x/tools/gopls: nvim with go1.22 stopped working

[op]

What did you do?

I changed go.mod in a project to use go 1.22.2 and now the LSP integration with gopls for neovim stopped working.

Running GO111MODULE=off nvim makes gopls happy again.

What did you expect to see?

References to sources. 👯

What did you see instead?

go: go1.21.1

[seankhliao]

have you tried building gopls with go1.22.2?

[op]

Sorry, my bad. Within nvim, mason had its own version of gopls (v0.11). Running :MasonInstall gopls fixed this for me.

[arodland]

So with auto toolchain, is this going to be a problem every time you open up a codebase that declares a go version newer than the system-wide go that you built gopls with? Is there any way it could at least provide a more informative error?

[op]

@arodland the version of the compiler didn't matter in this case. Adding a minimum version check sounds like a good idea. That logic might need to be added in the editor though. I'll look into fixing that for nvim. Hopefully others have upgraded already. gopls v0.11 came out during Go 1.19.
