cmd/go: confusing go.work version error message #66207
Description
foo$ cat go.work
use .
foo$ cat go.mod
module foo
go 1.21
foo$ go list
go: module . listed in go.work file requires go >= 1.21, but go.work lists go 1.18; to update it:
go work use
This error message is confusing because the string "go1.18" is not present in the input; it is merely the oldest version of Go that supports go.work files.
It would be more helpful to say "go.work implicitly requires go1.18" when there is no go directive.
