Same issue
golang - 1.16.9

[Thor-wl]

I've solved this problem by upgating golang to v1.17. Not sure whether it is a bug for v1.16 or not.

[HeGaoYuan]

Can it be solved by not upgating golang to v1.17?

[Thor-wl]

Unfortunately, I tried some ways but all failed.

Updating to latest golang is solving this issue ?
