Why Does My `go version` Command Show an Old Version After Upgrading to Go 1.8?

Go Version Command Displaying Old Version After Upgrade to 1.8

The issue raised here involves an inconsistency between the installed Go version and the version reported by the go version command after upgrading to Go 1.8.

Despite successful installation of Go 1.8, the terminal persistently reports version 1.7.5. The provided .bashrc configuration appears to have no apparent errors.

Troubleshooting steps taken include:

• Verifying the installed version using the VERSION file in /usr/local/go/bin.
• Restarting the terminal and rebooting the computer.
• Checking IDE (Webstorm) which correctly recognizes Go 1.8.
• Confirming the issue by attempting to use the NextResultSet() function introduced in Go 1.8.

Solution

The suggested solution involves updating Go via Homebrew. By running the commands:

brew update
brew upgrade golang

it prompts Homebrew to obtain the latest version of the Go package and install it. This process effectively resolved the issue.
