orchestrion/all/v2 v2.7.0 requires go1.25

[emetsger]

Brief background

Our projects use orchestrion to instrument our code during our CI test phase so test results are emitted to Datadog.

What is relevant here is that our project go.mod has no direct or transitive dependencies on any of the following:

• github.com/DataDog/orchestrion
• github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/v2

In our project, Datadog instrumentation is accomplished with the test-visibility GHA:

      - name: Configure Datadog Test Optimization
        uses: datadog/test-visibility-github-action@v2
        with:
          languages: go
          api_key: ${{secrets.DD_API_KEY}}
          site: datadoghq.com

Our project go.mod is on Go 1.24.

Note: Just want to acknowledge there are drawbacks to this instrumentation approach on our project's side, namely that the instrumentation is modifying our dependency graph: tests are not being executed against the runtime dependency graph, they are executing against the instrumented graph.

Behavior

Until recently the action was resolving orchestrion/all/v2 v2.6.0, but it appears orchestrion/all/v2 v2.7.0 has been released, which requires go1.25.

The action ends up bailing with:

install_test_visibility.sh: OK
... <snip> ...
go: github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/orchestrion/all/v2@v2.7.0 requires go >= 1.25.0 (running go 1.24.8; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)
ensuring required integrations in "/runner/_work/<redacted>/<redacted>/go.mod": go get github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/orchestrion/all/v2@v2.7.0: exit status 1
Error: Orchestrion pin failed.

The desired behavior would be to not require us to update our project's go.mod to participate in the test instrumentation. Is this possible? Having instability in the CI pipeline- especially when pinned to a major version of the GHA- is unexpected/undesirable.

Thanks @emetsger for reaching out. This is a consequence of our support policy, aligned with Go's official policy too.

Unfortunately, as long as you are using Orchestrion with the pin generated by default, github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/orchestrion/all/v2 v2.7.0 is the telltale, you are going to pull dd-trace-go.

You should run orchestrion pin in your repository and commit the resulting orchestrion.tool.go after updating it to look like this:

// This file was created by `orchestrion pin`, and is used to ensure the
// `go.mod` file contains the necessary entries to ensure repeatable builds when
// using `orchestrion`. It is also used to set up which integrations are enabled.

//go:build tools

//go:generate go run github.com/DataDog/orchestrion pin -generate

package tools

// Imports in this file determine which tracer integrations are enabled in
// orchestrion. New integrations can be automatically discovered by running
// `orchestrion pin` again. You can also manually add new imports here to
// enable additional integrations. When doing so, you can run `orchestrion pin`
// to make sure manually added integrations are valid (i.e, the imported package
// includes a valid `orchestrion.yml` file).
import (
        // Ensures `orchestrion` is present in `go.mod` so that builds are repeatable.
        // Do not remove.
        _ "github.com/DataDog/orchestrion" // integration
)

The suggestion above won't work because you still need to pull dd-trace-go. We are looking into this from a different point of view.

Thanks @darccio for the quick response and taking a deeper look.

From my perspective, we would be happy with a solution that puts the breaking (to us) change in our control - e.g. bumping the major for the github action, or as a parameter to the github action.

Really appreciate you and your team's consideration!

Hi @emetsger a new version of the datadog/test-visibility-github-action github action has been released, this version include the changes from the DataDog/test-visibility-github-action#60 PR that should fix your issue.

[darccio]

@emetsger Closing the issue. Please ping us if @tonyredondo's update didn't fix the issue for you.
