I installed Golang and faced with go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory error at very first time.
But I'm working on <GOPATH>/src directory. Isn't go.mod only required if current working directory is located out of GOPATH?
Here's detailed information
Go version : go version go1.16.4 windows/amd64

Working directory: C:\Users\<userName>\go\src\main.go
Code :
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("HELLO")
}
And Error:
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'
Build process exiting with code: 1 signal: null
p.s. I'm using VS Code
