Q: XSRF didn't work. #4369

A: From Beego v1.12.3, we set two more flags for XSRF cookie, secure and http-only. secure means that it only works for HTTPS protocol. http-only means that you could not read XSRF token in frontend.

We suggest that disable XSRF when you are developing and enable it in production environment.

The key point is why we add these two flags?

Because it's not safe if missing these two flags. Someone told us that they were attacked. :(

Q: Could I use zipkin, jeaguar or other tracing framework?

A: In Beego v2.x, we build full-chain tracing by using opentracing API. It means that you could use any framework that support opentracing API. Zipkin, jeaguar and skywalking support opentracing API. What you need to do is inject the Tracer instance to opentracing. Please check those frameworks' official doc to learn how to use opentracing API.

Q: How to resolve problem Can not find pakage "github.com/beego/beego/v2"
A: Usually it means that you use GOPATH. Now Beego requires GO MOD, which requires you must set GO111MODULE=on in your environment.
try to run:

export GO111MODULE=on
go get -u github.com/beego/beego/v2@master

Q: Why running go get github.com/beego/beego/v2 always get timeout exception, the message is "dial tcp 172.x.x.x i/o timeout" ??
A: When you got this error, you could set GORPOXY. In general, if you are in China, you could run

export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn

Then try again!

Q: Could not query INFORMATION_SCHEMA for PK/UK/FK information?
A: Please confirm that you are using mysql8.x. It's due to mysql8.x changes its default_authentication_plugin, so Beego could not fetch the schema. Uses this ALTER USER 'userName'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password'; flush privileges;
You can find the solution here beego/bee#540
And here is the mysql docs https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_default_authentication_plugin
