Was this something which used to work for you, and then stopped?

I never saw this working

Wanted end result.

Hello, I would like to seek some help from the community with respect to Renovate configurations for a Go repository.

In the current go.mod file, we have a dependency that comes from a private repo in a nested subgroup within Gitlab but currently Gitlab’s subgroup feature breaks the functionality of being able to run go get <private repo>. This is an issue that GitLab is aware of.

As such, in our CI pipelines, we have a script to first git clone this private repo, and then a replace command in the go.mod redirects the dependency path to a local path. Because of this private repo dependency and its corresponding replace statement, Renovate is showing an "update artifact problem" and as such is unable to update and commit the go.sum file to the update MRs, which causes the lint/unit test jobs to fail in our CI pipelines.

Error:

Command failed: go get -d -t <private repo>
go: <private repo path> (replaced by ./<local path>): reading <private repo path>/go.mod: open /go.mod: no such file or directory

The desired end result is for the go get command to skip over the replaced repo, update artifacts + go.sum file and commit the go.sum along with the go.mod changes in the Renovate MR.

What you tried so far.

Some of the changes we have attempted to resolve this issue include:

• Added gomodTidyE to postUpdateOptions
• Added gomodMassage to postUpdateOptions
• Added dependency to ignoreDeps in renovate.json
• Tried git clone <private repo> prior to running renovate job in our forked version of the Renovate Runner
• Updated goGetDirs in renovate.json to point to all other dependencies (skipping over the )

but none of these changes seemed to fix the problem.

If anyone has any advice or insight into how to fix this, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated! Happy to provide further details as required.
