I am surprised this did not come up in the thread. I'm not sure if I never knew this was possible or I have forgotten during my time using replace. Turns out, that you can import a folder within the same module folder as mod identifier/package and it is automatically imported by gopls when you reference that package, which never worked with replace.
This allows existing version control tools to be used across languages too. Just pull the folder into the root module and away you go. Being able to reference external folders such as with replace is nice but causes issues with gopls and mod updates and possibly erroneous build messages. I believe there are some documentation bugs. The following does not mention this or link to "how to write go code". https://golang.org/doc/tutorial/getting-started The following alludes to this functionality, but could make this possibility, a lot clearer. https://golang.org/doc/code.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
