I'm going to answer my own question as I've managed to figure it out. Set the following environment variable: GO111MODULE=off
When I previously looked at the environment variables using go env the GO111MODULE="", which I thought was off. But if this environment variable is not set then it is assumed to be on. Also the naming of the environment variable should be changed, as it still has the version number of when Modules were first introduced, 1.11, this should be changed to GOMODULE.
