What did you do?

In an empty folder:

go1.13beta1 mod init bla
go1.13beta1 get github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]

What did you expect to see?

the module been added to go.mod:

go get github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]

Using go version go1.12.6 darwin/amd64 it just works. I know it's odd to a repo to have both tags 1.1.0 and v1.1.0. But for no good reason we have in my company and as I was trying go 1.13 beta1 I run into this problem

I created the repo AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test to be able to reproduce it with a public repo.

What did you see instead?

$ go1.13beta1 get github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]                                                                                                                                                                    ‹ruby-2.4.1›
verifying github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]/go.mod: github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]/go.mod: reading https://sum.golang.org/lookup/github.com/!anderson!q/[email protected]: 410 Gone

However if I use 1.1.0 (go1.13beta1 get github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]), it works adding the dependency with pseudo-version

cat go.mod Output

module bla
go 1.13
require github.com/AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test v0.0.0-20190701100952-ced54b8ce3d7 // indirect

I am unable to reproduce this.

$cd `mktemp -d`
$go1.13beta1 mod init bla
$go1.13beta1 get github.com/AndersonQ/[email protected]
go: finding github.com/AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test v1.1.0
go: downloading github.com/AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test v1.1.0
go: extracting github.com/AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test v1.1.0
$cat go.mod 
module bla

go 1.13

require github.com/AndersonQ/go1_13_mod_test v1.1.0 // indirect

@agnivade indeed, even I cannot reproduce it now. However it still happening on my private repo. I'll investigate more.

You mentioned this was a private repo, but the error message is from sumdb.golang.org. The Go module mirror and sum database won't be able to access this repo if it's not publicly visible. Could you try setting GOPRIVATE to exclude this repo? For example, export GOPRIVATE=github.com/AndersonQ/*.

In general, sumdb.golang.org may serve a 410 if it can't load the module at that version. There are many reasons that could happen (unfortunately, we don't have very descriptive error messages yet). You might also try temporarily setting GOPROXY=direct and GOSUMDB=off if that gives a clearer message.

[AndersonQ]

@jayconrod GOPRIVATE=github.com/My_ORG/* did the trick!

So I believe my problem was reproducible earlier today because Go module mirror and Go checksum database had not indexed my example repo yet. Therefore go get behaved the same way it behaves with my private one.

Thanks guys!
