Building binary fails in v0.11

[FraPazGal]

Hello all,

As the title says, I'm having trouble compiling the go binary by running:

$ CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GO11MODULE=on go build -mod=vendor -a .

vendor/k8s.io/client-go/discovery/discovery_client.go:31:2: cannot find package "."

I'm using Golang 1.17 and building the latest 0.11 version. I have seen the same error in the GitHub CI, so I'm inclined to believe there is an issue in the released files.

Thanks in advance, Francisco de Paz

@FraPazGal I got similar issues with errors in the GitHub CI. The reason is caused by git doesn't detect folder name change. you can fix this by follow this or if you just clone the repo, just remove vendor folder and run go mod vendor

[FraPazGal]

That was a nice solution @petchumpriwan, thanks for the help! I suppose the vendor folder was not updated before the release and that is the cause of the issue.

When I read my reply again, I think I type something that quite not clear and mislead the cause. Let's me give more information on that

• vendor folder was updated in b3e76c6 before v0.11 release

• For my case, I got an error similar to this

  Error: vendor/k8s.io/client-go/discovery/discovery_client.go:31:2: cannot find package "." in:
  /home/runner/work/kubernetes-event-exporter/kubernetes-event-exporter/vendor/github.com/googleapis/gnostic/openapiv2

• I think it was caused by owner git setting being somehow has been set to case-insensitive, so it did not see that OpenAPIv2 folder is changed to all lowercase in the newer version, then it's break the building process

  vendor/github.com/googleapis/gnostic/OpenAPIv2 → vendor/github.com/googleapis/gnostic/openapiv2

• The folder name is still OpenAPIv2 in current commit
