise the submodule.

What did you see instead?

No submodule on doing dep ensure. See here. When I do dep ensure the submodule is not initialised in https://github.com/therealssj/testingdep2.

Here is the dep ensure log:

> dep ensure --update -v

I found a similar issue but that does not provide any help. I created these repositories from scratch to figure out this issue.

Dep was officially deprecated earlier this year, and the proposal to archive this repository was accepted. As such, I'm closing outstanding issues before archiving the repository. For any further comments, please use the proposal thread on the Go issue tracker. Thanks!
