Generation fails when referencing module that uses the replace directive

[jmgilman]

Description

When referencing a Go module that is being replaced using the replace directive in the go.mod file, mockery fails to load the package.

Mockery Version

v2.45.0

Go Version

v1.23.0

Installation Method

• Binary Distribution
• Docker
• brew
• go install
• Other: [specify]

Steps to Reproduce

Start with a go.mod that uses replace:

module github.com/my/pkg/otherpkg

require (
	github.com/my/pkg/tools v0.0.0
)

replace github.com/my/pkg/tools => ../tools

go 1.23.0

And then attempt to generate mocks for interfaces in that package:

with-expecter: true
packages:
    github.com/my/pkg/tools:
        interfaces:
            Interface1:
            Interface2:

When running mockery, it will error out saying there's no module providing github.com/my/pkg/tools. However, Go itself has no issues importing the package.

Expected Behavior

Expected mockery to behave the same way as Go.

Actual Behavior

Mockery fails with:

07 Sep 24 19:07 EDT ERR encountered error when loading package error="-: no required module provides package github.com/my/pkg/tools; to add it:\n\tgo get github.com/my/pkg/tools" dry-run=false version=v2.45.0

Hi @jmgilman,

Could you try deleting all // indirect dependencies while the replace directive is present in the go.mod file? Then, run go mod tidy to fetch the correct dependencies used by the replaced module.

Running go mod tidy while the replace directive exists (after manually deleting indirect dependencies) ensures that Go fetches the correct dependencies based on the specified replacement. Without this step, Go might retain incorrect indirect dependencies and fail to resolve the intended versions correctly.

This is how I resolved the issue when I encountered the same problem.
