Specify Go version for go.mod file

I am deploying an application through Heroku. I do git push heroku master

And I get this error:

remote: Compressing source files... done.
remote: Building source:
remote:
remote: -----> Go app detected
remote: -----> Fetching stdlib.sh.v8... done
remote: ----->

remote:

remote:
remote: !       Push rejected to autoattack.

I think it's a problem with the new Go version and for this reason I want to use a previous one.

This is my go.mod file:

module go-getting-started

go 1.12

...

I tried to change go 1.12 to go 1.11 but it doesn't work.

You could add a directive // +heroku goVersion go1.11 in your go.mod file.

module somemodule

// +heroku goVersion go1.11
go 1.11

require (
    // ...
)

Then it should look like this.

remote:        Detected go modules via go.mod
remote: ----->
remote:        Detected Module Name: somemodule
remote: ----->
remote: -----> New Go Version, clearing old cache
remote: -----> Installing go1.11

Documentation: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-go#go-module-specifics

Go Module Specifics

You can specify specific package spec(s) via the go.mod file's // +heroku install directive (see below).

// +heroku goVersion <version>: the major version of go you would like Heroku to use when compiling your code. If not specified this defaults to the buildpack's [DefaultVersion].

You can set the Go version to be used by adding a GOVERSION environment variable. You can do this on the Heroku Settings page of your project.

You may set the previous (working) revision by adding GOVERSION=go1.12.6.

This is documented at Heroku Go Support: Go versions:

If you need to select a specific minor revision (e.x. go1.8.7) for any reason you will need to hand edit the appropriate metadata file or set the $GOVERSION environment variable...
