中文步骤

  1. Verify the module path and version: run 'go list -m github.com/foo/bar@latest' to check if the module exists.
  2. Use a specific version instead of @latest: 'go get github.com/foo/[email protected]' after confirming the version exists.
  3. Clear module cache and retry: 'go clean -modcache' then 'go mod tidy'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    The -e flag only continues despite errors, but the module still won't be found, leaving the build broken.

  2. 60% fail

    Does not resolve the missing module; go mod tidy will still fail.

  3. 70% fail

    If the module is not found locally or on the proxy, this will not help; it may even worsen the situation by disabling proxy entirely.
