Error building project with redis lib : duplicate method private

Issue tracker is used for reporting bugs and discussing new features. Please use

Trying to build sample project with redis library included.
Error:

# go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace
../go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/config.go:117:2: duplicate method private

Code:

var client = redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
        Addr:     "host:6379",
        Password: "",
        DB:       0,
})

err := client.Set(ctx, "name", redisValue, 0).Err()

Expected Behavior

Should build the executable file.

Current Behavior

Facing Error

# go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace
../go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace/config.go:117:2: duplicate method private

What could be wrong here?

Should be variation of #1534

hi @vmihailenco thanks for your response.
Actually, I am able to build the package if I exclude redis functionality from the project, only when I include redis functionality it fails with the above error.

Any solution to this @avikagg ? I'm having the same problem, but it was only introduced after I vendored opentelemetry after successfully using the redis package

Turns out the opentelemetry library is not compatible with Go 1.13 or earlier. You are probably trying to build on an older Go version. https://golang.org/doc/go1.14#language

I had this issue with go version 1.13.

I installed the following go version 1.16, modified my go.mod file to the following:

`module github.com/example

go 1.16

require (
github.com/go-redis/redis/v8 v8.8.1
github.com/gomodule/redigo v1.8.3
github.com/nitishm/go-rejson/v4 v4.0.0
)
`

my code is attached:

This worked and the output is below:
`
rgarimel-mn3:example rgarimel$ go run main.go
Executing Example_JSONSET for Redigo Client
Success: OK
Student read from redis : main.Student{Name:main.Name{First:"Mark", Middle:"S", Last:"Pronto"}, Rank:1}

Executing Example_JSONSET for Redigo Client
Success: OK

`

I this is needs to be explicitly mentioned

I got the same problem today. The I solved it by updating the version de the lib /go-redis.
I use also go1.13, you can use the version v8.6.0 of this lib if you don't want to update to go1.14
And update your go.mod like github.com/go-redis/redis/v8 v8.6.0

Seems to be fixed - closing.
