go mod doesn't work for github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.11 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

OS X 10.13.6

What did you do?

• make sure you're OUTSIDE OF GOPATH
• git clone https://github.com/kjk/modtest.git
• cd modtest
• go mod init github.com/kjk/modtest
• go build

What did you expect to see?

This should build.

What did you see instead?

$ go build
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/ast latest
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html latest
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown latest
main.go:8:2: unknown import path "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html": cannot find module providing package github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html

For some reason go mod has issue with github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html even though it works for github.com/gomarkdown/markdown and github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/ast.

The source of the problem seems to be:

$ go get -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html latest
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown latest
Fetching https://github.com?go-get=1
Parsing meta tags from https://github.com?go-get=1 (status code 200)
go get github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html: no matching versions for query "latest"

There is no problem when running same go get when in GOPATH.

@kjk I just looked into this, I was able to get your example working. I had to make a tiny modification as htmlHighlight is not defined, but after commenting out that line, I was able to run:

> git clone "https://github.com/kjk/modtest.git"
> cd modtest
> go mod init # To create a blank go.mod
> go mod tidy # To fill in the contents of go.mod
> go build
> ./modtest
Hello

Hello

[kjk]

@josephlr I fixed the compilation error in the code.

However, I believe you did this inside GOPATH (as indicated by (from $GOROOT) messages).

As I've indicated, you have to checkout the code outside of GOPATH.

Try repro steps after e.g. cd $HOME.

[josephlr]

@kjk Nope this was done outside of my GOPATH. The go build errors were just what happens if no go.mod file is present.

[josephlr]

Just tried this on darwin/amd64, got the same result. go mod init && go build && ./modtest produced no errors for me (building outside of GOPATH).

[kjk]

@josephlr Are you using go 1.11 or master? Did you set GO11MODULE env variable to something? (I didn't so it's auto).

I just double-checked and am still getting an error:

[kjk]

Also, what does go get -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html do?

$ go get -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/ast
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/ast latest
go: finding github.com/gomarkdown/markdown latest

$ go get -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html

go get github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html: no matching versions for query "latest"

https://github.com?go-get=1 is suspicious and only happens for html sub-package, not for ast sub-package.

[kjk]

And just to be sure, do GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html.

It works with GO111MODULE=off and fails with on or auto if not in GOPATH.

modtest kjk$ GO111MODULE=off go get -u -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html
github.com/gomarkdown/markdown (download)

modtest kjk$ GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html

@kjk Still no luck reproducing your bug on darwin/amd64

I'm outside of GOPATH, no Go environment variables set (except GOPATH), using go 1.11 installed from Homebrew latest. I even went an manually deleted the entire package cache. Here's my full output:

@josephlr Interesting. I tried to reproduce on another mac machine and couldn't.

So it's something specific to a setup on one machine but I have no ideas on how to investigate this further.

They both have similar setup, all programs from homebrew, kept up-to-date.

@kjk please can you try the following:

export GOPATH=$(mktemp -d)
cd $(mktemp -d)
git clone https://github.com/kjk/modtest.git
cd modtest/
go mod init
go build

[kjk]

That works, but I already said it works inside GOPATH.

@kjk

That works, but I already said it works inside GOPATH.

But this test was outside of GOPATH; notice GOPATH and your working directory are two different temporary directories, so by definition you are outside of GOPATH.

This therefore sounds like an issue with your build/module cache (most likely the latter).

Perhaps take a backup of $GOPATH/pkg/mod (in case we want to investigate further) and then run go clean -modcache and see whether your original problem persists.
