The zip checksums in the broken part of go.sum were removed. I think the reason is that readGoSum returns an error but the callers of readGoSum (first, second) ignore that error. Before returning the error, readGoSum will already have updated the global goSum structure. Effectively, this means that commands which parse go.sum will parse only the non-broken part and ignore the rest.

What did you expect to see?

An error telling me that my go.sum is broken

What did you see instead?

No error, handling only the non-broken part of go.sum

I enjoy this behavior on go mod tidy, when I have merge conflicts with my go.mod and go.sum files I just merge two go.mod files and leave go.sum as-is, then go mod tidy fix all of it. Double check for good measure but it always gets it right AFAIT (picks the oldest versions of the two).

Yup, go mod tidy does fix broken go.sum 👍

Definitely a low-priority bug, just reporting it for awareness

I agree that go mod tidy should continue to fix a broken go.sum file, and I also agree that filling in those missing error checks seems like a good idea. Want to send a fix?

cmd/go: make malformed go.sum a fatal error
80fc35b 
In 6232dad, many errors related to go.sum were changed from base.Fatal
to error returns. The malformed go.sum error was lost in the process.
Currently, when go encounters a malformed go.sum file, go will read the
well-formed part of the file and then silently ignore the rest.

The motivation behind moving away from base.Fatal was to make the errors
show up in -json output. Simply propagating the malformed go.sum error
would not achieve this:

- For an argument-less 'go mod download -json' with a go>=1.17 module,
  a malformed go.sum causes an error during LoadModGraph already, before
  go ever starts downloading modules and printing their JSON
- In other cases, a malformed go.sum would be reported as Error for one
  of the modules (presumably the one which gets downloaded first) but
  none of the others

Switch the error back to a Fatal one, but give 'go mod tidy' an
exception to let it fix broken go.sum files.

Ended up not being as simple as I expected (simply filling in the missing error checks did not achieve what I needed)

Nevertheless, I've sent a somewhat hacky fix 😅
