Sometimes when you build a Wails application you’ll get this error:
error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.
To disable this on a single build (with a bash-like shell) you can do this:
GOFLAGS="-buildvcs=false" wails dev
Or:
GOFLAGS="-buildvcs=false" wails build
To set that flag once so you don’t have to do this every time you can do this:
go env -w GOFLAGS="-buildvcs=false"
And later if you want to undo it you can just do this:
go env -u GOFLAGS
