OpenTelemetry missing packages

Question

I am getting following error in my Go project. I am using go mod to manage dependencies. It looks like the latest version of opentelemetry doesn't specific packages. But how should I fix them

go get ./...

Answer 1

I was running into a similar issue and thoroughly cleaning the cache did the trick. Again, I believe this removes all the packages from your system so use with caution:

go clean -cache -modcache -i -r

Answer 2

I also have similar error.

go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp imports
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/global: module go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric@latest found (v1.16.0), but does not contain package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/global

go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp imports
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/instrument: module go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric@latest found (v1.16.0), but does not contain package go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric/instrument

go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp v0.40.0 in go.mod

my solution

upgrade go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp

go get go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp@latest

problem solved.

The reason is that the child dependency version upgrade needs to upgrade the parent dependency.
