Building with Go 1.20.1: flag provided but not defined: -i

[penkovski]

It seems that the watcher can no longer be used with the newest version of Go 1.20.1

The problem is that up until now the -i flag was deprecated and using it gave a warning, but the watcher was successfully building the binary.

From Go 1.20.1 the watcher no longer works, because using the -i flag returns an error, not a warning:

myservice  | flag provided but not defined: -i
myservice  | usage: go build [-o output] [build flags] [packages]
myservice  | Run 'go help build' for details.
myservice  | A build error occurred. Please update your code...

Can you please update the code or would you accept a PR that does that? Thank you!

Does someone know of a alternative similar to the go-watcher which is maintained and supports new Go versions?

I've ended up moving to https://github.com/bokwoon95/wgo because of this. Almost a drop in replacement for my use case.
