Hi,

Any idea ?
what do you think about provides binaries from releases ?

Try to omit -u, this sometimes causes issues

[nlamirault]

Same error. Strange.

[amckinley]

+1, same problem, with or without the -u flag.

[fionaliao]

It works for me when the command is run within a Go module.

E.g.

go mod init example.com/test-mixtool
go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool

Outside of a module, I get the same error message.

So it seems to be something about modules and versioning but I'm not sure about the root cause.

[tomwilkie]

Just run into this myself; and git clone and then go build in the repo works fine. Go modules are such a pain...

[tomwilkie]

Note, it looks like GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool works.

So I suspect its something about the local environments not using go modules for go get. I can't seem to get go get to use modules without explicitly telling it to. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of go with go install or something. What a mess.

Thanks @brancz it works with :

GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool

I've got an error on dependency with update :

Looks to me that the @unknwon may have recently renamed their github from capitalized to all lowercase ... not exactly sure what best to do.

go 1.16 will bring some lights: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#go-command

changing GO111MODULE to on and other improvements.
