Error on 'make run'

Grafana Developers & API

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

(grafana) 11.1.0-pre (for darwin/arm64)
macos 14.3
go 1.22.2 (I had previously installed 1.11.x and tried to uninstall it using go docs but am not positive I deleted everything necessary bc there seemed to be some files under $HOME/go)

  • What are you trying to achieve?

Trying to run the ‘make’ commands, I wanted to build grafana locally (on macos) in order to complete and test a pr (frontend)

  • How are you trying to achieve it?

completed the steps documented on grafana/contribute/developer-guide.md at main · grafana/grafana · GitHub
(up through Build Grafana > Backend)
but these 2 commands fail with similar errors:

make lefthook-install
and
make run

  • What happened?

this error occurs (for make run)
(re)installing /Users/carolchung/go/bin/bra-v0.0.0-20200517080246-1e3013ecaff8 build flag -mod=mod only valid when using modules make: *** [/Users/carolchung/go/bin/bra-v0.0.0-20200517080246-1e3013ecaff8] Error 1

also this error occurs (for make lefthook-install)

./scripts/cleanup-husky.sh
(re)installing /Users/carolchung/go/bin/lefthook-v1.4.8
build flag -mod=mod only valid when using modules
make: *** [/Users/carolchung/go/bin/lefthook-v1.4.8] Error 1
  • What did you expect to happen?

I thought it should build and start running the server…

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

I am wondering if there is an issue where my old installation of go was not cleaned up properly. I will paste the results of running go env below in case that is the issue. I tried to delete my ~HOME/go folder in case that was causing issues but the same errors seem to persist

welcome @cch5ng

why are you opting to install grafana with this method, are you doing some custom development in grafana?

hi, thanks. I wanted to volunteer as a contributor. there was an open issue I was looking at to work on. is it better if I go through docker or another method than the manual way? I was worried something might be wrong with my go installation (or gcc)… is this still the correct place to post my questions?
