Can't use go get -u on this module with its current latest pseudo-version

[dmitshur]

This module is currently affected by an issue similar to openzipkin/zipkin-go#114. It can be reproduced with Go 1.12 as follows:

$ export GO111MODULE=on
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ go mod init m
go: creating new go.mod: module m
$ go get -u google.golang.org/genproto
...
go: finding github.com/golang/lint latest
go: github.com/golang/[email protected]: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"
...
go get: error loading module requirements
$ echo $?
1

To resolve this for this repository, its go.mod file needs to be updated to include newer versions of dependencies, in order to avoid pulling in older module versions that cause this conflict.

I haven't looked into the exact cause for this repo yet. It might be just a matter of waiting for golang/go#30833 to be resolved. I'll investigate more later.

Seems to be an issue with how go modules interprets modules whose names have changed (github.com/x/lint and golang.org/x/lint). Tracking discussion in golang/go#30831.

Since this is a core issue and affects anyone depending on x/lint, I'm closing this in favour of golang/go#30831.

@jadekler while we are waiting for a resoluton, do you mind updating your go.mod to point to the latest google.golang.org/[email protected].

@xomaczar What specific error are you seeing, and what version of genproto are you using (e.g., via go list -m all), and what version of what dependency is giving you that version of genproto (e.g., via go mod graph | grep genproto)?

There has been progress in other related issues. See googleapis/google-api-go-client#342 (comment) for example. You might need to manually change one or more versions in your go.mod though in order to then get back to being able to do go get -u.

@xomaczar Also, do the steps initially reported in #151 (comment) work for you, or do those exact steps listed there still give you a parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint" error?

[jeanbza]

+1, I'd also like to know if there are specific issues related to grpc at the moment.

@thepudds yes I can confirm the same error message mentioned by @dmitshur - however it was related to my internal module which was still using an old version of genproto. After bumping the version, all is good.
