Problem

When using Google Wire with Go workspace mode (go.work), go generate ./... fails:

go generate ./...
go: -mod may only be set to readonly or vendor when in workspace mode, but it is set to "mod"
        Remove the -mod flag to use the default readonly value,
        or set GOWORK=off to disable workspace mode.
xxx/xxx/wire_gen.go:3: running "go": exit status 1

Wire generates code with this directive that conflicts with workspace mode:

//go:generate go run -mod=mod github.com/google/wire/cmd/wire
//go:build !wireinject
// +build !wireinject

Solution

Auto removes the -mod=mod flag from Wire-generated files, making them workspace-compatible:

//go:generate go run github.com/google/wire/cmd/wire

Wire Status (2025)

• Latest version: v0.7.0 (August 22, 2025)
• Repo: Archived, read-access-mode (August 25, 2025)
• Workspace issue: NOT fixed (PR #410 remains open)
• This package remains needed as Wire won't receive more updates

Installation

go install github.com/yylego/kratos-wire/cmd/wirekratos@latest

Usage

Auto mode (Kratos projects)

wirekratos -framework=kratos

Auto detects cmd/PROJECT_NAME/wire_gen.go in Kratos projects.

Relative path mode

wirekratos -name=cmd/myproject/wire_gen.go

Absolute path mode

wirekratos -path=/absolute/path/to/wire_gen.go

Debug mode

wirekratos -framework=kratos -debug

Demo Projects

Complete demo projects showing integration in production Kratos applications:

kratos-wire-demos - Full-featured Kratos applications with Wire integration

• demo1kratos - Basic Kratos project setup
• demo2kratos - Advanced Kratos project with workspace

How It Works

1. Locates wire_gen.go file
2. Checks Wire-generated code signature
3. Finds the //go:generate directive (line 3)
4. Removes -mod=mod flag if present
5. Keeps everything else unchanged
