Error installing go (golang)

[Heus-Sueh]

Describe the bug

go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: "$HOME/Codelearning/go". this user "codelearning" is not mine

🞈 mise use -g go
go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: "$HOME/Codelearning/go".
For more details see: 'go help gopath'
mise ~/.local/share/mise/installs/go/1.23.1/bin/go failed
go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: "$HOME/Codelearning/go".
For more details see: 'go help gopath'
Error:
   0: ~/.local/share/mise/installs/go/1.23.1/bin/go exited with non-zero status: exit code 2

Location:
   src/cmd.rs:380

Version:
   2024.6.6 linux-x64 (409d6e4 2024-06-20)

Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display it.
Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=full to include source snippets.

To Reproduce mise use -g go in an immutable/atomic distro like Fedora Atomic

Expected behavior go be installed

Bom dia Metheus!

Just tried with a fedora distro which did no show any issues. Your mise version used seems a bit dated but that should not be the problem. I assume an existing environment variable might interfere.

$ docker run -it --rm fedora /bin/sh
$ yum install -y yum-utils
$ yum-config-manager --add-repo https://mise.jdx.dev/rpm/mise.repo
$ yum install -y mise
$ mise use -g go
$ mise x -- go version
go version go1.23.1 linux/arm64

Can you post your env output?

I believe this bug affects the atomic version of Fedora, if mise is trying to install on /usr it will not be able to install, because this directory is read-only for security

Can you post your env output?

env:

🞈 mise env
export JAVA_HOME=/var/home/heus/.local/share/mise/installs/java/17.0.2
export PATH='/var/home/heus/.local/share/mise/installs/java/17/bin:/var/home/heus/.local/share/mise/installs/python/3.12/bin:/var/home/heus/.local/share/mise/installs/watchexec/latest/bin:/var/home/heus/.local/share/mise/shims:/usr/lib64/ccache:/var/home/heus/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/home/heus/.local/bin:/var/home/heus/.cargo/bin:/var/home/heus/.scripts/:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin:/var/home/heus/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin:/usr/local/go/bin'

I guess in this case you need to set MISE_DATA_DIR (and maybe others) to a directory that is writable.

but by default it is already configured for the home which is not a problem, the problem would be being set in a system directory

I would be interested in your env output (not mise env). AFAIK mise does not set GOPATH so its probably set by something else.

I managed to solve it by setting these paths manually in bashrc

export GOPATH=$HOME/.go
export GOMODCACHE=$HOME/.go/pkg/mod

but I have no idea where this "codelearning" user came from, I've already checked in /etc/environment, /etc/profile, bashrc or zshrc
