If a project has vendored dependencies, what steps would you take to update a specific dependency to a new version?

  • Manually edit the vendored source code to incorporate the changes.
  • Use the 'go get' command to update the dependency automatically.
  • Update the 'go.mod' file and run 'go mod tidy' to fetch the new version.
  • Delete the vendor directory and reinstall all dependencies from scratch.
To update a specific vendored dependency to a new version in a Go project, you should first update the version in the 'go.mod' file to specify the desired version. Afterward, run 'go mod tidy' to fetch the new version and update the 'go.sum' file. This approach ensures that you're using the correct version of the dependency and maintains the integrity of the project's module dependencies.
