When trying to install a binary using go get the installation fails when GO111MODULE=on and the directory you are in does not contain a go.mod file.

This only fails when GO111MODULE=on, otherwise the go get is successful and binary is installed.

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

go version go1.11rc1 darwin/amd64
GO111MODULE=on

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

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

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCACHE="/Users/markbates/Library/Caches/go-build"
GOEXE=""

What did you do?

export GO111MODULE=on
go1.11.rc1 get -v github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo
$GOPATH/bin/buffalo version

What did you expect to see?

v0.12.5

What did you see instead?

This is, I think, a variant of #24250
