Building Custom OpenTelemetry Collector fails

[schultyy]

What happened:

I'm trying to build a custom OpenTelemetry exporter to use the Trace Analyzer feature.

I installed the latest collector builder:

GO111MODULE=on go install go.opentelemetry.io/collector/cmd/builder@latest

and once trying to run it, it fails with the following error:

builder --config=builder-config.yaml
2023-08-18T13:24:57.204-0400    INFO    internal/command.go:117 OpenTelemetry Collector Builder {"version": "dev", "date": "unknown"}

What you expected to happen:

A successful build of a custom OTEL Collector.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

GO111MODULE=on go install go.opentelemetry.io/collector/cmd/builder@latest
cat > otelcol-builder.yaml <<EOF
dist:
  name: otelcol-api
  description: "OTel Collector distribution with APIClarity support"
  output_path: ./otelcol-api

exporters:
  - gomod: "github.com/openclarity/apiclarity/plugins/otel-collector/apiclarityexporter v0.0.0"
  - gomod:
      "github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/exporter/jaegerexporter
      v0.53.0"
  - import: go.opentelemetry.io/collector/exporter/loggingexporter
    gomod: go.opentelemetry.io/collector v0.53.0

Are there any error messages in API Clarity logs?

(e.g. kubectl logs -n apiclarity --selector=app=apiclarity)

Anything else we need to know?:

• macOS 13.5 Ventura
• go version go1.21.0 darwin/amd64

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (use kubectl version --short):
• Istio version (use istioctl version):
• APIClarity version (use kubectl -n apiclarity exec deploy/apiclarity -- ./backend version)
• Cloud provider or hardware configuration:
• Others:
