x/tools/cmd/gorename: creates a `pkg/mod` inside `$GOPATH`

[joeblubaugh]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.13 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

From inside the $GOPATH run `$ gorename -from "github.com/lighstep.$PACAKGE"::symbol --to symbol2

What did you expect to see?

The symbol to be renamed without error.

What did you see instead?

A very long list of errors involving searching for modules that are already in vendor/ as well as a large number of packages installed to $GOPATH/pkg/mod even though there is no go.mod in this codebase.

Before running gorename, there was no pkg/mod directory.

same story

I believe that gorename might have some issues in module mode: #27571, #24661. You may have better luck by setting GO111MODULE=off for gorename, or if possible, using gopls in your editor.

/cc @stamblerre @ianthehat who may have more context

[scottjbarr]

@toothrot Good tip. Setting GO111MODULE=off in the environment variables stops this issue for me with gorename.

[stamblerre]

gorename is not supported for use with modules, and I don't believe it's being actively maintained, so it's possible that it has had some regressions in GOPATH mode with the latest versions of Go. We would certainly accept any contributions to improve support for gorename in GOPATH mode. For modules, gopls does package-local renames (with module-local renames coming soon), and the gopls rename command is available on the command line.

[scottjbarr]

Thanks for the tip @stamblerre

[hyangah]

As discussed in the vscode-go issue linked above, it seems like gorename is broken with newer versions of go. If my GOPATH has packages with go.mod and attempt to rename exported names, I encounter the same issue. Maybe we need to suggest gopls rename as an offical alternative even for GOPATH mode or GO111MODULE=auto.

[nabice]

Please add support for use with modules.
