Bug Fixes

• e3ecfa9 detect go workspace manifest drift from submodule paths (#156) (@purpleclay)

  Add --workspace flag to govendor --check for detecting drift when running from a submodule path in a Go workspace project. This is useful for git hooks where go.work is gitignored.

New Features

• bac3522 reconstruct workspace from manifest when go.work is absent (#147) (@purpleclay)

  As go.work files are typically gitignored, govendor now reconstructs the workspace in-memory from the govendor.toml manifest when go.work is not present. This enables govendor to work on freshly cloned repositories without requiring a go.work file on disk.

Breaking Changes

• 82658a8 generate go.work file from govendor.toml when not present (#142) (@purpleclay)

  When building a go workspace with buildGoWorkspace, if no go.work file exists in the source tree, one should be generated from the [workspace] section of the govendor.toml file.

  A go.work file is typically ignored and not committed within a project, but Go requires the presence of a go.work file to understand how to build a workspace correctly.

  The workspace section of the schema has now been simplified to accomodate this:

  [workspace]
    go = "1.22"
    modules = ["./api", "./shared"]

Important

the schema version has now been bumped to "2". All existing govendor.toml files should be regenerated.
