For this error:
github.com/golang/lint@v0.0.0-20190409202823-959b441ac422: parsing
go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"
That is saying 'github.com/golang/lint' was loaded, but the 'go.mod' found
at that location for that version had a different module name
('golang.org/x/lint') declared in the go.mod there. The 'go' command does
not allow that mismatch between how a module is referenced vs. how the
module declares its identity in its go.mod.
You can probably make it work by adding a 'replace' statement for
github.com/golang/lint using the version from just before the 'go.mod' was
added there.
Here is an example.
First, verify we get a similar failure with 'go get -u' for this old
version of zipkin-go:
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ git clone -b v0.1.5 --depth=1 https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin-go
.
$ go get -u
...which fails with the same error you reported:
github.com/golang/lint@v0.0.0-20190409202823-959b441ac422: parsing
go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"
We can add a replace for the version of github.com/golang/lint from just
before the 'go.mod' was added there. This will be a temporary measure that
allows this upgrade to succeed, and then 'go mod tidy' will drop
github.com/golang/lint from the module graph as no longer needed in this
case.
$ echo 'replace github.com/golang/lint => github.com/golang/lint
5614ed5bae' >> go.mod
$ go get -u
$ go mod tidy
$ go mod graph | grep github.com/golang/lint
...which now succeeds, and the grep finds nothing for the older github.com
name.
There is a good chance that technique will work for you. There is a longer
explanation of why that error occurs and why that technique usually works
in this troubleshooting FAQ on the "Modules" wiki:
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-can-i-resolve-parsing-gomod-unexpected-module-path-and-error-loading-module-requirements-errors-caused-by-a-mismatch-between-import-paths-vs-declared-module-identity
An alternative solution can be to try with the tip / master version of Go,
which has better upgrade logic that can often sidestep this problem, and
also often has a better error message for this situation:
$ go get golang.org/dl/gotip && gotip download
$ gotip get -u all
$ gotip mod tidy
Hope that helps, but reply back to the list with more details if it does
not.
