Hey, sorry for hijacking a closed PR, but I cannot any other guide as to why a local project which was building lately is now broken because of this v6 change...is it intended to be a breaking change? I get lots of
package github.com/minio/minio-go/v6/pkg/credentials: cannot find package "github.com/minio/minio-go/v6/pkg/credentials" in any of: /usr/local/go/src/github.com/minio/minio-go/v6/pkg/credentials (from $GOROOT) /home/jenkins/go/src/github.com/minio/minio-go/v6/pkg/credentials (from $GOPATH)
I tried updating all my imports of this package to be /v6 but I still get a resolution issue....is it my version of Go thats at fault. Are there some notes about how to soak up such a change, or fix back to a version previous to this PR? Any tips appreciated!

@admoriarty I also ran into this and need a fix. (Is there any way to get go get to use a specific repository commit?)

You need to use go mod @admoriarty @deliciouslytyped

I've tried...

• updating from 1.10 to 1.12 of the golang image we build the app on
• updating all our minio imports to mention /v6 at the end (but also running builds not updated)
• calling go mod and/or go mod github.com/minio/minio-go
  Despite all of this I'm still getting complaints along the lines of cannot find ... /v6 ... paths

Actually, to be accurate, I may be able to get beyond it in one case and then failing with a "gcc cannot be found" error which seems very commonplace but the common fixes of setting env vars doesn't help :D

You are not doing it correctly @admoriarty first your code should depend on minio-go and then you have to go mod tidy to get the latest released version of minio-go

You have to follow the go mod instructions and it will work fine.

Take a look at how to use it https://github.com/minio/mc/pull/2782/files
