Trying Other Go Versions
|
|||
|
|
============================================================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While I generally use the current release of Go, sometimes I need to try a different version. For example, I need to check that all the examples in my [Guide to JSON][2] work with [both the supported releases of Go][3](1.8.6 and 1.9.3 at time of writing) along with go1.10rc1.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I primarily use the current version of Go, updating it when new versions are released. I try out other versions as needed following the methods described in this article.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Trying Betas and Release Candidates[¶][4]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When [go1.8beta2 was released][5], a new tool for trying the beta and release candidates was also released that allowed you to `go get` the beta. It allowed you to easily run the beta alongside your Go installation by getting the beta with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
go get golang.org/x/build/version/go1.8beta2
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This downloads and builds a small program that will act like the `go` tool for that specific version. The full release can then be downloaded and installed with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
go1.8beta2 download
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This downloads the release from [https://golang.org/dl][6] and installs it into `$HOME/sdk` or `%USERPROFILE%\sdk`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now you can use `go1.8beta2` as if it were the normal Go command.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This method works for [all the beta and release candidates][7] released after go1.8beta2.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Trying a Specific Release[¶][8]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While only beta and release candidates are provided, they can easily be adapted to work with any released version. For example, to use go1.9.2:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
package main
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
import (
|
|||
|
|
"golang.org/x/build/version"
|
|||
|
|
)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
func main() {
|
|||
|
|
version.Run("go1.9.2")
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Replace `go1.9.2` with the release you want to run and build/install as usual.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since the program I use to build my [Guide to JSON][9] calls `go` itself (for each example), I build this as `go` and prepend the directory to my `PATH` so it will use this one instead of my normal version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Trying Any Release[¶][10]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This small program can be extended so you can specify the release to use instead of having to maintain binaries for each version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
package main
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
import (
|
|||
|
|
"fmt"
|
|||
|
|
"os"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"golang.org/x/build/version"
|
|||
|
|
)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
func main() {
|
|||
|
|
if len(os.Args) < 2 {
|
|||
|
|
fmt.Printf("USAGE: %v <version> [commands as normal]\n",
|
|||
|
|
os.Args[0])
|
|||
|
|
os.Exit(1)
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
v := os.Args[1]
|
|||
|
|
os.Args = append(os.Args[0:1], os.Args[2:]...)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
version.Run("go" + v)
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have this installed as `gov` and run it like `gov 1.8.6 version`, using the version I want to run.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Trying a Source Build (e.g., tip)[¶][11]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I also use this same infrastructure to manage source builds of Go, such as tip. There’s just a little trick to it:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* use the directory `$HOME/sdk/go<version>` (e.g., `$HOME/sdk/gotip`)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* [build as normal][1]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* `touch $HOME/sdk/go<version>/.unpacked-success` This is an empty file used as a sentinel to indicate the download and unpacking was successful.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(On Windows, replace `$HOME/sdk` with `%USERPROFILE%\sdk`)
|
|||
