Purpose
Since Go 1.16, modules are enabled by default and the loose
getcreds.go
script doesn't work. (There's a workaround involving disabling modules, but that's not good long term.)Approach
This change adds a
go.mod
andgo.sum
file to initialise the module. As Go cannot run scripts form outside the module's root directory, the PR also changes the documentation and automation scripts tocd
properly.Learning
Took a bit of digging to initially identify why the script wasn't working any more. To disable the must-be-a-module rule, you can use
go env -w GO111MODULE=on
. But note that this is a permanent non-scoped change, so make sure to switch it back to avoid problems in other Go code.Checklist
