Build Fails Due to Dependency Version Mismatch

[deer8888]

Description

While rebuilding the project using the latest version of Go, with Go's official recommendation to use gomodule for initialization and building, we found that the build process fails due to mismatched module path.

The following error log was produced during the build process:

......
go: found k8s.io/api/batch/v1beta1 in k8s.io/api v0.31.0
go: github.com/upmc-enterprises/elasticsearch-operator/cmd/operator imports
        github.com/Sirupsen/logrus: github.com/Sirupsen/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: github.com/sirupsen/logrus
                but was required as: github.com/Sirupsen/logrus

Result

The build fails with errors related to mismatched module path.

The error dependency is github.com/Sirupsen/logrus.

Reason

The error log suggests module path declaration github.com/sirupsen/logrus in go.mod, which is inconsistent with import path github.com/Sirupsen/logrus .

Proposed Solution

To resolve this issue, we analyzed the project and identified the correct versions of the required dependencies.

The analysis shows that the correct declaration for the dependency is replace github.com/Sirupsen/logrus => github.com/sirupsen/logrus v1.0.2-0.20170713114250-a3f95b5c4235.

Consider adopting this suggested version to prevent other developers from encountering build failures when constructing the project.

This information can be documented in the README.md file or another relevant location.

Additional Suggestions

To ensure reproducible builds and align with the evolving trends of the Go programming language, it is recommended that the current project be migrated to the Go module mechanism.

Updating to the go module mechanism allows for managing third-party dependency versions through the go.mod file, which provides a centralized and consistent way to specify dependency constraints.

We have generated a go.mod file with the correct versions of the third-party dependencies needed for this project.

The suggested go.mod file is as follows:

replace github.com/Sirupsen/logrus => github.com/sirupsen/logrus v1.0.2-0.20170713114250-a3f95b5c4235

Additional Information:

This issue was identified as part of our research project focused on automating the analysis of GOPATH projects to provide accurate dependency versions for seamless migration to Go Modules. We value your feedback and would appreciate any comments or suggestions regarding this approach.

Looking forward to your response!

Could we update README.md to help other developers use the Go module to build the projects or submit pull requests with go.mod to apply our suggestions?
