goenv from Homebrew only has Go 1.12beta1

[wtfbbqhax]

Description:

Platform: macOS 12.4, Intel Core
Goenv: Version 1.23.3

Installed goenv from Homebrew, I think it must be pretty old or maybe I've messed something up, but I was unable to install the versions (1.14.5) that I was looking for.

Request:

It would be great if the README.md or some other documentation could be added or updated with a recommended installation procedure.

Logs:

[chadlwm]

the same question, how to update

[chadlwm]

you should update the goven version~
try

cd ~/.goenv
git pull origin master

then try again

goenv install --list

you will see the lastest version.

this fix my issue.

[MichaelSp]

for me, this cd ~/.goenv is not a git dir

$  ls -la1

btw: very similar to #123

Same issue.

I think it's because of goenv version on homebrew is only 1.23.3, not 2.x

$ brew update && brew upgrade goenv
Already up-to-date.
Warning: goenv 1.23.3 already installed

@syndbg How about update homebrew bottle/formula?
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/goenv#default

[9bow]

I uninstalled goenv from homebrew, and reinstall from GitHub as INSTALL.md (Basic Installation)

$ brew uninstall goenv
Uninstalling /opt/homebrew/Cellar/goenv/1.23.3... (158 files, 265.2KB)
$ rm -rf ~/.goenv
$ git clone https://github.com/syndbg/goenv.git ~/.goenv
Alias tip: g clone https://github.com/syndbg/goenv.git ~/.goenv

Maybe updating homebrew bottle/formula is the best solution.

[CalebAlbers]

The formula definitely needs to be updated to reflect 2.x. I may take a whack at getting a PR going if I have time this week, but in the meantime running brew install goenv --HEAD should do the trick

[agilgur5]

For reference for anyone who stumbles here, this issue duplicates #156 , which also duplicates the pinned issue #80

The formula definitely needs to be updated to reflect 2.x.

Per the above issues, this is not possible as a stable 2.x has not yet landed and homebrew-core requires stable tags. It seems that the author of goenv did not create the core formula either (which is normally a requirement of core as well).

A third-party tap could be created for this in the meantime, however, as those are not restricted to core conventions (being third-party after all).

[9bow]

Thanks for the detailed explaination!
I'll look forward to be stable soon and reflected to homebrew-core. :)

[agilgur5]

I'll look forward to be stable soon and reflected to homebrew-core. :)

Unfortunately it's been a few years since a stable release per #80 etc, so I'm not sure if that will happen any time soon 😕

The best option for now seems to be brew install goenv --HEAD and uninstalling + reinstalling when needing new Go versions. (Or just installing from GitHub etc)

Honestly thinking of creating my own tap to just hold random formulae like this 😅 (though one hosted by the author is probably optimal)

[ChronosMasterOfAllTime]

version 2.0.1 released just now; 2.0.0 is the latest version in brew. Hope this helps!
