ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

[jackzampolin]

I have installed gvm using:

bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)

After restarting my terminal I try to use:

gvm install go1.4

and get the following output:

Downloading Go source...
Updating Go source...
ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

GVM is v1.0.22. I have mercurial installed on my system as well as xcode dev-tools

[matthewjosephtaylor]

Same error I'm using docker ubuntu latest. Go Version Manager v1.0.22 installed at /home/user/.gvm

[Zilev]

I'm having the same error, any idea? thanks in advance

gvm install go1.4.2 gvm use go1.4.2

it's works for me

[sunloverz]

[mezoni]

Specifying the default version should help

gvm use go1.7.4 --default

[lestrrat]

FYI, this just happened to me. After a little digging around I did

cd ~/.gvm/archive/go
git pull --tags

Then after tags were pulled in, gvm install go1.9.3 worked.

[BenKnigge]

Not sure if this is still an issue but I plan on looking into it.

Still doesn't work for me =/

Tried with go1.14.4 and go1.4.2

Please take a look at https://github.com/moovweb/gvm/pull/354. I've also had this problem but this small patch seemed to have fixed it (TLDR: when installing new version it runs git pull without --tags hence not downloading new release tags).

[pakistancan]

check if GREP_OPTIONS is set to --color=always, either set this to --color=never or edit following scripts

~/.gvm/scripts/install ~/.gvm/scripts/env/use

and add --color=never to all the places where $GREP_PATH is used

[stevem995]

Still broken on mac....

gvm install go1.16.5 Installing go1.16.5...

[pmalek]

Still works for me using what I've proposed in #354

[pakistancan]

@stevem995 can you please check log and see what went wrong?

[stevem995]

I lost home internet. Will try to check tomorrow.

New machine was hitting the same issues with gvm v1.0.22, depending on the go version .

As there was no go on the sytem, installed the initial version https://go.dev/doc/install and gvm install started to function after that.
