go get: error loading module requirements

What did you expect to see?

Fetching requirements properly.

What did you see instead?

Can't fetch requrements.

Make sure you include information that can help us debug (full error message, exception listing, stack trace, logs).

Anything else we should know about your project / environment?

After I pinned protobuf to version 1.2.0, the pipeline worked again.

go get github.com/golang/protobuf/{[email protected],[email protected]}

I just realized that pinning protobuf fixed the build step, but in the lint step the problem again appeared but this is probably related to golint itself, not protobuf, sorry.

grpc upgrade to 1.19.0 and pinning protobuf stuff to 1.2.0 helped, so there is maybe an issue here with the latest release dependencies.

[dsnet]

As of #808, golang/protobuf no longer has any external dependencies listed in the go.mod file.

[dmitshur]

@dsnet Thank you for doing that!

Are you planning on making a new semver tag, so that go get github.com/golang/protobuf@latest resolves to a version with the newly empty go.mod file (instead of v1.3.0, which still has a bigger go.mod)?

[negbie]

Same here.
go: github.com/golang/[email protected]: parsing go.mod: unexpected module path "golang.org/x/lint"

[dsnet]

Done. v1.3.1 has been tagged.
