Uppdating azure-sdk-for-go library dependancies

Question

What is the best practice to carry out this task?

What I tried so far, simply run command dep ensure -update github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go that threw the following error:

    Warning: the following project(s) have [[constraint]] stanzas in Gopkg.toml:

  ✗  github.com/gravitational/trace
  .....

dep ensure gives me similar error as dep -update command. dep check gives following output:

# Gopkg.lock is out of sync:
github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/compute: imported or required, but missing from Gopkg.lock's input-imports
.....

and

# vendor is out of sync:
cloud.google.com/go: no digest in Gopkg.lock to compare against hash of vendored tree
github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go: no digest in Gopkg.lock to compare against hash of vendored tree
....

This is a rather large project. Should I manually remove all existing dependencies in the code to the old import azure-sdk-for-go? or should deb be able to carry out this task? Iw'e tried various hacks to get this working, like for instance, manually modifying the Gopk.lock file, deleting the azure-sdk-for-go folder in the vendor folder, but so far I had no luck. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Looks like your updating from a quite old version, since github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/arm/compute has been deprecated and removed almost a year ago while this SDK was still in preview.

To move forward, you should update your compute path to github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/services/compute/mgmt/2018-10-01/compute. There will be several other breaking changes to adopt since then as well.
