I created a new folder with main.go and with following code:

package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
    r := gin.Default()
    r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "message": "pong",
        })
    })
    r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}

I run go mod init gin and go mod tidy.

go.mod and go.sum are created and they are looking fine.

I run go run main.go and get this output

main.go:6:2: no required module provides package github.com/gin-gonic/gin; to add it:
        go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin

go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin doesn't solve the issue

It seems like main.go doesn't use go.mod from current directory. I tried setting GO111MODULE="auto" and GO111MODULE="on" without success.

SOLVED:

my code example was inside a go workspace and I forgot to add it to the workspace with go work use

I am able to start http service with following steps

Directory structure

./Playground/
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── main.go

Step.1 module init

go mod init gin 
go mod tidy

Step.2 Add gin dependency

go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Step.3 Create main.go, with code given in question

Step.4 Run

go run ./main.go
