mockgen always tries to pull latest version instead of required version(go.mod without vendor) in docker golang:1.13

[tocrafty]

docker image: golang:1.13
go version: go1.13.5
gomock version: all after v1.1.0
gomock work mode: reflect mode

However, in OSX, without docker, mockgen works well with go.mod. Very strange!

@tocrafty That sounds that you invoked the go run in a different directory than in the one that contains go.mod

Can you share a reproducer? There are many edge cases to using mockgen with modules. And the behavior is quite subtle (especially when you are not explicitly setting the GO111MODULE might change in the future)

This is a test to reproduce the bug.

mockgen_test is a simple project with only one golang interface III which has two methods g() and f(). There are two commits in master branch. The commit before master has only one method f().

To mock the interface III, I start a new project with two files:

// go.mod
module test_mockgen
go 1.13

require (
        github.com/tocrafty/mockgen_test v0.0.0-20191213124124-4cc03a747f1f
)

and

# Makefile
mockgen_version ?= latest

.PHONY: docker
docker:
        docker run --rm \
                -v $(shell pwd):/mockgen \
                -w /mockgen \
                golang:1.13 \
                make no-docker out=out-docker.go mockgen_version=$(mockgen_version)

.PHONY: no-docker
no-docker: out = out.go
no-docker: mockgen
        # make sure we are in directory with go.mod
        @echo $(shell ls -al go.mod)
        # print the expect mockgen_test version in go.mod
        @grep "github.com/tocrafty/mockgen_test" go.mod

        # make sure GO11MODULE is on
        GO111MODULE=on mockgen github.com/tocrafty/mockgen_test III > $(out)

        # if we got a mocked function g(), it means mockgen used a wrong version of mogckgen_test.
        @if grep "g()" $(out); then \
                echo "used wrong version"; \
        else \
                echo "ok"; \
        fi

.PHONY: mockgen
mockgen:
        GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/golang/mock/mockgen@$(mockgen_version)

make no-docker gives ok(it runs locally on my osx). mockgen_version=v1.1.0 make docker also gives ok. However, any version after v1.1.0 all give used wrong version. The output of make docker indicated that mockgen always tried to pull latest version of mockgen_test.

I can reproduce this. Let me look into this.
