戈朗应用程序自动构建版本

Is it possible to increment a minor version number automatically each time a Go app is compiled?

I would like to set a version number inside my program, with an autoincrementing section:

$ myapp -version
MyApp version 0.5.132

Being 0.5 the version number I set, and 132 a value that increments automatically each time the binary is compiled.

Is this possible in Go?

The Go linker (go tool link) has an option to set the value of an uninitialised string variable:

-X importpath.name=value
    Set the value of the string variable in importpath named name to value.
    Note that before Go 1.5 this option took two separate arguments.
    Now it takes one argument split on the first = sign.

As part of your build process, you could set a version string variable using this. You can pass this through the go tool using -ldflags. For example, given the following source file:

package main

import "fmt"

var xyz string

func main() {
    fmt.Println(xyz)
}

Then:

$ go run -ldflags "-X main.xyz=abc" main.go
abc

In order to set main.minversion to the build date and time when building:

go build -ldflags "-X main.minversion=`date -u +.%Y%m%d.%H%M%S`" service.go

If you compile without initializing main.minversion in this way, it will contain the empty string.

I had trouble using the -ldflags parameter when building my mixed command-line app and library project, so I ended up using a Makefile target to generate a Go source file containing my app's version and the build date:

BUILD_DATE := `date +%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M`
VERSIONFILE := cmd/myapp/version.go

gensrc:
    rm -f $(VERSIONFILE)
    @echo "package main" > $(VERSIONFILE)
    @echo "const (" >> $(VERSIONFILE)
    @echo "  VERSION = \"1.0\"" >> $(VERSIONFILE)
    @echo "  BUILD_DATE = \"$(BUILD_DATE)\"" >> $(VERSIONFILE)
    @echo ")" >> $(VERSIONFILE)

In my init() method, I do this:

flag.Usage = func() {
    fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%s version %s\n", os.Args[0], VERSION)
    fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "built %s\n", BUILD_DATE)
    fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "usage:")
    flag.PrintDefaults()
}

If you wanted an atomically-increasing build number instead of a build date, however, you would probably need to create a local file that contained the last build number. Your Makefile would read the file contents into a variable, increment it, insert it in the version.go file instead of the date, and write the new build number back to the file.

to use multi -ldflags:

$ go build -ldflags "-X name1=value1 -X name2=value2" -o path/to/output

On Windows OS given the program below

package main

import "fmt"

var (
    version string
    date    string
)

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("version=%s, date=%s", version, date)
}

You can build using

go build -ldflags "-X main.version=0.0.1 -X main.date=%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%T%time:~0,2%:%time:~3,2%:%time:~6,2%"

Date format assumes your environment echo %date% is Fri 07/22/2016 and echo %time% is 16:21:52.88

Then the output will be: version=0.0.1, date=2016-07-22T16:21:52

Additionally I would like to post a small example how to use git and a makefile:

--- Makefile ----

# This how we want to name the binary output
BINARY=gomake

# These are the values we want to pass for VERSION and BUILD
# git tag 1.0.1
# git commit -am "One more change after the tags"
VERSION=`git describe --tags`
BUILD=`date +%FT%T%z`

# Setup the -ldflags option for go build here, interpolate the variable values
LDFLAGS_f1=-ldflags "-w -s -X main.Version=${VERSION} -X main.Build=${BUILD} -X main.Entry=f1"
LDFLAGS_f2=-ldflags "-w -s -X main.Version=${VERSION} -X main.Build=${BUILD} -X main.Entry=f2"

# Builds the project
build:
    go build ${LDFLAGS_f1} -o ${BINARY}_f1
    go build ${LDFLAGS_f2} -o ${BINARY}_f2

# Installs our project: copies binaries
install:
    go install ${LDFLAGS_f1}

# Cleans our project: deletes binaries
clean:
    if [ -f ${BINARY} ] ; then rm ${BINARY} ; fi

.PHONY: clean install

The make file will create two executables. One is executing function one, the other will take function two as main entry:

package main

import (
        "fmt"
)

var (

        Version string
        Build   string
        Entry   string

        funcs = map[string]func() {
                "f1":functionOne,"f2":functionTwo,
        }

)

func functionOne() {
    fmt.Println("This is function one")
}

func functionTwo() {
    fmt.Println("This is function two")
}

func main() {

        fmt.Println("Version: ", Version)
        fmt.Println("Build Time: ", Build)

    funcs[Entry]()

}

Then just run:

make

You will get:
