Root Cause

A module dependency requires a newer version of Go than what is installed.

模块依赖需要比已安装版本更新的 Go 版本。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Upgrade your Go installation to a compatible version. 
    Download and install Go 1.22 or later from golang.org/dl/.
  2. 80% success Use a older version of the module that supports your Go version. 
    Run 'go list -m -versions github.com/example/mod' and downgrade to an older version in go.mod.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Setting GOTOOLCHAIN to force using an older version. 70% fail

    GOTOOLCHAIN only affects the toolchain selection; if the module requires a newer Go, it won't compile.

  2. Removing the go directive from the dependency's go.mod. 100% fail

    You cannot modify third-party modules; the requirement is enforced.
