I’ll introduce how to resolve the error go: modules disabled inside GOPATH/src by GO111MODULE=auto; see ‘go help modules’ that occurs with go mod init.

Case Where go mod init Fails

$ go mod init
go: modules disabled inside GOPATH/src by GO111MODULE=auto; see 'go help modules'

Solution for go mod init

export GO111MODULE=on
go mod init

Successful go mod init Case

$ go mod init
go: creating new go.mod: module github.com/your-orgs/your-app

That’s all from the Gemba, where we want to get go mod init working.
