go list -m -versions gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1 gives me the following version listing, that has 1.20.0 as the newest version:
gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1 v1.0.0 v1.1.0 v1.2.0 v1.3.0 v1.3.1 v1.4.0 v1.4.1 v1.5.0 v1.6.0 v1.7.0 v1.7.1 v1.8.0 v1.9.0 v1.10.0 v1.10.1 v1.10.2 v1.11.0 v1.11.1 v1.12.0 v1.13.0 v1.14.0 v1.15.0 v1.16.0 v1.16.1 v1.17.0 v1.17.1 v1.18.0 v1.18.1 v1.19.0 v1.19.1 v1.20.0
However, according gopkg.in, 1.22.4 should be the newest version. 1.22.4 is also the newest release on the package’s GitHub repo.
How should I go troubleshooting this problem? Seems like it could be a cache issue.
For background info: the repository originally had dep-based dependency listing (Gopkg.toml), that had version 1.20. I prefer modules, so I initialised go.mod by go mod init $REPO_URL. I later pulled the latest commits from the repo, which had the package version updated to 1.22. I tried re-creating go.mod; it first indicated a problem at that step:
go: converting Gopkg.lock: stat gopkg.in/urfave/[email protected]: gopkg.in/urfave/[email protected]: invalid version: go.mod has non-....v1 module path "github.com/urfave/cli" at revision v1.22.0
In the end, I ended up with code that expects version 1.22, but the tools fetch the version 1.20 which isn’t forwards compatible, so it doesn’t compile.
There is nothing you can do to fix it. The package is broken, so the package author/maintainer needs to fix it.
In short, the project has an invalid go.mod file, which was apparently added after v1.20.0 was released--which is why up to that version is available.
The go.mod file refers to "github.com/urfave/cli", but the package is imported as "gopkg.in/urfave/cli.v1". The go.mod file needs to be updated to reflect the proper import path.
As a work-around, it might work to import the package as "github.com/urfave/cli", but this will break many packages that have "sub" packages that refer to the alternate import path. I'd say it's worth a try in this case, though.
