glide install fails with alias: "The Remote does not match the VCS endpoint"

[colemickens]

My glide.yaml:

package: azkube
import:
- package: github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go
  subpackages:
  - /arm/resources
- package: github.com/spf13/cobra
- package: code.google.com/p/go-uuid
  subpackages:
  - /uuid
- package: golang.org/x/crypto
  vcs: git
  repo: https://github.com/colemickens/crypto
  version: 147b0a0d44eaebb0e4b9c780d01b9af728575d49
  subpackages:
  - /pkcs12

Snippet of log from glide install:

[INFO] Fetching updates for golang.org/x/crypto.
[WARN] Update failed for golang.org/x/crypto: The Remote does not match the VCS endpoint

Apologies, it looks like this is due to me not clearing out the relevant repo under vendor/ before "switching" via the alias. I executed rm -rf vendor/ and then glide was able to install normally.

I still get this even while removing vendor directory.

Yes, I still see this error even after rm -rf vendor

Getting the same error, even after rm:

[ERROR]	Failed to set version on github.com/sirupsen/logrus to : The Remote does not match the VCS endpoint
[ERROR]	Failed to set references: The Remote does not match the VCS endpoint (Skip to cleanup)

update rm -r ~/.glide did the trick 👍

[Connor-McGuinness]

We had the same problem and solved it by modifying the glide.yaml to case-strict match the VCS endpoint (github.com/Sirupsen/logrus became github.com/sirupsen/logrus) then clearing the glide cache (glide cc).

[bkleef]

Or try something like this:

glide cc; rm -rf ~/.glide; rm -rf vendor; rm glide.lock; glide install --force --strip-vendor

For the benefit of anyone brought here by Google...

glide cc only 👍
