Conversation
The example still used go 1.12 and told readers to go get -u enumer, generate, then go mod tidy to drop it again. With Go 1.25 required anyway, pin enumer with a tool directive so go generate works on a fresh clone and tidy keeps the dependency. - examples/gomods/go.mod: go 1.25, tool github.com/dmarkham/enumer - examples/gomods/main.go: go:generate go tool enumer - examples/gomods/README.md: new steps - README.md: state the Go 1.25 floor and lead the install section with the tool directive, pointing at the example - README.md: remove the retired Go Report Card badge

Summary
The
examples/gomodsmodule still declaredgo 1.12and its README told readers togo get -uenumer, generate, thengo mod tidyto remove it again. Since enumer now requires Go 1.25, the example pins enumer with atooldirective instead.go generateworks on a fresh clone andgo mod tidykeeps the dependency.Changes
examples/gomods/go.mod:go 1.25.0,tool github.com/dmarkham/enumer, matchinggo.sumexamples/gomods/main.go://go:generate go tool enumer -type=Pill -jsonexamples/gomods/README.md: rewritten stepsREADME.md: states the Go 1.25 floor, leads the install section with the tool directive, and points at the example as a runnable module set up that wayVerification
In the example directory:
go mod tidyis stable,go generatewritespill_enumer.go,go run .prints the expected three lines, and deleting the generated file and regenerating works again.
