If the -m flag is given, why treats the arguments as a list of modules and finds a path to any package in each of the modules. By default, why queries the graph of packages matched by "go list all", which includes tests for reachable packages. The -vendor flag causes why to exclude tests of dependencies. The output is a sequence of stanzas, one for each package or module name on the command line, separated by blank lines. Each stanza begins with a comment line "# package" or "# module" giving the target package or module. Subsequent lines give a path through the import graph, one package per line. If the package or module is not referenced from the main module, the stanza will display a single parenthesized note indicating that fact. For example: $ go mod why golang.org/x/text/language golang.org/x/text/encoding # golang.org/x/text/language rsc.io/quote rsc.io/sampler golang.org/x/text/language # golang.org/x/text/encoding (main module does not need package golang.org/x/text/encoding) $ See https://golang.org/ref/mod#go-mod-why for more about 'go mod why'. `, } var ( whyM = cmdWhy.Flag.Bool("m", false, "") whyVendor = cmdWhy.Flag.Bool("vendor", false, "") ) func init() { cmdWhy.Run = runWhy // break init cycle base.AddChdirFlag(&cmdWhy.Flag) base.AddModCommonFlags(&cmdWhy.Flag) } func runWhy(ctx context.Context, cmd *base.Command, args []string) { modload.InitWorkfile() modload.ForceUseModules = true modload.RootMode = modload.NeedRoot modload.ExplicitWriteGoMod = true // don't write go.mod in ListModules loadOpts := modload.PackageOpts{ Tags: imports.AnyTags(), VendorModulesInGOROOTSrc: true, LoadTests: !*whyVendor, SilencePackageErrors: true, UseVendorAll: *whyVendor, } if *whyM { for _, arg := range args { if strings.Contains(arg, "@") { base.Fatalf("go: %s: 'go mod why' requires a module path, not a version query", arg) } } mods, err := modload.ListModules(ctx, args, 0, "") if err != nil { base.Fatalf("go: %v", err) } byModule := make(map[string][]string) _, pkgs := modload.LoadPackages(ctx, loadOpts, "all") for _, path := range pkgs { m := modload.PackageModule(path) if m.Path != "" { byModule[m.Path] = append(byModule[m.Path], path) } } sep := "" for _, m := range mods { best := "" bestDepth := 1000000000 for _, path := range byModule[m.Path] { d := modload.WhyDepth(path) if d > 0 && d < bestDepth { best = path bestDepth = d } } why := modload.Why(best) if why == "" { vendoring := "" if *whyVendor { vendoring = " to vendor" } why = "(main module does not need" + vendoring + " module " + m.Path + ")\n" } fmt.Printf("%s# %s\n%s", sep, m.Path, why) sep = "\n" } } else { // Resolve to packages. matches, _ := modload.LoadPackages(ctx, loadOpts, args...) modload.LoadPackages(ctx, loadOpts, "all") // rebuild graph, from main module (not from named packages) sep := "" for _, m := range matches { for _, path := range m.Pkgs { why := modload.Why(path) if why == "" { vendoring := "" if *whyVendor { vendoring = " to vendor" } why = "(main module does not need" + vendoring + " package " + path + ")\n" } fmt.Printf("%s# %s\n%s", sep, path, why) sep = "\n" } } } }
