docker run hairyhenderson/gomplate --version doesn't print version

[yizhiheng]

docker run hairyhenderson/gomplate --version only prints:

gomplate version

there's no actual version number...😢

Thanks for logging this @yizhiheng!

I think this was broken in v2.2.0, and fixed in v2.3.0:

$ docker run --rm hairyhenderson/gomplate:v2.1.0 --version
gomplate version 2.1.0
$ docker run --rm hairyhenderson/gomplate:v2.2.0 --version
gomplate version 
$ docker run --rm hairyhenderson/gomplate:v2.3.0 --version
gomplate version 2.3.0
$ docker run --rm hairyhenderson/gomplate:latest --version
gomplate version 2.3.0

Maybe do a docker pull hairyhenderson/gomplate and re-try?

Thanks for your reply...🙂

I did docker pull hairyhenderson/gomplate, but docker run hairyhenderson/gomplate:latest --version still not showing the version number

$ docker pull hairyhenderson/gomplate:latest

Ah, indeed. I was the one with an out-of-date image 😂.

I think this may actually be "normal" - the latest tag tracks the very latest commit in master, and only builds that are on a released git tag will actually have a version number.

What you probably want to do is stick with a released image, like hairyhenderson/gomplate:v2.3.0.

On the other hand - it would be useful to report at least some kind of an indicator that it's an un-released version (maybe the Git SHA it was built from?)... 🤔

[yizhiheng]

OK, I thought latest meant the latest released version. I will stick with a released image tho.
