"go: go.mod file not found in current directory" but it already exist in the directory-CodePudding

I'm trying to build a DockerFile for a project around GCP. I'm using go version 1.17 and it fails at the get command saying that go.mod isn't found but it exist in the same directory as the Dockerfile. I already tried go mod init and go mod tidy but I still got the same error. Here are my env variables and my files :

list of the files in my working directory :

name@vm-gcs2bq:~/workspace/professional-services/tools/gcs2bq$ ls
Dockerfile  bigquery.schema   datastudio.png           gcs2bq.avsc  go.mod  main.go
README.md   credentials.json  gcs2bq-custom-role.yaml  gcs2bq.yaml  go.sum  run.sh

My working directory in the Dockerfile is correctly set (the gcs2bq one) and when trying to build it I got :

Step 6/16 : RUN go get -v ./...
 ---> Running in ebaa284887cf
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

I'm still kinda new to go, mostly did c and python and I read that packages are managed in a different way in this language but I think I set my paths correctly too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Any help is appreciated, ask for more details if you need to.

Thanks in advance !

CodePudding user response：

Okay I solved my problem.

First, my WORKDIR wasn't pointing at the right directory : WORKDIR /go/src/github.com/rosmo/gcs2bq instead of WORKDIR /work/src/github.com/rosmo/gcs2bq but it's only because of me using /work instead of /go for the installed packages.

Then I added the follwing after the COPY main.go . command :

RUN  go mod init v1
RUN go mod tidy

Which created the "missing" go.mod file and properly installed the dependencies/packages needed.

The rest of the build went perfectly normal.

Thanks for your help.
