# https://golang.org/issue/46141: 'go mod tidy' for a Go 1.17 module should by # default preserve enough checksums for the module to be used by Go 1.16. # # We don't have a copy of Go 1.16 handy, but we can simulate it by editing the # 'go' version in the go.mod file to 1.16, without actually updating the # requirements to match. [short] skip env MODFMT='{{with .Module}}{{.Path}} {{.Version}}{{end}}' # For this module, the dependency providing package # example.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg is unambiguous in Go 1.17 (because only one # root of the module graph contains the package), whereas it is ambiguous in # Go 1.16 (because two different modules contain plausible packages and Go 1.16 # does not privilege roots above other dependencies). # # However, the overall build list is identical for both versions. cp go.mod go.mod.orig ! go mod tidy stderr '^go: example\.com/m imports\n\texample\.net/indirect imports\n\texample\.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg loaded from example\.net/ambiguous/nested@v0\.1\.0,\n\tbut go 1.16 would fail to locate it:\n\tambiguous import: found package example\.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg in multiple modules:\n\texample\.net/ambiguous v0.1.0 \(.*\)\n\texample\.net/ambiguous/nested v0.1.0 \(.*\)\n\n' stderr '\n\nTo proceed despite packages unresolved in go 1\.16:\n\tgo mod tidy -e\nIf reproducibility with go 1.16 is not needed:\n\tgo mod tidy -compat=1\.17\nFor other options, see:\n\thttps://golang\.org/doc/modules/pruning\n' cmp go.mod go.mod.orig # If we run 'go mod tidy -e', we should still save enough checksums to run # 'go list -m all' reproducibly with go 1.16, even though we can't list # the specific package. go mod tidy -e ! stderr '\n\tgo mod tidy' cmp go.mod go.mod.orig go list -m all cmp stdout all-m.txt go list -f $MODFMT example.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg stdout '^example.net/ambiguous/nested v0\.1\.0$' ! stderr . go mod edit -go=1.16 go list -m all cmp stdout all-m.txt ! go list -f $MODFMT example.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg stderr '^ambiguous import: found package example\.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg in multiple modules:\n\texample\.net/ambiguous v0\.1\.0 \(.*\)\n\texample\.net/ambiguous/nested v0\.1\.0 \(.*\)\n' # On the other hand, if we use -compat=1.17, 1.16 can't even load # the build list (due to missing checksums). cp go.mod.orig go.mod go mod tidy -compat=1.17 ! stderr . go list -m all cmp stdout all-m.txt go mod edit -go=1.16 ! go list -m all stderr '^go: example\.net/indirect@v0\.1\.0 requires\n\texample\.net/ambiguous@v0\.1\.0: missing go\.sum entry for go\.mod file; to add it:\n\tgo mod download example\.net/ambiguous\n' -- go.mod -- module example.com/m go 1.17 replace example.net/indirect v0.1.0 => ./indirect require example.net/indirect v0.1.0 require example.net/ambiguous/nested v0.1.0 // indirect -- all-m.txt -- example.com/m example.net/ambiguous v0.1.0 example.net/ambiguous/nested v0.1.0 example.net/indirect v0.1.0 => ./indirect -- m.go -- package m import _ "example.net/indirect" -- indirect/go.mod -- module example.net/indirect go 1.17 require example.net/ambiguous v0.1.0 -- indirect/indirect.go -- package indirect import _ "example.net/ambiguous/nested/pkg"
