Attempted to install gopls using the recommended installation method:
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
I should note, this was after attempting to install using mason.nvim. I also uninstalled go via brew and installed using the package installer, but still encountered the issue.
What did you see happen?
go: golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest: module golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest found (v0.18.1), but does not contain package golang.org/x/tools/gopls
What did you expect to see?
Expected to see a successful installation, but encountered this error after every attempt.
I noticed this issue was reported in #59281, but never resolved. I've also seen multiple reports by mason.nvim users that they've encountered this issue—some people had this fixed by unsetting GOOS and GOARCH, but that didn't resolve the issue for me.
