ambiguous import when installing sentry-go for gin

[dvigueras]

When running the following command:

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin

I get:

go: github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin: ambiguous import: found package github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin in multiple modules:
	github.com/getsentry/sentry-go v0.30.0 (/Users/daniel/.go/pkg/mod/github.com/getsentry/[email protected]/gin)
	github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin v0.0.0-20241220173835-ade504db7b4e (/Users/daniel/.go/pkg/mod/github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/[email protected])

$ go version
go version go1.23.3 darwin/arm64

How can I solve it?

If I put the sample code in my project and then run go mod tidy it also happens. Thanks

Thanks for letting us know about this. Our usage of replace github.com/getsentry/sentry-go => ../ causes this problem, even without tagging a new version. https://stackoverflow.com/a/71984158/18924316 describes the issue in great detail.

Sorry for that, I wasn't really aware of this until today. For our Otel integration, which was our first test bed for splitting the repo into multiple sub-modules, we didn't run into this as we tell people to install both the base SDK and the Otel module at the same time.

While we reverted the commit that introduced the new modules for now, the issue seems to persist, and I'm currently not entirely sure why.

The best workaround for now is to install the gin integration alongside the base SDK.

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go \
       github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin

Thanks @cleptric

Doing:

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go \
       github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin

solved the problem.

go: downloading github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/gin v0.0.0-20241230225403-109fca191e09
go: added github.com/getsentry/sentry-go v0.30.0

This was fixed in v.0.31.0.
