x/pkgsite/cmd/pkgsite: Unable to fetch std@Latest Pkgsite documentation for Local Main go Repo : https://go.googlesource.com/go

[Goclipse27]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go1.21.3

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes. But the ultimate intention is to run pkgsite for main go repository - std@latest against master(1.22) branch.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output

$ go env
Windows, amd64, gcc

What did you do?

1. git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go/
2. git checkout go1.21.3
3. git switch -c go1.21.3
4. C:\Users\R\golang\go\src> all.bat

What did you expect to see?

I was hoping to see the documentation website like pkg.go.dev and std libs listed and to look at their documentation.

What did you see instead?

When I try pkgsite with proxy I get below error

pkgsite -proxy (GOPROXY - https://proxy.golang.org,direct)

Note: However, when I tried local packages(Cloned from repo to local), they are working , screenshots attached.

@bcmills - I have my local devel golang - set GOVERSION=devel go1.22-b5f87b5407 Tue Oct 24 20:28:25 2023 +0000 and GOROOT and tools are all local development directory. It is not able to show pkgsite and has shown above errors.

However when I point my GOROOT to my base golang installation "C:\Program Files\go" (go1.21.3) and respective set GOTOOLDIR, I am able to see the local stdlib code changes reflecting in the documentation. Looks like I am using different toolchain here to render local development stdlib documentation on pkgsite? Is this an issue to be reported?

CC @matloob @jba

Michael, could this be related to recent cmd/pkgsite changes?

[matloob]

@findleyr yes, I think it is related to the recent cmd/pkgsite changes.

[findleyr]

@matloob thanks, tentatively assigned to you to investigate further.

[gopherbot]

Change https://go.dev/cl/540635 mentions this issue: internal/stdlib: pass -f to git fetch in remoteGoRepo.clone

[matloob]

I was able to reproduce the Error: loading packages from stdlib: err: fork/exec $GOROOT\bin\go.exe: The parameter is incorrect.: stderr: error on Windows. Seems like it's only happening there.

The refusing to fetch into branch 'refs/heads/main' may be the same as issue #63254
