moovweb / gvm Goto Github PK

Hello, I'm having trouble using gvm with oh-my-zsh. It seems the gvm bin path is not exported to the shell when using zsh (yes I restarted the terminal)

Many people, when switching to GVM, may already have an existing version of Go installed. This might come from the OS package system, or they may even be running tip and contributing to the language. . It would be cool if gvm could detect the 'system' version (i.e it could check for GOROOT during install).

Since gvm installs goprotobuf by default, it should check if the dependent protobuf is installed.

GVM can't install/find any go1.2(rcX) or tip version

• gvm listall does not show any 1.2 versions
• When running gvm install 1.2rc1 downloads something, but fails with ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

My Homebrewed Go installation doesn't set GOROOT by default, so it doesn't get picked up when GVM is installed.

Hey Guys,

I am sorry for so many stupid questions, but after installing Go via GVM I am unable to use the go command.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Josh

It would appear that gvm_export_path (which I introduced) is not present as a function in certain contexts. Example:

The Go project provides pre-compiled binaries for at least the most recent stable version and upcoming release candidates and betas. It would be nice to be able to use these rather than require a compiler.

Hi,

My computer OS is Mac OSX 10.9.2.

I can't reached the original hostname raw.github.com, it has been change to raw.githubusercontent.com.

I can fixed this issue by added curl -L parameter as following code:

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

or directly modify hostname as following code:

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

I can download the go source tarball myself in about 30 seconds. When I try to install with gvm, nothing seems to happen.

$ gvm install go1.2
Downloading Go source...

I can leave this for several minutes without any change. What's going on?

Some terminal and running environments don't support TTY color codes and should be handled to provide cleaner output.

I'm looking to add to my zsh line the status of gvm e.g.

if a go version is in use --> if so what version --> if so what package set

I'm sorting through my env variables and there does not seem to be a difference whether an env is loaded or not, unless I'm missing something.

I'd suggest this as a feature, if it is missing, a gvm status/state var. If someone would suggest some guide, I'd be happy to make the attempt.

Hi guys, love the project. I use gvm a lot, but I like to install it with git-only. This is very actually very simple; I just need to clone the repository to ~/.gvm and add the following to my rc script:

export GVM_ROOT=$HOME/.gvm
source $GVM_ROOT/scripts/gvm-default

My problem is that the gvm script intentionally hides the .git directory, making git pulls cumbersome, and making the directory unrecognizable as a git repository to configuration management tools. This is described as a safety feature in this commit: 85db830, but without any explanation of the risks averted.

Issue #7 alludes to this as a nuisance that is worked around, but would it be possible to just remove this behavior, and allow for the dynamic management of the gvm installation?

I've been trying to use gvm to support building a single package (lib/pq) on four go versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.1, and tip. I'd like to share a source directory for these builds, since the source is exactly the same (where different code is necessary for different versions, we use build constraints to maintain a single source tree).

A colleague has been doing this with gvm since before pkgsets by just symlinking the single GOPATH into the various version-specific GOPATH directories in ~/.gvm. I'm trying to set up something similar now, and by looking at the README, I thought pkgsets might help, but I see that they are tied to a specific go version. Does gvm support the same source tree (ideally, just the same src component of GOPATH) across multiple go versions? Would that make sense? Does it present problems?

Hey @moovweb,

I installed gvm as per the instructions, and added the source line to my .zsh_profile but get the following error when I run the gvm command:

➜  ~  gvm
gvm:20: = not found

I am not sure how to diagnose this error, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bundle,

Josh

Binary packages for Mac include either -osx10.8 or -osx10.6 in their URLs.

The installer script does not create the .gvm/scripts directory, causing an error [1]. I worked around this by adding the following line before the declaration of source_line (about line 90) in the installer script:

mkdir -p ~/.gvm/scripts

It worked for me, but probably is not optimal.

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a way to install 1.1 beta without installing tip?

eg. gvm install go1.1beta2

Thanks,

Josh

It would be great if GVM supported cross compiling. As far as I can see this would fit pretty good with the current workflow.

There could be a command like

gvm target use linux-amd64

and when the binaries have not yet been created they are automatically built right afterwards.

Previously I appended my current project to $GOPATH. GVM doesn't seem to support this. I'm only able to link single packages using gvm linkthis, but not an entire src directory, because linkthis automatically assumes a package and not a whole directory containing packages.

$ gvm install 1.2
Installing go1.1.2...

• Compiling...

I'm not sure how go1.1.2 == 1.2 but ok....

I then installed go1.2 and that worked:
$ gvm install go1.2
Installing go1.2...

• Compiling...

then I get:
$ gvm use 1.2
Now using version go1.1.2
$ go version
go version devel +1b5a82d4b552 Sun Apr 20 20:29:17 2014 +0200 darwin/amd64
$ gvm use go1.2
Now using version go1.2
$ go version
go version devel +1b5a82d4b552 Sun Apr 20 20:29:17 2014 +0200 darwin/amd64

So I think I must be missing something, because (a) neither of these versions have a tagged release version number and (b) they are both the same! go1.1.2 == go1.2 ????

Upon trying to install any version of go from gvm listall, the script hangs here:

Downloading Go source...

...and never installs anything. Any idea what the issue might be?

I forgot to add the 'b' and 'pb' tags when doing a fresh install so now I have reinstall all my gos.

Seems like those flags should be on by default and also in the readme.

When calling "binscripts/gvm-installer $TRAVIS_COMMIT $TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/tmp", travis will checkout the remote master branch and attempt to checkout the commit referring to a pull request which is not yet merged. This results in a build failure.

Sorry about the opinionated subject line. I'm trying to fix up the gvm situation over in Travis land and running into problems. The situation may be best illustrated with an example: https://travis-ci.org/modcloth/sqlutil/builds/7435167

In the before_install folds you should see two gvm install calls, each with an || true to essentially force a 0 exit status. I can't speak to why Travis's gvm installation is being deemed "corrupt".

When I run gvm install with a valid version number that isn't yet installed, I expect gvm to install the version and exit 0, even if it has to "uncorrupt" whatever first, but instead gvm is telling me about a corruption, trying to start an install, and the exiting with ERROR: Couldn't copy source to target folder. Subsequently calling gvm install succeeds.

When I run gvm install with a valid version number that's already installed, I expect gvm to tell me it's already installed and exit 0, but instead gvm tells me it's already installed and exits 1.

Hi! Cool project 👍

I notice you don't mention use on OSX, is it supported? If so, I'm having this issue:

$ gvm install go1
Installing go1...
 * Compiling...
ERROR: Failed to compile
ERROR: Failed to use installed version

Is there a way to turn verbosity up so I can see the full stack trace and figure out what's going on?

The compile shows this:

ERROR: Do not use make.bash to build on Windows. Use make.bat instead.

This is coming from http://golang.org/src/make.bash, perhaps there's a way to make gvm use make.bat? It should be a simple detect and switch, just like the make.bash file's if block.

When one tries to do

gvm use [version X]

and [version X] is not installed, gvm says

Invalid version [version X]

instead of suggesting that the version is perfectly valid, just not installed. This is very misleading.

I haven't seen any documentation on how to install it on a Docker, anyone with Dockerfile (preferably without source commands on the beginning of each line)

$ GCC=clang go get -tags zmq_3_x github.com/alecthomas/gozmq
# github.com/alecthomas/gozmq
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread'
# github.com/alecthomas/gozmq
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'libgcc.a'

MAYBE

export CGO_ENABLED=0

Hey Guys,

Sorry to bug you again, I don't know if it is a real issue or not, and it probably isn't a gvm issue, but when I try to install I get:

➜  ~  gvm install release.r60.3
Downloading Go source...
Installing release.r60.3...
 * Compiling...
 * Installing gb...
Failed to install gb

Any and all help/advice is loved :)

Thanks,

Josh

Hi,

How do you think about the name conflict with Groovy's gvm? Recently I'm interested in this tool but I'm also very dependent on Groovy's gvm (especially in JVM-releated development like android app or gradle plugin), so I cannot try it...

I'm using zsh as my shell, and here's what happens

$ gvm list

gvm gos (installed)

   weekly.2012-03-13

$ gvm use weekly.2012-03-13
gvm_use:5: command not found: ls: aliased to ls --color
ERROR: Invalid version weekly.2012-03-13
$ which ls
ls: aliased to ls --color
$ unalias ls
$ gvm use weekly.2012-03-13
Now using version weekly.2012-03-13

Repro:

Installed gvm

$ bash < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer )
Installed GVM v

Added to my bashrc ala rvm

# gvm
[[ -s "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm"

Get my go

$ gvm install 60.2
Installing version 60.2
 * Downloading...
 * Compiling...

Failed to install version 60.2. See logs in /home/tarun/.gvm/gos/go-60.2/install.log for details

Works if I create the dir

mkdir ~/.gvm/gos

gvm is great for managing user-specific or version-specific install of go, but doesn't support management of the system's version of go (used by default if a user hasn't installed gvm).

to simplify deployment and use of go apps to app-specific VMs or docker containers, where multiple versions likely aren't necessary, it would be nice to be able to install / manage the system version of go (/usr/bin/go). this would also allow a great cross-platform method of installing go, as no OS-specific packages are supported (rpm, apt/deb, etc.).

Hi,

I'm trying to create an unofficial Arch Linux package for gvm.
Where on the system should the various scripts go?
bin/gvm, bin/gvm-prompt and bin/gvmsudo in /usr/bin? Would that do?

The reason I ask is because the included installation script, "gvm-installer" seems to be targeting only installations in users home directory, not system-wide installations.

Instructions, or an install script, for system-wide installations would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Alexander Rødseth

all the checks in ~/.gvm/scripts/gvm-check are checking for binaries that are only available after you download/install the command line tools.

I am brand new to Go (installed it today...), and I see that GVM doesn't install other utilities such as godoc. How do I install them? If I have do an apt-get install golang-stable to get them, then how does GVM help?

$GIT_ROOT is going to be set in this case, but not to the value you are expecting.

As a Go newbie, I am battling to get my workflow right.

I have installed Go 1.2 as per the GVM instructions.

I want to be able to have my Go projects eg. ProjectA and ProjectB in a directory say ~/side_projects.

What I have tried so far is outlined below:

mkdir ProjectA
cd ~/side_projects/ProjectA
gvm pkgset create --local
gvm pkgset use --local

$GOPATH now returns

/home/lee/side_projects/ProjectA:/home/lee/side_projects/ProjectA/.gvm_local/pkgsets/go1.2/local:/home/lee/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.2/global

I then created a hello-world.go and a test-package.go file.

hello-world.go:

package main

import (
    "test_package"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println(test_package.HelloWorld())
}

test-package.go

package test_package

func HelloWorld() string {
    return "Hello world"
}

go run hello-world.go complained so I had to move all the code into a src directory, and then place test_package.go into a directory with the same name, and then things worked as expected

Then I installed Revel via go get github.com/robfig/revel, and the problem is best explained with a screenshot:

Here is /home/lee/side_projects/ProjectA

Here is /home/lee/side_projects/ProjectA/src

The third party packages are now mixed with my own, and now i am pretty confused.

1. Can't the third party packages go into the .gvm-local folder?
2. If Go projects require src and pkg directories, where do I place my application code? Directly in src? I don't want my code sitting in the same directory as external libraries as it currently happening.
3. Where do I place my git repo? Directly in src, or in ProjectA, and add pkg to gitignore? (Assuming I can get the external packages to go into .gvm-local)?

$ gvm cross

Usage: gvm cross [os] [arch]
  os   = linux/darwin/windows
  arch = amd64/386 (arm unsupported)

Why unsupported arm?

The installer adds the line [[ -s "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm" to bashrc.

I use zsh (.zshrc), but the installer doesn't say anything about adding that line to your config file if you aren't using bash.

When an alias has been set for ls that includes the -p parameter GVM will incorrectly try to source the environment file as a directory.

The following output is produced:

$ gvm use tip
bash: /home/jbussdieker/.gvm/environments/tip/: Not a directory
Now using version tip/

This is a great project, and I can see myself using this to vendor my dependencies.

Are there any plans or thoughts around adding .gvmrc support like .rvmrc from RVM? I am working on multiple Go projects at the moment, and auto switching between pkgsets when I switch directories would be fantastic.

Thanks,
-Phil

gvm install 60.3 fails!

Seems its not actually downloading to where its looking for it during compile...

when I type gvm install gradle
it says

Updating Go source...
ERROR: Unrecognized Go version

I deleted the go_cache_dir and run again, this error still there
Debian 7.0 amd64

When trying to install go1.2 using gvm on a linode, compilation failed due to not being able to find predefs.h. A little bit of research led to the solution of running sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib. This should probably be somewhere in the readme.

It would be great if gvm releases were versioned and tagged. This would allow to install gvm predictably and reliably across machines over time.

This would allow users to install gvm without worrying if the master is in a clean and stable state.

Thanks in advance for looking into this.
