missing go.sum entry for module providing package How to fix it.

Your go.sum file is missing an entry. Run go mod tidy on your machine and commit go.mod and go.sum.

What it means

go.mod lists the modules your program uses. go.sum holds checksums for them. A package was added to your code or to go.mod, but its checksum was not recorded, so the build stops. The build says it in one line: go.sum is incomplete.

How to fix it

  1. Run go mod tidy on your machine

    It adds the missing entries and removes the ones you no longer use.

  2. Commit go.mod and go.sum

    Both files must be sent with your code.

  3. Deploy again

    A failed deploy never counts against your plan.

Why it happens

A coding agent adds an import, or edits go.mod by hand, and does not run go mod tidy. The program still builds on a machine whose module cache already holds the package, and fails on a clean server.

Why does it work on my machine?

Your machine may already have the module downloaded. A clean build server does not.

Does this failed deploy cost anything?

No. Failed deploys never count against your plan.

Should I commit go.sum?

Yes. Commit both go.mod and go.sum, so every build uses the same checksums.
