如何使用模块替换云函数中的功能

Question

I have a google cloud function that is a subdirectory in a repository. It uses the "Directory with source code" option in the settings menu. I keep getting this error on deploy:

Deployment failure:
Build failed: go: parsing /utils/pubsub/go.mod: open /utils/pubsub/go.mod: no such file or directory
go: error loading module requirements

I'm assuming that GCF does not upload the entire directory to the instance, but instead only the folder? This breaks the replace functionality of Go modules. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I work at Google and on this product.

Only the directory where you run gcloud is uploaded. There is no staging step beyond zipping the current directory and uploading it.

Notably, modules are preferred by the builder over vendor. If there is a go.mod , modules will be used. When you upload your function, it only includes the directory with your function at the root, not any directories one level up. So, when there is a go.mod and you have a replace directive pointing one level up, it will not work.

The solution for now with this layout is to vendor and not upload the go.mod / go.sum files. When using gcloud , you can create a .gcloudignore file to do this for you. See https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/concepts/go-runtime#specifying_dependencies for more detail. Alternatively, modify your project to include any necessary helper packages in subdirectories.

I had the same issue today.

When reading thru the documentation for the 8th time i came across a warning box bellow the "Vendor directory" headline.

Warning: If your project has both a go.mod file and a vendor directory at the root of your project, the vendor directory will be ignored during deployment. You must use a .gcloudignore file to ignore the go.mod file in order to ensure that your vendor directory is used during deployment.

So basically once i added a .gcloudignore file with go.mod (will add go.sum as well) everything worked. So i guess if you have a go.mod file the cloud function will try to fetch dependencies instead of using the ones uploaded in the vendor folder. I'm just guessing here tough.
