Root Cause

The module's go.mod declares a different module path than the import path used. Common after a repo rename/fork without updating go.mod.

generic

中文

模块的 go.mod 声明的模块路径与使用的导入路径不同。常见于仓库重命名/派生后未更新 go.mod。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    go mod edit -replace=github.com/foo/bar=github.com/foo/[email protected]
go mod tidy
  2. 85% success 
    // in your fork's go.mod
module github.com/you/bar
// then: go mod edit -replace=github.com/foo/bar=github.com/you/[email protected]<pseudo>

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    go.sum does not encode module path mapping; the error persists

  2. 85% fail

    GOPRIVATE only affects proxy/checksum behavior, not path validation

  3. 60% fail

    the source at that path may not exist or may be a different module
