IIRC I already tried this and there were more changes needed. Some involved modifying some of the CI tools (not sure if it was Travis, Prow, KinD or the api server images). Also, you would need to require 13+ in

kubebuilder/cmd/internal/go_version.go

Lines 71 to 73 in 29d1dc1

	return fmt.Errorf("requires version >= 1.11")

@Adirio,

IIRC I already tried this and there were more changes needed. Some involved modifying some of the CI tools (not sure if it was Travis, Prow, KinD or the api server images). Also, you would need to require 13+ in

Did you find any place that is using a go version < 1.13 ?

See that Travis is using 1.13 and it is the info the Kubebuilder docs as well. Also, since all CI tests passed with the check I would assume that has not a place using a lower version too.

However, please let me know if you see any reason we do not move forward here.

I remembered one of the tests failing but it doesn't seem to happen so:

/lgtm

[Adirio]

I didn't realize that a lgtm was going to merge it.

@DirectXMan12 @mengqiy @droot if you consider this shouldn't be merged we can clease the mess, sorry.
