Cannot install go version due to missing binpath #3386

What version of Go, VS Code & VS Code Go extension are you using?

Version Information

* Run `code -v` or `code-insiders -v` to get version of VS Code or VS Code Insiders. ``` 1.89.0 b58957e67ee1e712cebf466b995adf4c5307b2bd x64 ``` * Check your installed extensions to get the version of the VS Code Go extension - v0.41.4

Describe the bug

When I select the version to install (1.21.10), I get:

Could not install ${goOption.binpath}

Sadly from the error message I cannot debug what is wrong or how to fix it

Thanks for the report. There was a bug in error printing that we need to fix. About the root cause - can you open the "Go" output channel and see what's printed there?

There should be a log message that looks like Error installing golang.org/dl/go1.x.x: ....

There is insufficient information here to identify the problem. Could you describe more fully the sequence of steps you tried, and exactly what happened?

It says:

@AndreasBergmeier6176 Thanks! Have you tried go install golang.org/dl/go1.22.3@latest from your terminal?

Do you mind what operating system you are using? The signalsToIgnore is defined in https://github.com/golang/dl/blob/master/internal/version/signal_unix.go and signal_notunix.go. From the build tag, I see this handles only unix, js, wasip1, plan9, windows.

Gives the same error message

Do you mind what operating system you are using?

Ubuntu 22.04.4 go version go1.18.1 linux/amd64

hyangah commented 1 month ago

Thanks. Looks like recently golang.org/dl/go* changed to require supported go versions for installation. Unfortunately ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS is still using go1.18, which is already out of the range supported by the Go project https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#policy.

Some options:

If you don't want to change the system default go, download a newer go version and configure the "go.toolsManagement.go": "<path_to_the_newer_go_binary>" setting.
Install a new version of go in your system and use it as the system default go version (https://go.dev/wiki/Ubuntu or https://go.dev/doc/install#install), or
Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04... (which has go 1.22. After go1.22, the go toolchain auto updates so this type of issues shouldn't happen)

AndreasBergmeier6176 commented 1 month ago

In this case maybe the sensible way would be for this extension to download 1.22 and execute e.g. go install golang.org/dl/go1.22.3@latest using that downloaded version?
