go get mongo-go-driver crashes in Dockerfile

Question

I have a little problem with my Go service. I'm new to Go and I just want to dockerize a little service that just connect to a mongodb instance.

My code works fine locally. So here is my Dockerfile:

# build stage
FROM golang:alpine AS build-env
RUN apk add --no-cache git
ADD . .

RUN go get -v -u go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver    
RUN go build -o mongotest

# final stage
FROM alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build-env ./go/mongotest .

RUN apk update && apk add ca-certificates && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["./mongotest"]

When I build it, I have this error message :

Step 6/18 : RUN go get -v -u go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver
 ---> Running in 4c45c601800d

The command '/bin/sh -c go get -v -u go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver' returned a non-zero code: 1

no Go files in /go/src ... ok, what can I do with that?

The strange thing is that if I replace

RUN go get -d -u go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver

by

RUN go get -d -u github.com/gorilla/mux

it works!

Is there a problem with mongo driver repo?

MongoDB GitHub repository recommend to use this command :

dep ensure -add "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo@~1.0.0"

and you can see golang package url: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo

Try:

RUN go get -v -u go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo
