Go: Build fails when go.mod has replace with relative URL

superherointj · October 18, 2022, 6:21pm

Building (in nix) fails when go.mod has replace with relative URL.

(Demo project properly builds out of Nix without an issue.)

The use of replace is necessary because URL does not match actual project URL which is a monorepo and private.

Thanks to @SuperSandro2000 for finding root issue:
buildGoModule is using go install which does not support replace in go.mod.

### What version of Go are you using (`go version`)? <pre> go version go vers…ion go1.16 linux/amd64 </pre> ### Does this issue reproduce with the latest release? yes ### What did you do? ``` cd /tmp; go install bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql@latest ``` ### What did you expect to see? go install finishing successfully ### What did you see instead? ``` go install bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql@latest: bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql@v0.0.0-20210306180040-be9c7b630c18 The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or more replace directives. It must not contain directives that would cause it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module. ``` given that genieql is the main module this error appears to be erroneous. other attempts I made all of which i would have expected to work properly (and use to): ``` cd /tmp; go install bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql/...@latest go install bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql/...@latest: bitbucket.org/jatone/genieql@v0.0.0-20210306180040-be9c7b630c18 The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or more replace directives.

It must not contain directives that would cause it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module. ```

Notice:

go install github.com/superherointj/go-barquinho-demo/src@latest

Shows same error message. So the problem is actually with go install.
