Thanks for the message! Unfortunately, GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin go install ./cmd/app/main.go
Doesn't change anything. Actually I'm realizing that even without go modules but with $GOPATH this never installed anywhere: GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin GO111MODULE=off go install ./cmd/testinstall/main.go You have to do: cd ./cmd/app && go install Then it appears to work in all cases. I'm assuming this is by design, but it feels to me like go install ./cmd/app/main.go silently failing is a bug. Is this worth opening an issue for?
