Go get ginkgo fails to get fsnotify

[tanayk2610]

When I run go get -u -v github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo, I get the following error:

# go get -u -v github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo

go get: error loading module requirements

The workaround was to use ginkgo v1.11.0.

Try go get gopkg.in/fsnotify/fsnotify.v1

I also experienced this issue while trying to build my devcontainer:

[132834 ms] build github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo: cannot load gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1: cannot find module providing package gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1
[133630 ms] The command '... go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@v1.11.0  ...' returned a non-zero code: 1

Changing from go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@v1.11.0 to go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@v1.12.0 fixed the issue

@tanayk2610, @Bablzz, @EliiseS this issue is resolved as of yesterday. A PR was merged that changed the package that caused this error.

Since there's a fix for this and it has been released, I'm going to close this. Please raise another issue if there are still problems.
