Hey Pants Team, looking for some help debugging an issue with a go project with pants

2.11.0

. I recently upgraded my go version

1.17->1.18

and when running Pants I'm seeing this error:

BinaryNotFoundError: Cannot find a `go` binary with the expected version of 1.18 (set by `[golang].expected_version`).

Found these `go` binaries, but they had different versions:

  * /usr/local/bin/go: 1.17

To fix, please install the expected version (<https://golang.org/doc/install>) and ensure that it is discoverable via the option `[golang].go_search_paths`, or change `[golang].expected_version`.

When inspecting the go version it seems to be correct

$/usr/local/bin/go version
go version go1.18.2 darwin/amd64

Not sure if it's pants related at all but any help is appreciated

simply not good UX 😕 I fixed, but it's not in 2.11 https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/15306

but I'm not sure what I would change

golang.expected_version

to as it seems to be correct (1.18 which is installed) curious about this log line for the binary

* /usr/local/bin/go: 1.17

Pants is reporting

1.17

when the binary is

1.18

. Maybe I'm missing something else?

ohhhhh I see. Try

rm -rf .pids

that fixed it! Thank you @hundreds-father-404 that solution is totally okay if we see this again we'll start by nuking that directory first
