Golang Buildkite Plugin

This used to be the home of the GOPATH Checkout Buildkite Plugin. If you’ve received “Failed to checkout plugin golang” errors (#1), please update your pipeline.yml plugin name from golang to gopath-checkout.

A Buildkite plugin for running a command in a docker container with a specific golang version.

The build directory is mounted into the docker container, so artifact uploads work.

Example

You can run go commands against a specific version.

steps:
  - command: go test ./...
    plugins:
      - golang#v2.0.0:
          version: 1.13.8
          import: github.com/buildkite/agent

You can pass in additional environment variables:

steps:
  - command: go build .
    plugins:
      - golang#v2.0.0:
          version: 1.13.8
          import: github.com/buildkite/agent
          environment:
            - GOOS=darwin
            - GOARCH=amd64

Configuration

import(required)

environment (optional)
