Hi folks. I was unable to find a good answer online already. The closest I found was https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14323872/using-forked-package-import-in-go which suggests using the replace directive in go.mod.
I am using Go 1.14, with all projects located outside of GOPATH. My exact situation: I've forked https://github.com/sclevine/agouti to https://github.com/Bradbev/agouti. Originally I renamed all instances of "sclevine" to "Bradbev" - this works, but doesn't feel right. Presumably future PR's will be a hassle due to the import changes. I'm trying to fix it locally before pushing up. So, what I have locally is 1) A new module agout_test, which contains "replace github.com/bradbev/agouti => ../agouti" in go.mod so that my test project references a local copy 2) A local copy of bradbev/agouti at ../agouti. Without changes (ie, import paths ARE rewritten), this works. When I change my local agouti imports back to "sclevine", and add "replace github.com/sclevine/agouti => github.com/bradbev/agouti" to ../agouti/go.mod, my test complains with: ✘-1 ~/development/gomod/agouti_test 22:51 $ go build main.go && ./main ../agouti/selectable.go:5:2: use of internal package github.com/sclevine/agouti/internal/element not allowed ../agouti/multiselection.go:3:8: use of internal package github.com/sclevine/agouti/internal/target not allowed This suggests to me that the replace directive is working, but is being disallowed for "/internal" packages. What is the correct way to fork this module please? Thanks, Brad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
