When running "go get -u" for github.com/johnwyles/vrddt-reboot:

sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph/go-diff@v0.5.1: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "github.com/sourcegraph/go-diff"

Thanks for reporting. This is an issue that needs to be fixed in the github.com/johnwyles/vrddt-reboot project. It needs to start importing go-diff via its new import path github.com/sourcegraph/go-diff/diff. It has recently changed, see PR #30.

The old import path can only be used at v0.5.0 or older. go get -u tries to upgrade to the latest version, which is only valid at the new import path.

You are correct; I am new to go modules but basically I was able to clear this out by rm-ing the go.mod and starting fresh with a new go mod init. I am unsure which package was updated that this came from and how it became an issue but thank you for clearing that up. I will close this issue now :)

I'm still running into this issue when running go get -u on https://github.com/ian-howell/airshipctl. Refreshing the go.mod file doesn't seem to have helped. Further, github.com/sourcegraph/go-diff isn't even listed in my go.mod file. Any ideas?

[dmitshur]

@ian-howell It's not showing up in your go.mod file because you're requiring it indirectly, not directly.

Specifically, you're requiring the module github.com/golangci/golangci-lint at version v1.16.0, see here. That module version requires go-diff at its previous path, see here. This has been fixed on master branch of golangci-lint via PR golangci/golangci-lint#487, but a new release tag hasn't been made yet. You should ask them to make one, and update to it (or use a newer pseudo-version from master branch).
