Go modules issues

I’m trying to set up a dev environment for aerc, and I started with the derivation in master, which works perfectly, provided I call it with a default.nix like this:

with import <nixpkgs> {}; \
let 
  buildGo112Module = callPackage <nixpkgs/pkgs/development/go-modules/generic> {
   go = buildPackages.go_1_12; }; 
  aerc = callPackage ./aerc.nix { go=go_1_12; buildGoModule=buildGo112Module; }; 
in aerc 

(where aerc.nix is the derivation in master).

I have two problems.

nix-build

I tried cloning the repository and doing a nix-build with the same setup (except for src=./.;), and I get this:

go build \ -ldflags "-X                                                                                                                                        main.Prefix=/nix/store/yi3xzhbidi22rj6kq9k7hj9vrwdjwnjf-aerc-0.2.1 \ 
  -X main.ShareDir=/nix/store/yi3xzhbidi22rj6kq9k7hj9vrwdjwnjf-aerc-0.2.1/share/aerc \ 
  -X main.Version=0.2.1" \
   -o aerc

So it seems that go modules from github are being installed normally, but those from different repositories are erroring.
How can I solve that?

Going back to an earlier commit, between the one in the original derivation and master, where the packages were all in github, nix-build runs successfully.

nix-shell

Also, if I do nix-shell and then fetchPhase, configurePhase, in the buildPhase I get:

flags: SHELL=/nix/store/mn4jdnhkz12a6yd6jg6wvb4mqpxf8q1f-bash-interactive-4.4-p23/bin/bash go build \ 
  -ldflags "-X main.Prefix=/usr/local \ 
   -X main.ShareDir=/usr/local/share/aerc \ 
   -X main.Version=0.2.1" \ 
   -o aerc

Is this an issue of setting $GOPATH? But why does it work in nix-build and not here?

Could you please reformat the logs of nix-build and nix-shell? Where the domain git.sr.ht is used, It’s almost unviewable unless one scrolls to the right… It’s also not very clear because of this which message came out first.

Wow, sorry, I didn’t notice that copy and paste mess.

I believe it was something like this, but I’m on a different PC now.

Never mind, the first problem was just me not having changed the modSha256.

Still don’t know what to do about the second one, though.

And this fixed the second problem too, but I don’t know why

with import <nixpkgs> {};
let 
  buildGo112Module = callPackage ~/src/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/go-modules/generic {
    go = buildPackages.go_1_12;
  };
  aerc = callPackage ./aerc.nix { go=go_1_12; buildGoModule=buildGo112Module; };
in 
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "build";
  buildInputs = aerc.buildInputs ++ aerc.nativeBuildInputs ++ [];
  shellHook=''
        export GOCACHE=$TMPDIR/go-cache
      export GOPATH="$TMPDIR/go"
      mkdir -p "''${GOPATH}/pkg/mod/cache/download"
      '';
}

I fixed the nix-shell problem like this:
