upgrade golang to 1.1.5 in vscode not showing

[Dr. Lincy Jim]

Hi,

My os is windows 10 on which i have installed golang1.16 andd the version of golang on my vscode is1.13
but since I am using my laptop for work ,i have been asked to upgrade from 1.13 to 1.15
I did the following steps in terminal of vscode-ubuntu
$ sudo wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.15.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.15.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ go version

still it shows version 1.13

kindly guide
thanking in advance

You say you are using Windows 10 but the commands you showed us makes it clear you are using Go in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) rather than native Windows 10. I mention this because it is an important detail.

You modify the PATH env var in your current shell but then run `source ~/.bashrc`. If your ~/.bashrc modifies the PATH env var your manual edit will probably have no effect. What does `which -a go` output? It seems likely that you have more than one installation of the Go toolchain with the 1.13 version being some place other than /usr/local/go/bin.

Hi Kurtis,

Yes I am using Go in WSL(Sorry I forgot to mention it)

go 1.13 version is in Networks 

\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\lincy\go

but the 1.15 version is in  Networks  \\wsl$\Ubuntu\user\local (go 1.15 has been extracted here)

Should i manually copy the go 15 folder and place it where go 13 is?

In Vscode at the bottom of the  window it shows go 1.13? how do I change it to go 1.15

kindly guide

thanking in advance

This is really a question for your whomever told you to upgrade from Go 1.13 to 1.15. We have no idea why you were told to upgrade. Or who told you to do the upgrade. Presumably it was the IT department responsible for the computers you use at your $dayjob.

I'll start by pointing out that you did not show us the output of `which -a go`. Nonetheless, the information you did provide implies you have the WSL equivalent of `\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\lincy\go` (version 1.13) in your PATH ahead of `\\wsl$\Ubuntu\user\local` (version 1.15). Perhaps you should just delete your personal copy of the Go toolchain installed in `\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\lincy\go`. But, again, not knowing anything about your $dayjob computer environment it might also be the case that you should have installed the new version of Go in your personal directory rather than /usr/local/.

Hi Kurtis,

I reinstalled vscode,ubuntu and wsl as the cache kept holding onto previous installations of go.

Now it correctly shows go 15 at the bottom of the vscode window.

I typed 'which-a go'

now it shows usr/local/go/bin/go

Now the issue has been resolved.Thanks again.
