cmd/go: 1.11beta2 cannot find module providing package #26695

What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?

go version go1.11beta2 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes, it affects go1.11beta2.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)?

What did you do?

Tried to build a trivial application 'modapp' which depends on specific package 'lib' from trivial module 'modlib'. The repository is tagged as 'modlib/v1.0.0'.

I have posted full description of the issue on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51560387/how-to-import-specific-package-from-go-module

A quick way to reproduce is:

# 1) install go1.11beta2
# 2) run:
git clone https://github.com/udhos/modhello
cd modhello/modlib
go list -m all
cd ../modapp
go install

I have been told the git version may be important:

$ git --version
git version 2.18.0

What did you expect to see?

modapp should have been compiled and installed as ~/go/bin/modapp without errors.

However I may well be doing something wrong.

What did you see instead?

go install
go: finding github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib/lib latest
go: finding github.com/udhos/modhello latest
go: import "github.com/udhos/modhello/modapp" ->
        import "github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib/lib": cannot find module providing package github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib/lib

@udhos Did you run these steps before pushing your repo to github? Right now, your repo works fine and it does not reproduce the error when following the steps above.

This is likely because modapp requires modlib as an "independent dependency" because you have multiple go.mod files in the same repo. Therefore, when you first try to run go install inside modapp, Go tries to fetch modlib from upstream (which you may not have pushed to github at that point) and therefore it cannot find it.

Having one go.mod per repo would solve this.

udhos · 2018-07-30T17:39:20Z

Yes, I tested the steps to reproduce it before opening the issue.
I wonder if there could be anything cached somewhere persistently causing the issue for me.

Having one go.mod per repo would solve this.

When I hit this issue, I was actually trying to figure out how to host two distinct modules at the same git repository while also importing a specific package from a module.

I mean:

Multiple modules hosted at single repo.
Multiple packages hosted at single module.

As far as I can tell, such a layout is supported, right?

udhos · 2018-07-30T18:10:31Z

@marwan-at-work I have just tested the steps with a new user and it indeed worked as expected... So I guess there is something cached in the homedir of the old user...

I can reproduce with @rsc 's A Tour of Versioned Go

[supei@localhost hello]$ cat go.mod

I believe this bug is fixed in 90066bf

bcmills · 2018-08-02T22:01:46Z

This seems to work for me (with git 2.18.0, which suggests that @sillyousu's theory is correct).

modapp$ go list -m all
go: finding github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib v1.0.0
github.com/udhos/modhello/modapp
github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib v1.0.0

modapp$ go build .
go: downloading github.com/udhos/modhello/modlib v1.0.0

modapp$

bcmills · 2018-08-02T22:02:37Z

(But please do let us know if it's still broken at head, or at go1.11beta3 whenever that comes out.)

udhos · 2018-08-02T22:07:50Z

I don't think it's a git issue, because I am running git 2.18.0 as well.
I think it is some Go caching issue, because it affects one user but not other newer user, both on the same system. Both users share system-wide go 1.11beta2 and git 2.18.0.

bcmills · 2018-08-02T22:11:48Z

You may need to run go clean -modcache to clear out cached data from before the fix.

udhos · 2018-08-02T22:48:37Z

go clean -modcache did fix it! Thanks!
