* feat: add go-download-base-url input for custom Go distributions
Add support for downloading Go from custom sources such as Microsoft Go
(aka.ms). Users can specify a custom download base URL via the
`go-download-base-url` input or the `GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL` environment
variable (input takes precedence).
When a custom URL is provided, the action skips the GitHub-hosted
manifest and attempts to resolve versions from the custom URL's JSON
listing. If the listing is unavailable (as with aka.ms redirect links),
it falls back to constructing the download URL directly from the
version, platform, and architecture.
Usage:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v6
with:
go-version: '1.25'
go-download-base-url: 'https://aka.ms/golang/release/latest'
Changes:
- action.yml: add go-download-base-url optional input
- installer.ts: add getInfoFromDirectDownload() for URL construction
fallback, thread custom URL through getGo/getInfoFromDist/findMatch
- main.ts: read new input and GO_DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL env var
- setup-go.test.ts: add 12 unit tests for custom URL behavior
- microsoft-validation.yml: add E2E workflow testing Microsoft build of Go
across ubuntu/windows/macos with versions 1.24 and 1.25
- README.md: document new input with Microsoft build of Go examples

* Configure environment to avoid toolchain installs
Force `go` to always use the local toolchain (i.e. the one the one that
shipped with the go command being run) via setting the `GOTOOLCHAIN`
environment variable to `local`[1]:
> When GOTOOLCHAIN is set to local, the go command always runs the
bundled Go toolchain.
This is how things are setup in the official Docker images (e.g.[2], see
also the discussion around that change[3]). The motivation behind this
is to:
* Reduce duplicate work: if the `toolchain` version in `go.mod` was
greated than the `go` version, the version from the `go` directive
would be installed, then Go would detect the `toolchain` version and
additionally install that
* Avoid Unexpected behaviour: if you specify this action runs with some Go
version (e.g. `1.21.0`) but your go.mod contains a `toolchain` or `go`
directive for a newer version (e.g. `1.22.0`) then, without any other
configuration/environment setup, any go commands will be run using go
`1.22.0`
This will be a **breaking change** for some workflows. Given a `go.mod`
like:
module proj
go 1.22.0
Then running any `go` command, e.g. `go mod tidy`, in an environment
where only go versions before `1.22.0` were installed would previously
trigger a toolchain download of Go `1.22.0` and that version being used
to execute the command. With this change the above would error out with
something like:
> go: go.mod requires go >= 1.22.0 (running go 1.21.7;
GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

* Prefer installing version from `toolchain` directive
Prefer this over the version from the `go` directive. Per the docs[1]
> The toolchain line declares a suggested toolchain to use with the
module or workspace
It seems reasonable to use this, since running this action in a
directory containing a `go.mod` (or `go.work`) suggests the user is
wishing to work _with the module or workspace_.

* squash! Configure environment to avoid toolchain installs
Only modify env if `GOTOOLCHAIN` is not set
* squash! Prefer installing version from `toolchain` directive
Avoid installing from `toolchain` if `GOTOOLCHAIN` is `local`, also
better regex for matching toolchain directive
