What did you do?

Using the following as an example: https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules

But used my Github URL instead of example.com:
go mod init github.com/jbramden/hello
Created a sub directory for world

 mkdir world
 cd world

added world.go with the following

package world

func World() string {
	return "world."
}

changed hello.go to call world using the import path as stated in the go mod init and called World().

package hello

import (
	"github.com/jbramsden/hello/world"
	"fmt"
)

func Hello() string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s", world.World())
}

then I run go test and I should see the test results.

What did you expect to see?

PASS
github.com/jbramsden/hello 0.007s

What did you see instead?

bash-3.2$ go test
hello.go:4:2: git ls-remote -q https://github.com/jbramsden/hello in /Users/jbramsden/go/pkg/mod/cache/vcs/c2625a56b67add752fe30dd618aa886e71e6f3a95817f75a91890900f68dacfc: exit status 128:
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled
Confirm the import path was entered correctly.
If this is a private repository, see https://golang.org/doc/faq#git_https for additional information.

What else did you try?

If I remove go.mod file and run

 rm go.mod
 go mod init example.com/hello

Then I change hello.go to have the correct path for import
"example.com/hello/world

And I rerun
go test

I get the expect results

PASS
example.com/hello 0.007s

I also tested this with other URLs other then github.com and it works correctly. E.G bitbucket.com

What do you think is happening?

For Github it is expecting the code to be checked in and trying to download it. However this is working differently from any other URL.

So, is the jbramsden/hello a private repo? If so, then see golang.org/doc/faq#git_https as go said.

[jbramsden]

Hi aofei,

No jbramsden/hello is not a private repo, it does not exist in github.

[bcmills]

This appears to be due to a typo in your go mod init command:

go mod init github.com/jbramden/hello

s/jbramden/jbramsden/ and you should be set, but please let us know if that doesn't work.
