Thanks for the pointer. I think that behavior is not a good idea. Yes, it's convenient that when working on a module and realizing some dependency is missing, `go get` handles updating `go.mod`. However at the same time this breaks the workflow of possibly a big number of people. The OP's :GoUpdateBinaries in vim-go is just one example. I don't know how many people use `vim_go`, but the project has 10k+ stars. Developer's scripts/make files/go generate "scripts" etc, all of that may legitimately invoke `go get` for things the module _is not_ actually dependent on. `go get` should do just one thing and do it well. Automagically adjusting `go.mod` if one is found in the current directory (or in any of its parents) when outside $GOPATH is IMO neither of that. Or it should be enabled by a flag, like -um (update go.mod) or this is maybe a job for some `go mod foo` command, not `go get`. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
