Compatible with gRPC?

[breznik]

I'm trying to set up a simple gradle/golang project that depends on Google's gRPC library. When I add other dependencies like protocol buffers, things seem to work as expected, but once I add gRPC I am seeing a clone exception.

Here's my sample build.gradle:

plugins {
    id "org.echocat.golang" version "0.1.16"
}

group = 'github.com/breznik/myproject'

golang {
    platforms = System.getProperty("platforms", "linux-amd64,darwin-amd64")

    dependencies {
        build 'github.com/golang/protobuf/proto'
        build 'github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go'
        build 'google.golang.org/grpc'
    }
}

The output is:

:baseValidate
:validate
:baseClean
:clean
:prepareToolchain
:baseGetTools
:getTools
:basePrepareSources
:prepareSources
:baseTest
:test
:baseBuild

* What went wrong:

Doing a regular 'go get google.golang.org/grpc' seems to work fine in other projects. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've also tried to pin the dependencies to specific versions, but that didn't seem to help.

Is there any news on this issue?
I also came across with this problem

I'm having the same issues with custom repositories like

k8s.io/client-go/kubernetes
which eventually resolves to
https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go

Right now it just naively appends ".git" and hopes that it can retrieve something from the other end.
