Troubleshooting

Mise Go Tools Installation Failure (2026-02-14)

Symptoms

go: golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest: GOPROXY list is not the empty string, but contains no entries
go: github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.8.0: GOPROXY list is not the empty string, but contains no entries
mise ERROR go failed

Root Causes

  1. Corrupted Go 1.23.12 installation via mise

    • Missing ~/.local/share/mise/installs/go/1.23.12/src/ directory
    • Missing go.env file containing default GOPROXY/GOSUMDB settings
    • Caused cascading failures: empty GOPROXY → download failures → missing stdlib packages

  2. Invalid golangci-lint version

    • .config/mise.toml specified v2.8.0 (non-existent tag)
    • Valid versions use format like v1.64.8 (major version 1, not 2)

Solution

  1. Reinstall corrupted Go

    mise uninstall go@1.23.12
mise install go@1.23

  2. Fix golangci-lint version

    # .config/mise.toml
"go:github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint" = "latest"  # was "v2.8.0"

  3. Verify defaults restored

    mise exec -- go env GOPROXY GOSUMDB
# Should output:
# https://proxy.golang.org,direct
# sum.golang.org

Key Insights

  • Mise Go installations include go.env with defaults (GOPROXY, GOSUMDB, GOTOOLCHAIN)
  • Corrupted Go installations manifest as "not in std" errors for stdlib packages
  • go env GOPROXY returning empty string indicates broken installation, not config issue
  • Global Go config (~/Library/Application Support/go/env) was unaffected
  • Adding GOPROXY/GOSUMDB to mise.toml is unnecessary workaround for broken installation

Version Notes

  • goimports@latest (v0.41.0) requires Go 1.24+
  • Mise automatically downloads Go 1.24.12 for tools requiring it
  • golangci-lint latest version at time of fix: v1.64.8
