What did you do?

In a new directory, create a simple go file and a go.mod file and use vgo to build it:

mkdir main
cd main
nano main.go
package main // import "example.org/main"
func main(){}
touch go.mod
vgo build
cat go.mod

The output is as expected:

module "example.org/main"

Next, in a subdirectory add another vgo module and build it:

mkdir sub
cd sub
nano sub.go
package sub // import "example.org/main/sub"
import (
	"fmt"
	"rsc.io/quote"
)
func main() {
	fmt.Println(quote.Hello())
}
touch go.mod
vgo build
cat go.mod

The output is as expected:

module "example.org/main/sub"

require "rsc.io/quote" v1.5.2

Now back in the parent directory, execute vgo build ./... and retrieve the now unexpectedly changed contents of the go.mod file:

cd ..
vgo build ./...
cat go.mod

What did you expect to see?

module "example.org/main"

What did you see instead?

module "example.org/main"

require "rsc.io/quote" v1.5.2

Nice bug.

The problem is that each build always runs in the context of a single top-level repo. There's no direct connection between the parent dir and the sub dir (it's not like the parent dir mentions the sub dir in a replace directive or other connection).

At least for now I think the answer is that ./... should stop matching when it finds a directory containing a go.mod. That is, ./... can only match packages in the module where "." is, and sub would therefore be excluded.

Thanks for the quick response!

I think ideally, running vgo build ./... would build all the modules in the directory, with automatic dependency resolution for each module separately.

But I'm also not 100% sure what users expect as outcome for building this way with multiple modules in the directory.

Same need here on this repo: https://github.com/JFrogDev/gofrog
Like to have a go.mod for each folder creating 5 separate modules.

Same here, don't want deps for individual adapters to pollute the top level https://github.com/tcolgate/hugot. (will push go.mod attempt later today if I get a chance)

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/vgo that referenced this issue Jul 12, 2018
CL 117257 handled path patterns like ... or x/...
but not file system patterns like ./... or ./x/... .

Fixes golang/go#24605 again.
