Issue with Github actions asking for go mod tidy

[MitchellGale]

Hi, I'm working on a PR to implement a new component. During my work I ran into an issue with several GitHub Actions failing.

My fork I am working on/Pr is here: Bit-Quill#20.

I'm getting many failed actions, one of which is [prometheus-compliance-tests](https://github.com/Bit-Quill/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/actions/runs/5382677918/jobs/9768431925?pr=20#logs):

go: downloading github.com/cilium/ebpf v0.7.0
go: downloading github.com/pelletier/go-toml v1.9.5
go: updates to go.mod needed; to update it:
	go mod tidy
make: *** [Makefile:281: otelcontribcol] Error 1
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

When I run go mod tidy as it recommends I don't see any changes to my files that I am able to commit.

I know it's not got any functionality yet, but I am trying to just prove that the actions can pass for me before I start on the major functionality.

I have been stuck on this issue for a bit and would really appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Hey!
Error code 2: so it's compiling/build error.

1. You can check if your go version matches with the project's version:
   run $go version in your terminal, it seems that the project is using go version: 1.19.

2. Double check & compare your go.mod & go.sum files to ensure they are up to date.
   2.1. Since the error message shows that it is downloading gh.com/cilium/ebpf and gh.com/pelletier/go-toml, make sure these dependencies are accessible and properly installed

3. Make sure that the Makefile (Makefile:281:otelcontribcol) is being executed correctly, check if there are any extra steps or prerequisites or config steps before running otelcontribcol target.

4. Review the build logs & error messages for prometheus-compliance-tests check;
   Its on your gh pull request -> Checks -> prometheus-compliance-tests check -> Details;
   From there you'll see the workflow run, look for a failed job(s) to get additional information for the Makefile:281:otelcontribcol error.

Let me know if this helped &|| if you could provide more details about this particular error.

Best of luck!
