[davidsbond]

Describe Your Environment

Ubuntu 18.04.1
Go version go1.11 linux/amd64

Expected Behavior

When I run go build, the required packages are downloaded and my binary is compiled.

Actual Behavior

Compilation fails due to an error importing cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata

go: finding cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata latest
go: finding cloud.google.com/go/compute latest

This is also happening on 1.11.2. I've also added the output of different commands as they have varying errors

Thanks for filing this. We recently removed an incorrectly-added module. I had hoped that since we didn't tag that, it would go unnoticed. Unfortunately that does not seem the case - I think we have to do a new release.

In the meantime, you can add require cloud.google.com/go v0.32.0 to your go.mod to get around this issue (in v0.32.0, there was no go.mod yet).

[davidsbond]

Downgrading to v0.32.0 has fixed this issue for me. Thanks for the quick response

[jadekler]

This should now be fixed - if you depend on oauth2, it should pull in v0.33.1 of cloud.google.com/go, which contains the removal of the go.mod. v0.33.0 will be marked unsafe. Sorry again for breaking you!

[maxfofocker]

my error log is

../../../.gvm/pkgsets/go1.11.2/global/pkg/mod/golang.org/x/[email protected]/google/default.go:17:2: unknown import path "cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata": ambiguous import: found cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata in multiple modules:
    cloud.google.com/go v0.33.1 (~/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.11.2/global/pkg/mod/cloud.google.com/[email protected]/compute/metadata)
    cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata v0.0.0-20181114215827-b51c7c77b284 (~/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.11.2/global/pkg/mod/cloud.google.com/go/compute/[email protected])

I still can not to solve this error in my project.

my go version is : go version go1.11.2 darwin/amd64
