error while getting dependencies of the helm v3 package

[amitjain3087]

Issue:-
I have done go get helm.sh/helm/v3 which is successfully happened but after that when I am doing go mod tidy I got
go: downloading GitHub - klauspost/compress: Optimized Go Compression Packages v1.13.6
go: finding module for package github.com/chai2010/gettext-go/gettext 1
helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/kube imports
k8s.io/kubectl/pkg/cmd/util imports
k8s.io/kubectl/pkg/util/i18n imports
github.com/chai2010/gettext-go/gettext: module github.com/chai2010/gettext-go@latest found (v1.0.2), but does not contain package github.com/chai2010/gettext-go/gettext

Assumption:-
It seems that helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/kube needs to update its reference to k8s.io/kubectl from v0.26.0 to v0.27.0 or later which looks to be the release where kubectl updated to v1.0.2 of github.com/chai2010/gettext-go where the package was changed from github.com/chai2010/gettext-go/gettext to just github.com/chai2010/gettext-go.

Hi @amitjain3087 I faced same issue now. Any go.mod entries to get past the issue ?

[amitjain3087]

Hi @Anshu-Garg, I am just pointing it to helm.sh/helm/v3 v3.9.4, but this is just a work around not a solution .
with v.3.10.* I am getting same issue

Can you be a bit more specific around your setup. If I create a basic go project that imports helm api, then go mod tidy works for me:

# dummy.go
package main

import (
	"helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/action"
)

func main() {
	a := action.Configuration{}
	a.Log("hi")
}

Create the module/project:

$ go mod init example.com/m
$ go get helm.sh/helm/v3

# go.mod
module example.com/m

go 1.19

require helm.sh/helm/v3 v3.10.3 // indirect

Run go mod tidy:

$ go mod tidy # no error
$ cat go.mod
module example.com/m

go 1.19

require helm.sh/helm/v3 v3.10.3

require (
        github.com/Azure/go-ansiterm v0.0.0-20210617225240-d185dfc1b5a1 // indirect
        ...

I am having go 1.17 in my environment , is that can be reason it is not working for me ??

I get a slightly different error if I set my go.mod version to go 1.17:

$ go mod tidy
go: downloading github.com/Masterminds/semver v1.5.0
go: downloading github.com/Masterminds/sprig v2.22.0+incompatible
go: downloading go.etcd.io/etcd v0.5.0-alpha.5.0.20200910180754-dd1b699fc489

        sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/kyaml/kio.test imports
        github.com/stretchr/testify/mock imports
        github.com/stretchr/objx loaded from github.com/stretchr/objx@v0.2.0,
        but go 1.16 would select v0.4.0

To upgrade to the versions selected by go 1.16:
        go mod tidy -go=1.16 && go mod tidy -go=1.17
If reproducibility with go 1.16 is not needed:
        go mod tidy -compat=1.17
For other options, see:
        https://golang.org/doc/modules/pruning

Since go 1.17 is unsupported, I think you will need to update to go 1.18 (or 1.19).
