What did you do?

1. Go to golang.org/dl and download the Go1.14beta1 for MacOS. Specifically go1.14beta1.darwin-amd64.pkg

2. git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go

3. cd go/src

4. ./make.bash

What did you expect to see?

Go successfully compiles

What did you see instead?

./make.bash

Building Go toolchain1 using /usr/local/go.

Do any of the parents of the directory in which you are doing the build contain a go.mod file that refers to github.com/DataDog?

@ianlancetaylor bingo! 😄 😓

I accidentally had a go.mod file a few parent directories up...I wonder if make.bash can catch that by any chance?

Running go list -m -json showed that to me as well

go list -m -json

	"Path": "one",
	"Main": true,
	"Dir": "/Users/marwansulaiman/marwan",
	"GoMod": "/Users/marwansulaiman/marwan/go.mod",
	"GoVersion": "1.13"
}
