Ask HN: Bulk updating of GO module dependencies?
2 by scrubs | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Consider: A CD/CI system knows the URLs of N GO repos, because programmers have enrolled them. One of the repos, n, just got a PR submitted. So now it's time for the CD/CI to build and run tests etc.. If all that is successful, we'd like to effect the following: For every library or program which depends on repo `n` either directly or indirectly run "go mod update" until done. The hard part is doing so until "done" because updating mod files will often lead to a cascade of such updates which are order dependent. Ex: we know repo n changed by assumption: a PR was approved. Now further suppose we have this dependency chain: * Repo o depends on n * Repo p depends on o * Repo q depends on n Clearly we want to update o, p, q. However, for the case of p we want to update it only after we update o. Now don't get me wrong ... one can do `go mod graph` and go for it ... my question: is this a solved problem with a best practice?
