Describe the bug

Hi, I am trying to import types.go to unmarshall the API response. However, since k8s.io/kubernetes v1.23.1 is required in the go.mod, it will caused an error when import go: k8s.io/kubernetes@v1.23.1 requires k8s.io/api@v0.0.0: reading k8s.io/api/go.mod at revision v0.0.0: unknown revision v0.0.0. As it mentioned, it should not depend directly on k8s/kubernetes. Argo Rollouts had similar issue.

To Reproduce

Expected behavior

k8s.io/kubernetes v1.23.1 should be safely removed from go.mod.

Screenshots

Version

argocd-server: v2.2.5+8f981cc

Logs

go: k8s.io/kubernetes@v1.23.1 requires k8s.io/api@v0.0.0: reading k8s.io/api/go.mod at revision v0.0.0: unknown revision v0.0.0

Any chance someone from ArgoCD team could look at it?

Edit:

• This is possibly a duplicate of go.mod issues while importing argocd package (v0.0.0 not found) #11041
• Solution should be documented here

I will try it and edit my comment.

Yep, to reiterate @Lirt's comment, the solution is documented here: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/import/
