Error loading workspace: err: exit status 1: stderr: go: updates to go.mod needed, disabled by -mod=readonly; to update it: go mod tidy : packages.Load error

go mod tidy upgrades my package version which is breaking my code base and I don't want to update/modify my mod file because it's working in our Prod.

Is there any option to disable this in VS code.

`go mod tidy` should not break your builds - it merely removes dead/unused dependencies. If it does error, then your `go.mod` needs fixing. – colm.anseo Oct 11 '22 at 13:05
check if there is correct versioning in go.mod ,i don't think go mod tidy will do any upgrade task, ` go get -u` is the command to upgrade – Latheesh V M Villa Oct 11 '22 at 13:33
Is there any way to prevent version update of some module. for example k8s.io/api v0.17.6 k8s.io/apimachinery v0.17.6 is getting update to k8s.io/api v0.25.0 k8s.io/apimachinery v0.25.0 which has breaking changes. – Mohan Choudhary Oct 11 '22 at 13:37
try removing the package then use the `go get` – Latheesh V M Villa Oct 11 '22 at 13:49
Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. – mohammad mobasher Oct 20 '22 at 06:36
