Thanks for using Wails and reporting this.

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce this, neither with go 1.18.0 nor with go 1.18.6. What's your exact go version? Have you tried cleaning your go cache with go clean -modcache?

[sean220]

after go clean -modcache,it still reports the same error，the log is as follows
go1.18 darwin/amd64

[leaanthony]

When reporting bugs, please give the output of wails doctor as the template requests. Looking at the logs, you are not using Go 1.18 or above.

[sean220]

This is a failure to install the wails cli, so I can't execute the [wails doctor] command at all. I just tried to upgrade golang to 1.19, and the error is still there. Since the go install command has nothing to do with the mod configuration of the project, is there a problem with dependencies?

From the direct error message in the log, is it related to golang.org/x/exp?

[stffabi]

Could you post your 'go env' output?

[stffabi]

I can reproduce it when using go install -mod=readonly github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest which seems to be an issue with Go golang/go#54908

@sean220 do you probably use GOFLAGS=-mod=readonly in your environment?

Thanks, indeed caused by GOFLAGS,it works.

[stffabi]

Great that it works for you.

I'm closing this issue, because it's beyond our control and should get fixed with golang/go#54908
