golang

Options for Golang support.

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.go
Config section: [golang]

Basic options

`go_search_paths`

--golang-go-search-paths="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_GOLANG_GO_SEARCH_PATHS

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.

`expected_version`

--golang-expected-version=<str>
PANTS_GOLANG_EXPECTED_VERSION

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.

Advanced options

`subprocess_env_vars`

--golang-subprocess-env-vars="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_GOLANG_SUBPROCESS_ENV_VARS

default:

[
  "LANG",
  "LC_CTYPE",
  "LC_ALL",
  "PATH"
]

Environment variables to set when invoking the go tool. Entries are either strings in the form ENV_VAR=value to set an explicit value; or just ENV_VAR to copy the value from Pants's own environment.

Deprecated options

None
