x/pkgsite: Github username (in Capital Case variant) causes package not found on pkg.go.dev

[sven-seyfert]

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc
• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc (Capital Case username)
• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc/singleinstance
• https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc/singleinstance (Capital Case username)

What is your user agent?

• Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

What did you do?

• I created my own (first tryout) go package and published it on GitHub.
  • https://github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc
• I added git tags (v0.4.0) and used git push origin --tags (which shows up on my GitHub page too).
• I have a license (MIT) in the repository.
• I used the proxy command GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/sven-seyfert/[email protected] to address my package for pkg.go.dev.
• I wait more then a day for my package to be visible on pkg.go.dev.

What did you expect to see?

My package singleinstance of github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc should be available on pkg.go.dev.

What did you see instead?

Like in the screenshot: "... could not be found."

What did I recognized?

My GitHub username is Sven-Seyfert as Capital Case. When I tried the different URLs in pkg.go.dev and on proxy.golang.org (https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc/@v/v0.4.0.info) I see no issue when I use the lower case variant of sven-seyfert. But when I use the Capital Case variant for the same request I get "bad request: invalid escaped module path "github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc"".

Can this be the reason for my problem?

Thanks for your help and support, I really appreciate it 🤝 .

No, you just have to use an escaped URL:

• https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/!sven-!seyfert/gomisc/@latest
• https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/!sven-!seyfert/gomisc/@v/list

The proxy definitely has data for the lower-case version as well:

• https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc/@latest
• https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc/@v/list

So this looks like some kind of bug in pkgsite itself.

I'm pretty sure this is #62031. I'll confirm after the fix is deployed.

Ok, I've figured it all out...

• x/pkgsite: packages with go 1.21.0 in go line can't be fetch by pkg.go.dev #62031 was originally preventing any fetching from working, but even after fixing that I was having trouble fetching this module manually, because...
• v0.1.0 lacks any go files
• v0.2.0 was named github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc in the go.mod file (and so must be fetched as such, with the exact casing)
• v0.3.0 was also named github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc, according to the proxy, but the tag in github says github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc in the go.mod file -- did you change the tag?
• v0.4.0 is named github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc

So I've fetch the three valid versions (v0.2.0-v0.4.0). v0.2.0 and v0.3.0 are available with capital 'S': https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Sven-Seyfert/gomisc?tab=versions. v0.4.0 is available with lower-case 's': https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sven-seyfert/gomisc?tab=versions

Thank you very much @findleyr for your investigation and your effort, I appreciate it 🤝 .
You're right with all your findings. I changed the tag v0.3.0. I really just need v0.4.0 and the future upcoming versions.
Since it's my first step into own packages and working with GO, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I really grateful.

One question @findleyr : How can I get rid of the versions v0.2.0 and v0.3.0? I really don't need them.

Best regards
Sven
