Problem

The GoReleaser build was failing with the error:

build failed: build for task-wizard does not contain a main function
Learn more at https://goreleaser.com/errors/no-main

This occurred because GoReleaser was looking for the Go application's main package in the repository root directory, but the actual application code resides in the apiserver/ subdirectory.

Solution

Fixed the .goreleaser.yaml configuration to correctly specify where the Go application is located:

  1. Added dir: apiserver to the builds configuration to tell GoReleaser where to find the main package
  2. Updated the config file path in the archives section from config/config.yaml to apiserver/config/config.yaml to match the actual file location
  3. Added .gitignore to exclude the dist/ directory containing build artifacts

Changes

builds:
- dir: apiserver  # <- Added this line
  env:
  - CGO_ENABLED=0
  ...
archives:
  ...
  files:
  - src: "apiserver/config/config.yaml"  # <- Updated path
    dst: "config/config.yaml"

Testing

Successfully tested locally with:

goreleaser build --clean --snapshot --single-target

The build now completes successfully and produces a working 20MB binary for all target platforms (Linux/Darwin, amd64/arm64/armv6/armv7).
