goose -version always prints (devel)

[alebcay]

Running goose -version always prints goose version: (devel). The expectation is that the actual version of the program would be printed (e.g. v3.14.0). This behavior has been observed both in the binaries acquired via GitHub Releases and also when building from source.

Possibly relevant: golang/go#29228

Thanks for the report, indeed the pre-built binaries don't get the correct version, let's fix that!

If you go install ..., it should work correctly however.

$ go install github.com/pressly/goose/v3/cmd/goose@latest
$ goose --version                                        
goose version: v3.14.0

A regression in v3.14.0, worked okay in v3.13.4 .. I know the issue, will fix it up. Sorry about that!

$ curl -fsSL \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pressly/goose/master/install.sh |\
    GOOSE_INSTALL=$HOME/.goose sh -s v3.13.4
$HOME/.goose/bin/goose --version
goose version: v3.13.4

###

$ curl -fsSL \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pressly/goose/master/install.sh |\
    GOOSE_INSTALL=$HOME/.goose sh -s v3.14.0
$HOME/.goose/bin/goose --version
goose version: (devel)

Alright, this should be fixed.

go install

$ go install github.com/pressly/goose/v3/cmd/goose@latest
$ goose --version
goose version: v3.15.0

installation script (GitHub pre-built binary)

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pressly/goose/master/install.sh | sudo sh -s
Goose was installed successfully to /usr/local/bin/goose
Run 'goose --help' to get started
$ goose --version
goose version: v3.15.0

Let me know if you have other issues.

[alebcay]

Thanks for the quick response! Confirmed that I can see the version when using go install, from prebuilt binary, or when building from source (setting main.version via linker flags).

Thank you for flagging it, glad that's fixed 😅 .

Closing, but if anyone continues to experience an issue drop a comment or open another issue.
