Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14342]

install go from apt-get install golang

$ go version
go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64

go build
go build command-line-arguments: read |0: interrupted system call

However, it cloud work without error sometimes

[stehufntdev]

Thanks for reporting the issue. We investigated this locally and it is caused by missing support for restartable system calls (i.e. SA_RESTART flag).

Please give us feedback on the uservoice page so we can prioritize.

@stehufntdev the repo readme says "This repo is for the reporting of issues found within and when using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows", and you are asking us to go to UserVoice? Then what is the point of reporting it here?

[aseering]

@mvadu -- Github is good at capturing and discussing technical information about a bug or feature request. But there are many (I'm guessing at least hundreds if not thousands?) of people reporting bugs or requesting features or (etc) against WSL. I've seen bug trackers where bugs for popular issues get tons of "me too!"'s, and it's a real pain to read through all of those comments to figure out what the actual bug is, find the latest updates from the people who are actually debugging it, etc. So the important bugs actually become more annoying to fix.

I think Microsoft is trying to differentiate between technical issues and use cases. Your report is both -- "go build is an important command for developing Go software" is a use case; "go build doesn't work because of lack of SA_RESTART support" is a technical issue. So it's useful to have it in both places.

[mvadu]

@aseering I did create a new user voice topic for this as well.

[simonbuchan]

Also happens with github's hub command (written in go). Since that's recommended to be aliased to git, this can hit pretty often!

[RobWC]

+1

[technowar]

@simonbuchan, if it annoys you, use brew or Ruby's version. The latter isn't recommended.

Anyways, any updates on this?

[tg123]

fixed in 14905
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/release_notes

works fine now

[retorquere]

How do I get 14905 on my system?

[stehufntdev]

14905 is a Windows insider build, to get that on your system you need to enroll the machine in the Windows insider program.

[sleaze]

What if we don't want to opt into full telemetry? :s

[MikeCook9994]

You don't get windows insider. Windows insider isn't for you to get builds and fixes early. It's to get information about their new builds.

[aseering]

@MikeCook9994 -- could you provide a reference for that statement? I install Insider builds from here on a regular basis: https://insider.windows.com/

[cheynewallace]

Is there any indication as to when this 14905 build will be generally available? I am trying to move some of my build operations from Mac to Windows and this has completely blocked me as I cannot go build from bash. I'd prefer to not have to enroll in some insiders program and just use the stable release.

[benhillis]

The Windows 10 Creators update which is due early 2017.

[ausrasul]

I got this problem right after I modified files in Bash FROM WIndows C:/Users/myself/AppData/loca/lxss/

I cloned my project again on another directory and now it works. Will edit files via ssh from now on.

Update: Forget what I wrote, I got the error again. only with Golang "compile" tool.

[ausrasul]

@cheynewallace I'm running Stable, having the same problem here.

[robbiev]

I read somewhere that go 1.6.x might work and indeed, 1.6.4 does work for me. More recent versions of go don't work.

[Zanndorin]

I can confirm that go 1.6.4 works

thank you @robbiev

[sunilmut]

@robbiev - Thanks for the post. Can you please provide more details on which version of go is not working and detailed repro steps?

[stehufntdev]

@mrbeskin can you please let us know which Windows build you are running? There is a known issue preventing go from working in the Anniversary update which has been fixed for insider builds.

[mrbeskin]

@stehufntdev Sorry, deleted my comment before I saw there was a reply . . . I realized I was on the Anniversary update. I am working on getting my hands on the latest available build and I will test there. Thank you for your reply.

[stehufntdev]

No worries, thanks for the confirmation! Please let us know if you see any issues for insider builds.

[cweeks12]

Is there any indication of when this build is going to be available generally? I just ran into this issue in my Go development

[benhillis]

@cweeks12 - Creator's update is due soon. I don't have an exact date but I think April or early May.

[fraklo]

Not sure if it's been noted, but I get the same issue when trying to run
go run test.go
if however I run
go run ./*
or even go up a directory and run
go run test_dir/*
The file runs.

[JamieSinn]

This issue is still persisting.

[sunilmut]

@fraklo and @JamieSinn - I tried this simple example https://gobyexample.com/reading-files and it worked fine for me. I was able to run the file using the command go run test.go. I am running go version 1.6.2. This was on Insiders build 16215. If the issue persists for you, please include the Windows build that you are running (output of the ver command) and an strace strace -o <strace_file> -ff <failing_cmd>

$go version
go version go1.6.2 linux/amd64

[JamieSinn]

I am using go 1.8, I have not used an insider's build.
Will grab stack traces soon.

[sunilmut]

@JamieSinn - Ok, thanks. Please also post your Windows version (using the ver CMD) and full repro steps.

[kanonji]

I tried https://gobyexample.com/reading-files and not worked.

$ go run reading-files.go
go build command-line-arguments: /home/kanonji/local/stock/go1.8.3.linux-amd64/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/compile: read |0: interrupted system call

$ cat go-run-reading-files-go.sh
#!/bin/sh
go run reading-files.go

$ strace -ff -o straced/go-run-reading-files-go ./go-run-reading-files-go.sh
go build command-line-arguments: /home/kanonji/local/stock/go1.8.3.linux-amd64/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link: read |0: interrupted system call

strace generates 20 files. Do you need all files or maybe only last one?

$ go version
go version go1.8.3 linux/amd64

The OP here was related to restartable system calls and was addressed in 14905 and by extension Creators Update 15063.
