terraform-plugin-go version

main branch

Use cases

Following the Go support policy and given the ecosystem availability and stability of the latest Go minor version, it's time to upgrade. This will ensure that this project can use recent improvements to the Go runtime, standard library functionality, and continue to receive security updates

Proposal

  • Run the following commands to upgrade the Go module files and remove deprecated syntax such as //+build:
go mod edit -go=1.17
go mod tidy
go fix
  • Ensure any GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/*.yml) use 1.18 in place of any 1.17 and 1.17 in place of any 1.16 or earlier
  • Ensure the README or any Contributing documentation notes the Go 1.17 expected minimum
  • (Not applicable to all projects) Ensure the .go-version is at least 1.17 or later
  • Enable the tenv linter in .golangci.yml and remediate any issues.
