This is interjected for every repo that uses meta tags. It would be useful if there were a failure only. Instead it disrupts the usual pattern of listing packages that have been consulted to fulfil the command. There are other ways to get this information a user can use if they were curious, or needed to debug the situation.

Here's a full sample of the noise in a typical circumstance:

-v means for me that I want/need the noise, most/all of it because I want to investigate/understand things/failures etc.

How many times have you found it useful for meta tags?

Drive-by suggestion: have multiple levels of -v. -v for "some noise" up to -vvv for "tons of chatter."

Not to start a flame war, but, after switching the majority of my development to Go, the only thing I miss about NPM is being able to know what get is actually doing. I don't know if it's a limitation of the network library, or a religious decision to keep things quiet unless there is an error- no news is good news. But for new Go users especially, it can appear there is something wrong when there are no blinkinlights during large package adds.

I work from many offices, on planes and in coffee shops and knowing quickly if there's a problem adding packages is important for productivity. If the first download is going to be slow then the rest are too, and I need to get up and go find a better connection or I'll waste time. go get needs a typical, clear interactive mode that informs terminal users about what it's doing: package(s) it's fetching, rate (estimated completion if calculable), compiling, etc.

There have been many thread comments on this, and I'm not complaining, or piling-on. I'm really happy with Go- it's amazing. And that's why it deserves a first class package-add experience too.

OK, my piece said, back to code..

This is absolutely still a problem but we didn't get to it for Go 1.11.
-v is a build flag that means "print the names of the packages being compiled".
The fact that it got co-opted into "print a ridiculous amount of output about go get" needs to be undone.

Thank you for the confirmation. I expect with go mod this is a non-issue, I've not noticed any excessive logging since beginning to switch over.

It's worth pointing out that niggling over the definition of -v doesn't help. What one person may think is verbose, others may not. It's not specified that -v should provide debug info regarding meta tags, so just make another flag for that.

I believe that is #15959.

The deprecation of go get for installation outside module has incidentally removed the issue as the error message replaces the verbose log.

gotip get -u -v \
    golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc \
    golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru \
    golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename \
    honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/unused \
    github.com/rogpeppe/sortimports
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory.
	'go get' is no longer supported outside a module.
	To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version,
	like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest'
	For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
	or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.

Using go install for the same purpose requires to add a version tag. Here latest is inferred.
The log using go1.24.1 is then restricted to installed modules which seems to solve the issue.

Inside a module, the example fails on one missing package. Removing the missing package adds the requested modules to go.mod with a short log.

Using go install inside a module gives the same result as go get.
Issue seems incidentally solved.
