x/pkgsite: go-source meta tag information is not automatically updated if it changes for an existing module version

[changkun]

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/clipboard

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.212 Safari/537.36

What did you do?

The vanity URL returned an incorrect address previously, the newly released version cannot be updated to the sum db and the document page failed to synchronize with a newly released version (0.4.6).

What did you expect to see?

All released versions are shown and can be fetched via go get

What did you see instead?

v0.4.5 and v0.4.6 are not showing on the pkgsite, and go get failed on 0.4.5

https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/clipboard currently shows v0.4.6 for me. Is that what you were looking for?

[changkun]

Interesting, but the 0.4.5 is not included (still). Here is another which does not update the repository link on the right side of the page:

https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/hotkey

[julieqiu]

It looks like https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/clipboard@v0.4.5 and https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/hotkey@v0.1.1 have been updated.

[changkun]

@julieqiu No. The problem remains exist. We have many other projects and all suffering the problem (still):

• https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/code2img
• https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/redir
• https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/tgstore
• https://pkg.go.dev/golang.design/x/mainthread
• ...

The issue indicates that the database is neither fetching the real-time vanity URL information nor updates the information regularly.

@changkun thanks for following up. You are correct that once we fetch a module version, we do not refetch that information again. Since all of the modules currently exist in our database, the source information will not be re-updated. I'll reopen this issue.
