Hi Folks, I just realized that with Go 1.16, you must create a module via go mod init, even if you are writing a simple hello world program.
The most surprising aspect to me was that I can only know that's the case if I don't have a go.mod file anywhere in the parent directory chain. It becomes quite a bit of a surprise element for folks writing materials for others to follow. Was this change documented in the release notes? We do have this: "Module-aware mode is enabled by default, regardless of whether a go.mod file is present in the current working directory or a parent directory. More precisely, the GO111MODULE environment variable now defaults to on. To switch to the previous behavior, set GO111MODULE to auto. " Is that implying the above behavior? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
