Can you run :15verbose GoInstallBinaries and provide its output. If you don't get an error, then run :15verbose GoUpdateBinaries instead.

edit: fixed the alternative command to include the leading :.

[pyro2927]

Having the same issue. @bhcleek, is there an easy way to capture the output from :15verbose GoInstallBinaries? Right now it looks like I need to hold spacebar to keep scrolling with --More--, and it's pages upon pages of code.

[bhcleek]

It's going to be a lot of code. You can probably use a lower verbosity if needed. Alternatively, just install one of the binaries needed (e.g. 15verbose GoInstallBinaries gogetdoc).

@bhcleek does this help?

Error installing golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest: go: cannot find main module; see 'go help modules'

After reading this I tried running go get -v golang.org/x/tools/gopls, which succeeded, and now everything seems to work.

@pyro2927 it looks like you're using go 1.11. If you'll update, I believe your problem will disappear. The error that @sydnash reported is different than what you're seeing.

[sydnash]

with :15verbose GoInstallBinaries, there is no error reported.

Getting the same errors...

I had all the same issues. I had installed golang via homebrew. Running go install commands via bash turned up an error in go. I was able to upgrade golang via homebrew then the issues went away.

Turns out old version of Golang was the issue.
