Version command broke in 0.14.0

Confused with what happens with go install vs. the building in the CI workflow and the Dockerfile that explicitly add the template variable, but I am assuming that https://github.com/plexsystems/konstraint/blob/main/internal/commands/default.go#L23 does not get populated without a default during go install github.com/plexsystems/konstraint@latest.

Correct. Using go install won't provide a version because the version is set during CI.

[artis3n]

Ah so this is intentional? Hard to know when to update if you miss the release notifications from GitHub.

[jpreese]

Unless I'm mistaken, it's not possible to set a version when using go install. This is the tradeoff between using a pre-built binary or doing it from Go.

[artis3n]

That is my understanding too. So your recommended approach is to use the Docker container? If so my suggestion would be to highlight that more directly in the README, above the go install.

[artis3n]

It is just the version command, not a big deal. Just want to better understand y'all's desire for the project

[jpreese]

There really isn't a recommended approach, just whatever is convenient for the end user. I think it's pretty accepted that using a go install flow doesn't provide versioning/commit/date details of the build, but is very convenient to use.

Makes sense - my lack of familiarity with publishing go projects, it seems.
