go-plugin-test

Testing golang native plugins with a shared package on different enviornments/GOPATHS.

Experiment

The experiment is pretty straight forward. The binary of plugin-test was built using go1.13.3 linux/amd64. One was built and committed just in the chance another environment is not available, requiring only the plugin to be built in another environment.

Results

There are a few things required in order to get native plugins to function properly.

  • Only available on linux/macOS
  • Must be using the same version of golang
  • Seems you need to use -trimpath to help with standardizing GOPATH/modules.
  • Shared libraries have the following restrictions
    • You must use the same module version.
    • Use replace to reference the module location if module's are not available.
    • Shared libraries should be placed in their own module / repo to reduce incompatibilities
