go mod tidy Fails Due to Module Path Mismatch: github.com/docker/docker/api vs github.com/moby/moby/api

[ShigrafS]

Current Behavior

When running go mod tidy in MeshKit, several tests fail with errors like:

github.com/docker/docker/api@v1.54.0: parsing go.mod:
module declares its path as: github.com/moby/moby/api
                but was required as: github.com/docker/docker/api

These errors occur in dependencies such as github.com/kubernetes/kompose and github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient.

Expected Behavior

All tests should run successfully with go test ./... without any module path mismatches, even when the code itself hasn’t changed.

                but was required as: github.com/docker/docker/api

Environment

• Host OS: Windows 11
• Platform: (tested locally)
• Meshery Server Version: N/A (MeshKit library)
• Meshery Client Version: N/A (MeshKit library)

Suggested Fix / Notes

Adding a replace directive in go.mod appears to resolve this:

replace github.com/docker/docker/api => github.com/moby/moby/api v20.10.24+incompatible

This allows Go to reconcile the module path mismatch without changing MeshKit source code.
