It's possible that #68223 can be the same issue.
The issue is present in gopls v0.16 too.

Thanks, I can reproduce the problem. The URL is lacking the final /github segment of the package path. If you instead use Source Action > Browse Documentation, it computes the correct URL. Will investigate.

[adonovan]

Ah, the logic in golang.formatLink is to blame:

	if pkgURL != nil { // LinksInHover == "gopls"
		path, _, _ := strings.Cut(h.LinkPath, "@") // remove optional module version suffix
		url = pkgURL(PackagePath(path), h.LinkAnchor)

LinkPath is github.com/google/go-github/[email protected]/github, and the Cut yields github.com/google/go-github/v48.

It should probably use something like https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/mod/module#SplitPathVersion to parse the path.

Seems like an easy fix, thanks Alan for investigating. I'll put this in the v0.17.0 milestone, but we can of course fix it later.
