Duplicate golang.org/x/net/trace when importing api

[jasonmf]

Describe the bug
I pull down the latest version and compile my tool which imports vault/api. My tool now immediately fails when invoked, even just using -h (from std flags):

panic: /debug/requests is already registered. You may have two independent copies of golang.org/x/net/trace in your binary, trying to maintain separate state. This may involve a vendored copy of golang.org/x/net/trace.

goroutine 1 [running]:
golang.org/x/net/trace.init.0()
        /home/me/go/src/golang.org/x/net/trace/trace.go:123 +0x1cf

I ran git bisect on the vault source and got:

170521481d58961761bfd6877221b005cf0f4c7e is the first bad commit

    Create sdk/ and api/ submodules (#6583)

To Reproduce
Repro code (saved as /tmp/v.go):

import (
        "log"

        _ "github.com/hashicorp/vault/api"
        _ "golang.org/x/net/trace"
)

func main() {
        log.Print("Hello world!")
}

For each round of git bisect:

go run /tmp/v.go && git bisect good || git bisect bad

Output of git bisect log:

Expected behavior
Importing both golang.org/x/net/trace and github.com/hashicorp/vault/api shouldn't cause a panic.

Thanks for pointing this out.
api/v1.0.2 removes a transient dependency on golang.org/x/net/trace

$ cat v.go

package main

import (
  "log"

  _ "github.com/hashicorp/vault/api"
  _ "golang.org/x/net/trace"
)

func main() {
        log.Print("Hello world!")
}

$ cat go.mod

module example.com/test

go 1.12

require (
	github.com/hashicorp/vault/api v1.0.2
	golang.org/x/net v0.0.0-20190503192946-f4e77d36d62c
)

$ go run v.go
2019/05/08 17:24:51 Hello world!

We found that the dependency on golang.org/x/net/trace was introduced by an (unneeded) dependency on google.golang.org/grpc. Since grpc is a widely used package, it might be worthwhile raising an issue with the trace package on the panic that you were seeing which is ultimately coming from here: https://github.com/golang/net/blob/master/trace/trace.go#L123
