Go11Modules go.mod?

[prologic]

How are you guys managing dependencies? I see a vendor/ directory but nothing managing it? Would you accept a PR that adds a go.mod and go.sum based off of what's currently in vendor/?

Thanks @prologic for the offer. As you have figured out already, we are currently using govendor.

We intend to switch to using go mod after releasing 0.9, and there is an ongoing effort to adopt go modules across the HashiCorp organization. Our initial research pointed to few trade-offs in setting nomad repo as a single module; e.g. needing to have /api package as a separate module, and potentially extracting plugins/drivers potentially from repo. Simple conversion of vendor/ into go mod wouldn't be an acceptable solution at this time.

Keep an eye for adoption of go mod after 0.9.0 ships.

@notnoop It's going to release 0.10 for now, and go 1.13 with modules enabled by default released. Is there any roadmap for nomad to migrate to go mod? I'm developing a nomad plugin and vendor troubled me a lot.

@Xuanwo Thanks for reaching out. We do plan to ease developing plugins with go mod against nomad as it's go mod is the way to go now. We are researching what's involved and will figure out what to do.

Hi @notnoop,
I'd like to move to go mod with my project, but at the moment I'm kind of blocked since nomad does not support go mod currently.
Do you have an update about the progress for the migration of nomad to go modules?

Reopening as we're actively working on switching to Go modules.

Closing this issue now as we are using go mod for Nomad 0.12.
