cmd/cert_manager and otel: Failed to load package: main module does not contain package

[dshukla2510]

I added cmd/path for cert-manager(controller, cainjector, and webhook) and otel when creating the json file with command "cyclonedx-gomod app -assert-licenses -json -licenses -output-version 1.4 -output base.json -main cmd/controller/"

It gives error "11:13AM ERR error="failed to load package: main module (github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager) does not contain package github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/cmd/controller"

But, when I ran it inside "cmd/controller/", it generates files.

Why it is not generating the file with cmd/path?

It should generate the json with this command "cyclonedx-gomod app -assert-licenses -json -licenses -output-version 1.4 -output base.json -main cmd/controller/"

Instead of, "cmd/controller/ && cyclonedx-gomod app -assert-licenses -json -licenses -output-version 1.4 -output base.json -main . "

FYI, It is working with cmd/path with otherpackages though, like ingress-nginx, argo-cd, argo-events, cloudnative-pg. Only not working with otel and cert_manager

Looks like it's working as intended. Refer to cyclonedx-gomod app's help text:

USAGE
  cyclonedx-gomod app [FLAGS...] [MODULE_PATH]

...

The -main flag should be used to specify the path to the application's main package.
It must point to a directory within MODULE_PATH. If not set, MODULE_PATH is assumed.

In your case, because controller is its own separate module, you need to point MODULE_PATH to it, like so:

cyclonedx-gomod app -assert-licenses -json -licenses -output-version 1.4 -output base.json ./cmd/controller

Note how you no longer need to set the -main flag as well.
