Notable Changes

Most importantly, note that the gherkin core is changed to gherkin-go.

Non Backward Compatible Changes

Install godog

With the change of dependencies for godog, which relies on go modules, installing godog now requires go modules to be active.

If you are running within the $GOPATH, you would need to install godog like this: GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/cucumber/godog/cmd/godog@v0.9.0

• Adding GO111MODULE=on will allow go get and go mod to work together as intended.
• Adding @v0.9.0 will install v0.9.0 specifically instead of master.

If you are running outside of the $GOPATH, you should still specify a version.

I you encounter this error, please try adding GO111MODULE=on:

/go# go get github.com/cucumber/godog/cmd/godog
