I wasn't able to reproduce this from the current repo. I'm not quite sure what github/gnmi/cli in your path refers to. But to verify:

Could you check how you cloned the repo?

Thanks, r.

@sfuhrm since you seem to be interested in the gNMI CLI, I can suggest having a look at https://gnmic.openconfig.net

My build steps are summarized here explicitly:

The error is in an external repo afaik? I'm not so deep in Go to understand the source of the problem.

@sfuhrm just for the sake of completeness, your error is likely caused by Go version incompatibility. Looks like you have a Go version <= 1.16

[sfuhrm]

@hellt good insight, well-settled Debian 11 go version:

$ go version
go version go1.15.15 linux/amd64

With go 1.19 the build works.

Yes, the link you provided is more what I was searching, thanks! Looks like the problem is not on the side of your repo :-). Thanks for quick help!
