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

$ go version 1.13

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What did you do?

  1. Added:
    replace gerrit.levenlabs.com/ctxtime => gerrit.levenlabs.com/ctxtime latest
    to my go.mod file.
  2. Run go get

What did you expect to see?

I expected it to leave latest in replace line so that the latest version is always fetched when go get is run. Ideally we can commit latest and when CI runs and calls go get it'll always get the latest version of this particular module (which is an internal/private module). Additionally, when developers run go get they also get the latest version of that module and when they run go get -u the go.mod file won't be changed to remove the latest directive.

What did you see instead?

When go mod tidy or go get is run, the latest is replaced with the latest version at that time.

This is intentional behavior as described in https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-The_go_mod_file. It's important that go.mod files only have versions in semver form to have reproducible builds for other modules that may depend on it.

I also recommend checking out https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Questions (and specifically the #modules slack).
