Building Go v1 apps with dependences

[suntong]

Following up on #2149,

For projects without go mod, goreleaser is working.

However, when I try on projects without go mod but with dependences, it is failing --

Is it true that dependences is the problem, or something else (e.g., problem only relates to _darwin_amd64, but not others like _linux_amd64 etc)?

Would it be possible that I set my own GOPATH and do go get myself?

Thx

This issue has nothing to do with goreleaser itself, but with the fact you're not running go get ./... anywhere in the pipeline.

if you just git clone and go build your project in a fresh machine it'll fail as well.

[suntong]

where is the best place to put the go get ./... in the pipeline please?

[caarlos0]

Read your output log.

GoReleaser is not even being called.

The problem is somewhere else in your pipeline.

I wanted to do go get myself, but I don't know where should I put that go get ./... in the pipeline.

I've consulted the doc, and put a Global Hooks in .goreleaser.yml, where go generate ./... normally goes. But it is not working as I expected --

I tried to go through the doc again @caarlos0, but am still not be able to find a more proper place than the Global Hooks, which is not working as I expected.

Its not even failing on the the goreleaser step...

and, please, reply in the threads so the discussion make sense for future readers.
