Hi Brian.

 

The URL for the Standard Libraries:  https://pkg.go.dev/std   I have attached a 
screenshot (#1).  Notice that some descriptions are missing.  I seem to recall 
that all of the archives used to have the descriptions.

 

I used to be able to click on the arrow to get the sub-menu.  And when I 
clicked on the title I got to its screen.

 

Now, no matter where on this line I click, it expands the sub-level menu.  
There is no way to get to the archive screen.  What would the URL for it be?

 

If I manually go to https://pkg.go.dev/archive I get just the sub-level menu.  
I have attached a screenshot (#2)

If you could provide specific URLs that would be helpful - along with 
screenshots if you think they are rendering wrongly.

 

You mention "archive" - this has two sub-levels, archive/tar and archive/zip

 

https://pkg.go.dev/archive

which links to

https://pkg.go.dev/archive/tar@go1.25.1
https://pkg.go.dev/archive/zip@go1.25.1

 

There is indeed no description at the top level (archive) - but as far as I can 
see, the go source does not contain any description at that level anyway:

https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src/archive

 

Is this a change in behaviour? What did you see before?

Hi all.

 

Is anyone else seeing a problem with the Standard Library website?  It was 
working fine for me about 2 days ago, but I’m having a very strange problem 
with it now.

 

The problem is only with libraries which have no description – just a blank 
line.  This is the case for about 80% of the libraries which have no 
sub-libraries.  For example: archive, compress, container, database, debug, 
etc.  But crypto, encoding, hash, etc, etc - work just fine.

 

There seems to be no information at all about the top level of the library.  
When I click on “archive” all I see is the sub-menu for it.  Nothing about what 
is in the top level of the archive itself.  It’s as if I clicked on the arrow 
to the left of “archive”.

 

I see the same behavior on 3 computers:

*       PC running Windows 10, using both Chrome and Firefox, Go v1.25.1 
windows/amd64

    Also, disabling both my AV program and VPN didn’t help.

*       PC running Windows 7, using Chrome, Go v1.15.13 windows/amd64
*       Phone, Android, using Chrome, Go not installed

 

It seems that the possibly the website has trouble getting the description line 
for some libraries, and this also prevents it from showing the top-level 
content.
