Fails with import errors with modules on Go 1.11

[atombender]

If I have a simple file such as this that refers to an imported package:

package mypackage
import "github.com/jackc/pgx"
// ...

then it fails with:

/Users/alex/.go/pkg/mod/github.com/jackc/pgx@v3.1.0+incompatible/batch.go:6:2: could not import github.com/jackc/pgx/pgproto3 (cannot find package "github.com/jackc/pgx/pgproto3" in any of:
	/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/src/github.com/jackc/pgx/pgproto3 (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/alex/.go/src/github.com/jackc/pgx/pgproto3 (from $GOPATH))

In other words, it's looking for the source in the old location, not in $GOPATH/pkg/mod.

I'm able to reproduce this in a small Go program that uses golang.org/x/tools/go/loader to load files, and I can confirm that it does not work with Go modules. (E.g. see this issue for discussion.) Apparently the golang.org/x/tools/go/loader library has been superceded by golang.org/x/tools/go/packages, which is module-aware.

@evanphx? This is a complete blocker on Go 1.11 with modules.

We are seeing similar errors from mockery after trying Go 1.11 with modules

...

go mod vendor does pull these dependencies into the repository's /vendor/ folder, but it appears that mockery doesn't look there for dependencies when generating mocks.

Any news ? This prevents us to use mockery. Thx !

[bliuchak]

Is there any working alternative for Go 1.11 with modules?

[euskadi31]

@bliuchak yes, I use Docker...

Dockerfile.generate

FROM golang:1.10-alpine
RUN apk --no-cache --update add git make
RUN mkdir -p /go/src/github.com/your-name/your-service
WORKDIR /go/src/github.com/your-name/your-service
RUN go get github.com/vektra/mockery/.../
CMD ["make", "inner-generate"]

Makefile

inner-generate:
	@go get ./...
	@go generate ./...

generate-builder:
	@docker build -f Dockerfile.generate -t your-service-generate .

generate: generate-builder
	@# hack for https://github.com/vektra/mockery/issues/213
	@echo "Generate..."
	@docker run --rm --name your-service-generate-running -v $(shell pwd):/go/src/github.com/your-name/your-service your-service-generate

It would be nice if you could add support to go mod

[glyn]

We've decided to use counterfeiter (which does support Go modules) instead of mockery in a new go modules project in spite of the fact that we've been happily using mockery in non-module code. Some of mockery's features are missed, but at least counterfeiter works. We could potentially switch back to mockery if/when this issue is fixed.

@evanphx?

[davisford]

Has there been a new release with PR #218? Doing standard install of mockery still has problem for me.

[atombender]

@davisford It's merged. This project doesn't do releases or tags, unfortunately, but go get -u (or cloning + go install) should get you the latest one. If you still have problems, maybe you can create a new issue, and I'll take a look.
