invalid goriscv64: %s

Error message

invalid goriscv64: %s

What it means

GoReleaser validates every build target's GORISCV64 setting against the values the Go toolchain accepts: rva20u64, rva22u64, or rva23u64. If a target sets goriscv64 to anything else, listTargets aborts with this error.

Solutions

1. Set goriscv64 in the target to one of rva20u64, rva22u64, or rva23u64
2. Remove the goriscv64 field entirely to use the Go toolchain default
3. Verify your Go version supports the chosen profile (rva23u64 requires Go 1.25+)

Example fix

// before (.goreleaser.yaml)
targets:
  - riscv64_rv64gc
// after
targets:
  - riscv64_rva20u64

valid := []string{"rva20u64", "rva22u64", "rva23u64"}
if v, ok := target["goriscv64"]; ok && v != "" && !slices.Contains(valid, v) {
	return fmt.Errorf("invalid goriscv64 %q; must be one of %v", v, valid)
}

func validGoriscv64(v string) bool {
	return v == "" || slices.Contains([]string{"rva20u64", "rva22u64", "rva23u64"}, v)
}

When it happens

Trigger: A build target with goarch riscv64 has a goriscv64 value not in {rva20u64, rva22u64, rva23u64}, e.g. 'rv64gc', 'generic', or a misspelling like 'rva20'.

Common situations: Using ISA names from other toolchains (e.g. 'rv64gc' from gcc) instead of Go's profiles, hand-editing .goreleaser.yaml with a typo, or adding riscv64 targets after reading outdated documentation (older Go only had rva20u64/rva22u64).
