Description
go env GOBIN would be helpful to tools beyond the Go toolchain to determine where go install will install a binary.
However, up to go 1.22.4, the go install directory is not explicitely exposed like GOPATH is. Instead GOBIN is exposed with an empty value.
Go version
go version go1.22.4 darwin/arm64
Output of go env in your module/workspace:
GOBIN=''
GOPATH='/Users/gopher/go'What did you do?
$ go help environment | sed -n '/GOBIN/{N;p;}'
GOBIN
The directory where 'go install' will install a command.
$ env | grep GOBIN
$ cat "$(go env GOENV)"
$ go env GOBIN
$ go env | grep GOBIN
GOBIN=''What did you see happen?
See above
What did you expect to see?
$ go env GOPATH
/Users/gopher/go
$ env | grep GOBIN
$ cat "$(go env GOENV)"
$ go env GOBIN
/Users/gopher/go/bin
$ go env | grep GOBIN
GOBIN='/Users/gopher/go/bin'
