Hello, thank you for the bug report!

I'm confused by this error because I don't see any build comments in that file. Line 11 is an import of a package that also does not appear to have buildcomments.

I tried go install and it works for me. Which version of Go are you running, and on which OS/arch ?

kubernetes 1.20 gitlab runner, ubuntu 18.04, golang 1.17.9

I tried this and it installed properly without any errors.

$ docker run -ti golang:1.17.9 go install gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest

It sounds like the error is described in this issue: golang/go#51436

And this does reproduce it:

$ docker run -ti golang:1.16.9 go install gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest

Both Go1.16 and Go1.17 are past their EOL. The only supported Go versions are 1.21 and 1.20. I think the fix is to upgrade your version of Go.
