Kubebuilder: Support go modules

[kuroneko25]

now that https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules is a thing do we plan to switch from dep to go modules?

[droot]

Go modules do look promising, but still experimental in Go 1.11, we will wait for them to become stable and default in Go 1.12 before switching over.

FWIW deepcopy-gen seems to be facing issues generating files outside of $GOPATH: https://github.com/kubernetes/code-generator/issues/57

All my projects are using go modules today. I'm looking forward to the tools supporting go module ASAP. Otherwise, developing Kubernetes controllers will be a pain for me.

Really no idea on this one?

We need to fix our tooling issues (in progress) and make sure that Go modules properly work with the way we use transitive pinning.

also, I'm not sure if this was your intent, but you kind-of ended up sounding snarky/exasperated, which is not a great way to contribute to a conversation here. Prefer language like "what's left blocking this?" or "is there a timeline on addressing the blockers?" or even "how can I help with this?"

i would also really love, if this could be addressed. i'm running a monorepo with gomodules, but i have to keep my operator in a separate repo :(

I took a stab at moving Kubebuilder over to use Go modules. It's a pretty smooth transition, apart from some of the tooling breaking. The only one I had an issue with was https://sigs.k8s.io/controller-tools/cmd/controller-gen, and I think the fix for that to handle Go modules is tracked by https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/issues/120.

现在golang 1.12 已经发布了,kubebuilder 在什么时候支持go module呢,有详细的计划吗? 现在一起使用kubebuilder和go module是非常难受的体验,我也将持续关注kubebuilder对于go module的支持,也感谢你们的奉献
Now that Golang 1.12 has been released, when will Kubebuilder support go module? Do you have a detailed plan? It's a very difficult experience to use Kubebuilder and go module together. I will continue to focus on Kubebuilder's support for go module and thank you for your dedication.

We've switch controller-tools over, we still need to fix deepcopy-gen (WIP as part of the controller-gen refactor), and we're working on switching CR over, but we wouldn't mind some help on the CR side.

closing as per v2 (which has native go modules support!)
