how to use replace directives in go.mod in dev but not prod

[Alex Mills]

I put this question on the golang issue tracker on github:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41546

I am sure it's been answered before but hard to search for..anyone know what the right approach is? I like how node.js / NPM solve it using symlinks personally.

I just replied. I think that https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26640
covers this.

i dont understand, is there a solution or just a proposal?

[Paul Jolly]

26640 is an open issue describing the same problem you're describing. Unfortunately because it remains open there is not yet a solution.

CI probably is the anwser, made a utility based on golang.org/x/mod which parses go.mod and checks if replaces are there and exit with error state if they are.

This isn't the problem discussed in 26640 at least. There, the issue
is that it is not currently possible to have a go.mod.local file
_outside_ of source control that augments the real go.mod.
