Basic options

expected_version

PANTS_GOLANG_EXPECTED_VERSION
pants.toml
[golang]
expected_version = <str>
default: 1.17

The Go version you are using, such as 1.17.

Pants will only use Go distributions from --go-search-paths that have the expected version, and it will error if none are found.

Do not include the patch version.

PANTS_GOLANG_GO_SEARCH_PATHS
pants.toml
[golang]
go_search_paths = [
'<str>',
'<str>',
...,
]
default:
[
  "<PATH>"
]

A list of paths to search for Go.

Specify absolute paths to directories with the go binary, e.g. /usr/bin. Earlier entries will be searched first.

The special string '<PATH>' will expand to the contents of the PATH env var.
