Status: RESOLVED (January 30, 2026)

Summary

The nightly build failed during the GoReleaser release step while attempting to cross-compile for macOS.

Failure details

Run link: GitHub Actions run

Relevant log excerpt:

release failed after 4m19s
error=
  build failed: exit status 1: go: downloading github.com/gin-gonic/gin v1.11.0
  info: zig can provide libc for related target x86_64-macos.11-none
target=darwin_amd64_v1
The process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/goreleaser-action/2.13.3/x64/goreleaser'
failed with exit code 1

Root cause

GoReleaser failed while cross-compiling the darwin_amd64_v1 target using Zig to provide libc. The nightly workflow configures Zig for cross-compilation, so the failure is likely tied to macOS toolchain compatibility or dependencies.

  • Ensure go.mod includes all platform-specific dependencies needed for macOS.
  • Confirm Zig is installed and available in the runner environment.
  • Update .goreleaser.yml to explicitly enable Zig for darwin builds.
  • If macOS builds are not required, remove darwin targets from the build matrix.
  • Review detailed logs for a specific Go or Zig error to pinpoint the failing package or build step.

Resolution

Fixed by updating .goreleaser.yml to properly configure Zig toolchain for macOS cross-compilation and ensuring all platform-specific dependencies are available.
