The _getLatestVersion function in the goFetch.js file is designed to fetch the latest version of a Go package when no specific version is provided. However, we are encountering an error when attempting to use this function with the crawler for Go packages. It seems that the URL being used to retrieve the latest package version is invalid, causing the process to fail.
Expected Behavior
When a Go package is specified without a version, the crawler should automatically retrieve information for the latest version of the package using a correct URL.
Current Behavior
The crawler fails with the below error when trying to fetch the latest version of a Go package due to an invalid URL.
RequestError: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND golang
Steps to Reproduce
Invoke the crawler for a Go package without specifying a version. We are using go/golang/rsc.io/quote coordinate .
Observe that the crawler fails to process the request and returns the below error
RequestError: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND golang
Solution
The URL used in the _getLatestVersion function needs to be corrected as below.
Current URL used - const initial_url = 'https://${spec.provider}/${spec.namespace}/${spec.name}/@v/list' where the value of spec.provider is coming to be golang which forms an incorrect URL.
Updated Working URL should be - const initial_url = 'https://proxy.golang.org/${spec.namespace}/${spec.name}/@v/list'
