Re: [go-nuts] Modules + go get
Yes I think defaulting to go get -u without modules is best too. Because modules allow version compatibility, and so code intended for use with modules may not work at the repo HEAD, asking go get to fetch without building may be more reliable.

If you saw this behaviour then that is a bug. Or did you mean GO111MODULE=auto or GO111MODULE is unset (in addition to GOPATH being unset)? If you have any repro steps that would be useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.

Re: [go-nuts] Modules + go get
This sort of "global" get/install is being discussed in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/24250 (which will also cover the documentation point). It's marked as "release blocked" for Go 1.12. For now, I think the best approach is to: GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/my/package i.e. drop back to GOPATH-mode. You can optionally set GOBIN as you suggest, but not necessary because GOPATH will default to $HOME/go Paul On Mon, 10 Sep 2018 at 09:41, Caleb Spare wrote: > > What's the best substitute for "go get my/tool" in a modules world? > > I used to be able to tell my users to set up Go with a GOPATH workspace and > then run "go get -u github.com/my/package".

[go-nuts] Modules + go get
What's the best substitute for "go get my/tool" in a modules world? I used to be able to tell my users to set up Go with a GOPATH workspace and then run "go get -u github.com/my/package". I can't find an equivalent workflow now. The closest I can find is GOBIN=~/bin GO111MODULES=on go get github.com/my/package@latest But this drops go.mod/go.sum files in the current directory, which I don't want. Is there some command to just build and put a binary in a directory without touching any other files (outside the cache)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
