Go 1.13 doesn't like this lib

[rayjlinden]

I'm using a library that uses "go4.org/syncutil"

The author also included this in the go.mod file:
replace go4.org v0.0.0-20190430205326-94abd6928b1d => go4.org v0.0.0-20190313082347-94abd6928b1d

I found I then also had to put the same line in my go.mod file for things to work.

So for some reason the pseudo versions generated by how you publish these modules is broken or something. Can you fix how you publish this code?

What is the library?

The issue is in the ofac library.

The canonical pseudo-version for commit 94abd69 of the go4.org module is v0.0.0-20190313082347-94abd6928b1d:

$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ GO111MODULE=on go list -m go4.org@94abd6928b1da39b1d757b60c93fb2419c409fa1
go: finding go4.org 94abd6928b1da39b1d757b60c93fb2419c409fa1
go4.org v0.0.0-20190313082347-94abd6928b1d

For some reason, that ofac library started requiring a bad pseudo-version of go4.org while also replacing the bad pseudo-version with the correct pseudo-version. Since the replace directive only works inside the main module, it has no effect when you're trying to use that library.

The right fix is in the ofac library, it should be updated to require a valid version of go4.org, such as v0.0.0-20190313082347-94abd6928b1d.

I've opened issue moov-io/watchman#167 in it.

Thanks, @dmitshur. Closing this issue then.

[dmitshur]

The upstream issue was fixed, see moov-io/watchman#167 (comment).

Closing this issue then.

That sounds like the right thing to do. (It hasn't been done yet.)
