x/website: Incorrect tar instructions for Linux download

[jgeiger-trane]

It seems that the code to generate the CLI for the file that was downloaded is wrong and using a possibly hard coded version number.

When a user downloads the file, the instructions should return the instructions to install/unpack the file.

What did you do?

Downloaded Go 1.15.2

https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.15.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

What did you expect to see?

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.15.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

What did you see instead?

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.14.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Already fixed (but looks like not deployed) in #41232

I'm not sure how CI/CD works for different regions for the website, but the next day my fix got approved-merged it had been deployed and I've seen it working.
Currently, everything is ok for me in chrome/firefox/safari. Just in case, have you tried clearing the cache in your browser?

NVM, looks like your issue is valid and it's not because of the deployment.
Previously I used Win/macOS for the development and missed it. Now I was able to reproduce it on my Linux VM and it looks like the script is not executed when the page loads the Linux tab.
Gonna work on that, thanks @jgeiger-trane

Change https://golang.org/cl/256318 mentions this issue: doc/install: fixed how JS defines browser OS

Created an issue #41537 which is the reason why Linux instructions aren't updating.
And created a PR that should solve it.

Thanks for looking into this @ipriver. The underlying problem is a problem in the OS detection code.

Let's close this as duplicate of #41232, and use #41537 to track this issue.
