The old go get downloads and install the main package, so the binary is automatically created.

The behavior seems invalid now in vgo.

If I run vgo get outside of go module directory like this

$ vgo get github.com/someone/program

It raises error cannot determine module root; please create a go.mod file there

I know it is expected, but the old behavior was convenient way of install main packages.

So will it just not supported any more? Or maybe I am missing something?

@kybin I think you want vgo install here

@myitcv Thanks, but vgo install also not working if I run it outside of go module directory.

Sorry, I misunderstood the original post @kybin

vgo will only work within a module:

cd `mktemp -d`
export GOPATH=$PWD
echo 'module "rubbish.com/blah"' > go.mod
vgo install github.com/cespare/reflex

In the meantime you need to use the go tool to do what you want.

When the functionality of vgo is merged into the main go tool, how the go tool should behave in this situation will be well defined.

I'll close for now because this is not expected to work in vgo, and let @rsc correct anything above or re-open in case that's necessary.
