1.15.15 is missing ?

[gedw99]

I was playing around with a golang project today. This one...

module github.com/ajstarks/dchart

go 1.15

When I did the normal go brew thing it failed as:

gobrew use mod
==> [Info] Downloading version: 1.15.15
==> [Info] Downloading from: https://go.dev/dl/go1.15.15.darwin-arm64.tar.gz
==> [Info] Downloading to: /Users/apple/.gobrew/downloads
==> [Info] Extracting from: /Users/apple/.gobrew/downloads/go1.15.15.darwin-arm64.tar.gz
==> [Info] Extracting to: /Users/apple/.gobrew/versions/1.15.15
==> [Info] Extract failed: open /Users/apple/.gobrew/downloads/go1.15.15.darwin-arm64.tar.gz: no such file or directory

I guess the golang team did not publish a version of golang that matches ? Or maybe something else ?

when I put https://go.dev/dl/go1.15.15.darwin-arm64.tar.gz into a browser it failed to find it.

so maybe go brew code is wrong in the way it works out where to download things ?

Also no sign of it in the versions folder

This special cases happen due to change in arm and Darwin releases upon M1 Macs.

We should have better error messaging for such cases for old go versions - that architecture doesn’t exist, instead of assuming and trying the downloads.

[gedw99]

I see .. so no fix possible ?

For now, I will force old repos to upgrade to a more recent golang then as a work around.

[kevincobain2000]

so no fix possible?

Right, no fix at this moment because the binary on the source also doesn't exist.

Confirmation:

that architecture doesn’t exist, instead of assuming and trying the downloads.

ok thanks @kevincobain2000

Such is the situation.

In my system I will alter my pipeline to:

• add a "go mod edit" to force golang repos to use a higher version
• use "gobrew use" then will work fine.

shall close this, but reopen if needed....

I've updated to go1.19

Thanks @ajstarks 🙏
