kubernetes/test-infra dependency management

test-infra uses go modules for Go dependency management.

Usage

Run [make update-go-deps] whenever vendored dependencies change.

Updating dependencies

New dependencies causes golang to recompute the minor version used for each major version of each dependency. And golang automatically removes dependencies that nothing imports any more.

See golang's go.mod and dependency upgrade docs for more details.

No replace directives!

Please DO NOT add any "replace" directives to go.mod files in this repo. This is problematic for published packages, specifically preventing the use of go install or go get to use package fom this repo. See this comment for a complete explanation.

Tips

Use hack/make-rules/go-run/arbitrary.sh whatever rather than go whatever from your $PATH to ensure the correct version of golang is selected.

Note that using this path does not otherwise require golang to be installed on your workstation.
