Go Modules: cannot find module providing package

[flic...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm playing with go modules in 1.11 beta 2.

I'm trying to convert a project from dep to go modules and having problems with one dependency qglgen. It boils down to the following:

$ go1.11beta2 get -u github.com/vektah/gqlgen@381b34691fd93829e50ba8821412dc3467ec4821                                                                                                           
go: finding github.com/vektah/gqlgen 381b34691fd93829e50ba8821412dc3467ec4821
go: finding github.com/vektah/gqlgen latest
go get github.com/vektah/gqlgen@381b34691fd93829e50ba8821412dc3467ec4821: cannot find module providing package github.com/vektah/gqlgen

This is when adding the one dependency explicitly with go get. I get similar results if I try to let go do the work by creating go.mod and running go build, but then it complains in a similar way about some of the subdirectories of qglgen as well.

qglgen itself has not a go.mod file. However earlier experiments with vgo had no problem using this dependency.

Any idea what the problem is.

Please can you confirm, what version of git are you using?

git version 2.7.4

Please see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26501

Unfortunately, 1.11beta2 has an issue with older git versions. This is
fixed in Go tip and will therefore be fixed in the next beta; in the
meantime you can upgrade your git version as a temporary measure (if
that's possible in your situation).

Thanks, will try that!
