Go modules: checksum mismatch

Question

You need to delete your package from the go.sum file. If you run from terminal mode, using CI/CD or Dockerfile you can use that sh command:

sed '/^github.com\/ericlagergren\/decimal@/d' ./go.sum > temp.txt && mv temp.txt go.sum

Which does:

• sed - unix application
• '/^ - starts line from
• github.com\/hyperledger\/fabric v1.4.4 - your package name (actually RegEX line, shield / with \)
• /d' - means delete line
• go.sum - our golang sum file
• > temp.txt - save output to temporary file
• mv temp.txt go.sum - rewrite our go.sum with temporary file

P.S.: go mod tidy - only removes unused packages and add new versions. But it doesn`t delete olders.
