why does 'cobra init' require --pkg-name when go.mod is present?

[josharian]

The first line of go.mod contains the fully qualified import path of the module. Could cobra init just use it?

[jharshman]

That assumes a go.mod file is present which is not required for init in a new directory.

[josharian]

Right. But when it is present (as it was in my case), cobra could use it.

[jharshman]

I don't see any immediate problem with that functionality. If you want to open up a PR with your suggested changes, tag me and I'll take a look.

[josharian]

Hmmm. Blocked on golang/go#31761, in particular, the addition of golang.org/x/mod/modfile.

[jharshman]

@josharian if this is blocked and has no immediate resolution I think it's appropriate to close this issue.

[josharian]

As you wish.
