goenv: goenv --list doesn't show 1.19.2 version

No worries! Thanks for troubleshooting!

@ChronosMasterOfAllTime

Sorry for the slow responses:

EDIT: I took a peek at my version of the file. Something’s not quite right here. Seems we have a mismatch?

Is it the brew version, or just from the repo? Looks like we’re replacing it in brew https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/14692a303c3fecbf65acd18d3b2bc9f8edb5ec02/Formula/goenv.rb#L32 that’s the reason probably

@Lisenish try wiping the goenv installed by brew. Instead clone the repo to path of your choosing and add it to your PATH. See if the behavior persists that way. If it doesn’t it’s something with the way brew behaves on your system.

I was pretty sure the repo version would fix it, but I’m just curious if it maybe some issue with the brew version. So I’ve investigated a little bit and found a fix for me:

❯ goenv which go-build
_my_home_folder_/.goenv/plugins/go-build/bin/go-build
❯ goenv which goenv
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/goenv/HEAD-7af20a1/libexec/goenv

❯ ls /opt/homebrew/Cellar/goenv/HEAD-7af20a1/plugins/go-build/share/go-build | grep 1.20
1.20.0
1.20.1
1.20rc1
1.20rc2

❯ ls /Users/d-ivanov/.goenv/plugins/go-build/share/go-build/ | grep 1.20
Empty

❯ echo $GOENV_ROOT
_my_home_folder_/.goenv
❯ GOENV_ROOT=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/goenv/HEAD-7af20a1/libexec/goenv
❯ goenv install -l | grep 1.20
  1.20.0
  1.20rc1
  1.20rc2
  1.20.1

So looks like for some reason I have .goenv in home folder which I shouldn’t have since I’m using brew version and for some reason GOENV_ROOT is pointing to that folder? I think I never tweaked anything and never installed it manually without the brew so not sure if there’s some bug maybe? Or maybe it’s still just me and I somehow messed up my env? Unfortunately, I don’t know the codebase well enough to quickly try to investigate by myself now.

If you think it’s just my local mess and other brew users are fine - let’s close this ticket, thanks for all the help here 🙇

If you install goenv using the command brew install goenv, the version is often outdated and not synchronised with the latest git commit. Therefore, even if the latest version of go is available under the directory “https://github.com/syndbg/goenv/tree/master/plugins/go-build/share/go-build”, it cannot be seen in “goenv install --list”.

You can use brew install --HEAD goenv to install the latest version of goenv.

If you encounter the error message “invalid option: --HEAD”, you need to first brew uninstall goenv.

Thanks for all the information! It gives me something to work with and be able to pin down the problem.

@ChronosMasterOfAllTime It didn’t fix it, but I finally found time to read the sources and investigate the issue:

I’ve found that while goenv has the correct version, but install plugin seems outdated:

❯ goenv install --version
go-build 2.0.0beta1
❯ go-build --version
go-build 2.0.5

From sources, it looks these versions should be the same actually?

1. https://github.com/syndbg/goenv/tree/master/plugins/go-build/share/go-build
2. My Homebrew prefix for it looks like this

brew --prefix goenv
/opt/homebrew/opt/goenv

but when I checked cat /opt/homebrew/opt/goenv/plugins/go-build.install.sh, it contains the following:

if [ -z "${PREFIX}" ]; then
  PREFIX="/opt/homebrew"
fi

BIN_PATH="${PREFIX}/bin"
SHARE_PATH="${PREFIX}/share/go-build"

The path here looks incorrect and actually /opt/homebrew/share/go-build doesn’t exist, but it somehow works still and showing

1. go-build --definitions outputs correct list of versions (updated)

I didn’t have time to investigate further yet, but maybe this will provide some idea to you what might be wrong? goenv install refers to some incorrect go-build version?

looks like the go–version code didnt get updated with the new version (oops)
