What did you do?

in go.mod https://github.com/kubeagi/arcadia/blob/0705fb8214ffa5dbaa4200902728ed2d58947f5f/go.mod#L184

want change replace github.com/tmc/langchaingo => github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo v0.0.0-20240124015404-c7798664fdb1 to replace github.com/tmc/langchaingo => github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo patch, then exec go mod tidy,

but the go mod tidy say

go: errors parsing go.mod:
go.mod:184: can't query version "patch" of module github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo: no existing version is required

but if change to replace github.com/tmc/langchaingo => github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo abcd, then exec go mod tidy, it is ok.

So the point is that we can't use the patch keyword, even if there is a branch upstream named patch(https://github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo/tree/patch)

What did you see happen?

replace github.com/tmc/langchaingo => github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo patch then go mod tidy:

go: errors parsing go.mod:
go.mod:184: can't query version "patch" of module github.com/Abirdcfly/langchaingo: no existing version is required

What did you expect to see?

no error

maybe related to #49111 ?

See https://go.dev/ref/mod#version-queries

• A revision identifier for the underlying source repository, such as a commit hash prefix, revision tag, or branch name. If the revision is tagged with a semantic version, this query selects that version. Otherwise, this query selects a pseudo-version for the underlying commit. Note that branches and tags with names matched by other version queries cannot be selected this way.
• ...
• The string patch, which selects the latest available version with the same major and minor version numbers as the currently required version.

Closing as working as intended/documented.
