Issue

After creating an environment with this conda package, and activating it, any call to go (e.g. go version) fails with the following error:

go: cannot find GOROOT directory: 'go' binary is trimmed and GOROOT is not set

Interestingly doing the same via conda run works fine.

I'm using PowerShell 7 and miniconda3.

[xhochy]

Do you first activate the environment and then run go or is this error only happening without activation?

[burdiyan]

@xhochy This happens after activating the environment, as I mentioned in the initial message:

After creating an environment with this conda package, and activating it.

I suspect the problem is that I'm doing it through PowerShell, but the activation script that sets the GOROOT environment variable is written for CMD according to this package's recipe. So, maybe it just doesn't work under PowerShell?

[xhochy]

This could be the issue. But I have seen very packages actually having activation scripts for powershell. Thus, I had the belief that powershell users would get the activation through CMD. Still, I'm confused that this error is popping up as we don't set GOROOT in any activation script.

[burdiyan]

I could swear I've seen something related to GOROOT in the activation script, but I can't see now :(

Regardless, the issue is still there.
