setup-go: compile: version "go1.16.2" does not match go tool version "go1.15.8"

this issue can be duct-taped like:

      run: |
        export PATH=${GOROOT}/bin:$PATH
        go version

issue I found is that GOROOT is appended at the end of the path, basically it will resolve system go in /usr/bin first if not fixed

Noticed that I see this issue while using act, i could not reproduce it on the Github.

Hi @fatedier, could you try to remove go symlink from /usr/bin as workaround in your workflow file?

- run: sudo rm /usr/bin/go

@Sergey-Murtazin Thanks for your reply.

Maybe remove export PATH := $(GOPATH)/bin:$(PATH) could work for this Makefile since it not rely on $(GOPATH)/bin.

However, i need to execute make e2e to run e2e tests in my real project. It will download ginkgo first by go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@latest and then execute it from $GOPATH/bin. It works well in most of environments.

Can we set GOPATH variable in setup-go action, so users will not be affect by different environments?

Ok so I managed to solve it by specifying go to use in the build process when using https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-builder

--go string                The Go binary to use during the compilation phase (default "/usr/bin/go")

The problem is that /usr/bin/go has a different version than what is installed via the action (unless you specify the very same version to use ofc).
