Sops: golang package thrift fails to install

[brad-jones]

Attempting to use go.mozilla.org/sops/decrypt, installing in a go modules based project with go v1.12

$ go get go.mozilla.org/sops/decrypt

It would appear the thrift project is now located at https://github.com/apache/thrift

This might be old news to some but just discovered this really neat feature of go modules, called replace.

For anyone else using go modules, just add the following into your go.mod:

replace git.apache.org/thrift.git => github.com/apache/thrift v0.12.0

see: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#when-should-i-use-the-replace-directive

This looks like an issue with your dependency management and not with sops? We vendor all our packages so this shouldn't happen at all.

[brad-jones]

For those that are using go modules or some other dependency management tool I have tracked down the root cause.

• go.mozilla.org/sops/decrypt depends on:
  
  
  
  • various packages such as golang.org/x/* which depend on:
    
    
    
    
    
    • cloud.google.com/go which depends on:
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      • go.opencensus.io which depends on:
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        • git.apache.org/thrift.git
        
        
        
        
        
      
      
      
      
    
    
    
  
  

see: https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/issues/993

I believe this should resolve it's self once they release a new version with this commit https://github.com/census-instrumentation/opencensus-go/commit/3b8e2721f2c3c01fa1bf4a2e455874e7b8319cd7

Until then the replace directive above works just fine.
