I have this go.mod file:

module github.com/channelmeter/err-id-checker

go 1.12

my go version is:

go version go1.12.10 linux/amd64


my imports just look like this:

package main

import (
 "bufio"
 "fmt"
 "io/ioutil"
 "log"
 "os"
 "path/filepath"
 "regexp"
 "strings"
 "sync"
)

but when I run 

go run .

I get this horrendous error that makes no sense:

# math/bits
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# unicode
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# internal/race
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# unicode/utf8
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# runtime/internal/sys
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# sync/atomic
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# runtime/internal/atomic
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"
# internal/cpu
compile: version "go1.13.7" does not match go tool version "go1.12.10"


excuse my language but what the fuck is it doing? anyone know? I am on the right go version and my go.mod file requires the same go version.

From https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22814:

"The error is telling you that you have a weird mix of Go versions on top of one another, or mixed up together in your $PATH."
