How to fix “go get: warning: modules disabled by GO111MODULE=auto in GOPATH/src”

Question

I\'m trying to install golint with the command: go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint. And I think I got two problems:

go get: warning: 
    modules disabled by GO         


        

Answer 1

It looks like you have a go.mod file inside $GOPATH/ (under $GOPATH/go.mod). You should remove that. Also, since you are using Go 1.11 or newer, you can run the go get command from well outside of GOPATH/any directory containing a go.mod file either directly or in a parent directory, and then the command should work.
