../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs@v0.5.1/internal/provider/generate.go:14:2: no required module provides package github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec/tfinstall; to add it:
        go get github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec/tfinstall
main.go:19: running "go": exit status 1

go get github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec/tfinstall 
go get: module github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec@upgrade found (v0.16.0), but does not contain package github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec/tfinstall

To make this work requires downgrading terraform-exec and terraform-plugin-sdk/v2:

go get github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec/tfinstall@v0.15.0
go get: upgraded cloud.google.com/go v0.45.1 => v0.61.0
go get: added cloud.google.com/go/storage v1.10.0
go get: upgraded github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go v1.15.78 => v1.25.3
go get: added github.com/golang/groupcache v0.0.0-20200121045136-8c9f03a8e57e
go get: downgraded github.com/hashicorp/terraform-exec v0.16.0 => v0.15.0
go get: downgraded github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/v2 v2.11.0 => v2.10.1
go get: upgraded github.com/jmespath/go-jmespath v0.0.0-20160202185014-0b12d6b521d8 => v0.0.0-20180206201540-c2b33e8439af
go get: added github.com/jstemmer/go-junit-report v0.9.1
go get: upgraded go.opencensus.io v0.22.0 => v0.22.4
go get: upgraded golang.org/x/lint v0.0.0-20190313153728-d0100b6bd8b3 => v0.0.0-20200302205851-738671d3881b
go get: upgraded google.golang.org/api v0.9.0 => v0.29.0

Thank you for the heads up about this, @tekumara! The terraform-plugin-docs dependency has been updated to resolve this issue. I will also submit some additional CI testing to verify that the go generate commands works as expected, since this class of issue would not be detected via go test.
