Cant execute Golang command

[atlekbai]

I added Input/Output tests and executed command go run main.go. During the test autograding shows

build cache is required, but could not be located: GOCACHE is not defined and neither $XDG_CACHE_HOME nor $HOME are defined

I tried to set $GOCACHE and $HOME environmentals, but it didn't work.

It would be nice if Autograde supported Golang, or at least if the GitHub Classroom team can share example configuration on how to use I/O or run-command tests in Golang.

Does anyone knows if there's some progress on this? I tried doing golang autograding but still not making it work.

Go needs the HOME environmental variable to be set but autograding runs tests with very few env var set, (just PATH and FORCE_COLOR).

You can set HOME by defining it with each Go test command in autograding.json (or the run field in the GH Classroom test setup interface); e.g.

    {
      "name": "Test Go hello world",
      "setup": "",
      "run": "HOME='/home/runner' go run hello-world.go",
      "input": "",
      "output": "",
      "comparison": "included",
      "timeout": 10,
      "points": 5
    },
