Function resolveVersion

pkg/toolinstall/resolver.go:205–217

resolveVersion determines the latest version for a package.

(ctx context.Context, registry *Registry, pkg *Package)

// resolveVersion determines the latest version for a package.
func resolveVersion(ctx context.Context, registry *Registry, pkg *Package) (string, error) {
	// Check for a version_filter with a "startsWith" prefix (multi-module repos).
	if prefix := extractVersionPrefix(pkg.VersionFilter); prefix != "" {
		return registry.latestVersionFiltered(ctx, pkg.RepoOwner, pkg.RepoName, prefix)
	}

	// For go types, use "latest" and let go install resolve it.
	if pkg.IsGoPackage() {
		return "latest", nil
	}

	return registry.latestVersion(ctx, pkg.RepoOwner, pkg.RepoName)
}

// extractVersionPrefix parses an aqua version_filter expression like
// 'Version startsWith "gopls/"' and returns the prefix string.
