1.22.4 cannot find GOROOT directory: 'go' binary is trimmed and GOROOT is not set

Go version

1.22.4

Output of go env in your module/workspace:

I cant check it.

What did you do?

I use ansible scripts and everything worked until 1.22.4 released. I run installation script today for fresh machine.

- name: Check the latest available Go version
  ansible.builtin.shell: |
    set -o pipefail;
    curl -s https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text | grep 'go' | tr -d 'go'
  args:
    executable: /bin/bash
  changed_when: false
  register: wal_g_latest_version

- name: "Download Go v{{ wal_g_latest_version.stdout }}"
    ansible.builtin.get_url:
      url: "https://go.dev/dl/go{{ wal_g_latest_version.stdout }}.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
      dest: /tmp/
      timeout: 60
      validate_certs: false

- name: Install Go
    ansible.builtin.unarchive:
      src: "/tmp/go{{ wal_g_latest_version.stdout }}.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
      dest: /usr/local/
      extra_opts:
        - --no-same-owner
      remote_src: true
    when: go_installed_version.stderr is search("command not found") or
      go_installed_version.stdout is version(wal_g_latest_version.stdout, '<')

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin:/usr/local/go/bin

What did you see happen?

Run: go env
go: cannot find GOROOT directory: 'go' binary is trimmed and GOROOT is not set.

it is disaster with this environment variables. What I need to set to make it work?

What did you expect to see?

it just works
