Why go build/install updates required packages automatically?

Question

I have an issue with the current version of the grpc-go package. So I want to use the previous version of the package. I used the following command to change the required version:

go get google.golang.org/grpc@v1.26.0

But now when I want to use go build or go install , go always updates the required version to the current v1.27.0 so I am running always to the issue.

How can I prevent that go is not updating the required packages to the latest version?

Answer 1

I found the issue. I used an other module what required the version v1.27.0 . This was one of my own modules so I just changed the requirement in this module to a lower version of grpc-go .
