Dependency checksum not recorded in go.sum file.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 97% success Run go mod tidy to update go.sum with correct entries 
    Adds missing entries and removes unused ones

    Sources: https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-mod-tidy

  2. 92% success Run go mod download to download and verify all dependencies 
    Downloads all modules and updates go.sum

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Deleting go.sum and recreating 60% fail

    Removes all verified checksums; next build verifies from scratch against a potentially compromised source

  2. Setting GONOSUMCHECK to skip verification 85% fail

    Disables tamper detection for dependencies
