Seems you have removed the matrix test, which was important as we have had issues where tests failed on one specific OS before. Version not so much but it's nice to have

Question

[arran4]

@brenank This seems to be the manifests file it uses: https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json

https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/74d3ad35e25603a981b7fed05ea4103d03cb7bbb/versions-manifest.json#L3108

"version": "1.13.15",

Should work that's there.

(As per the go.mod file.)

The latest 14 is:

    "version": "1.14.15",

So let's try that. I suspect something is wrong with the action. I feel like these should be working.

Some do seem to work

Interesting! I wonder what that case would be.

Alright made some adjustments based of the feedback. Learned a bit about supporting older versions of go, and dropped the go.mod/package changes.

The reason the build was failing was github recently introduced macos-14 which runs on the ARM64 architecture. Only later versions of go in actions/go-versions have this go binary. Changing the tests to pin to macos-13 solves the issue.

Thanks. Great detective work!

LGTM. I bet you macos-13 breaks again at some point in the future. Will probably have to consider adding a if step. I will have to add more to the contributing.md file at some point. Partial contents can be misleading
