Does not build go 1.11

[cep21]

Hi,

Your go.mod file prevents golang-lru from building on go 1.11. Is 1.12 a strict requirement of the library? If not, can the go.mod file be modified to allow other go versions at least to go 1.11?

Thanks!

What error are you seeing? What specific go version?

[cep21]

You have go 1.12 in your mod file.

$ make build
486go build -mod=readonly ./...
487go build github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru/simplelru: module requires Go 1.12
488make: *** [build] Error 1

This is go 1.11

What specific go version? It builds just fine for me using go 1.11.12.

Did you use it as a dependency or the module directly? Try it as a dependency.

This works fine with 1.11.12:

$ cat go.mod 
module lrutest

require github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru v0.5.3

$ cat main.go 
package main

import lru "github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru/simplelru"

func main() {
        lru.NewLRU(128, nil)
}

$ go1.11.12 build

I believe this is because your Travis build is using go1.11.0. This will almost certainly not work as its module support is highly broken. Please update your Travis config to the latest 1.11.x version of Go (currently 1.11.12).
