Hey @twoGiants , To fix this we only have to change go.mod file from go 1.24.4 to go 1.24.
Am I right ?

@intojhanurag try. I don't think that will cut it. When you run go mod tidy it should add 1.24.4 back in. The issue is probably deeper.

@twoGiants , You are right . when i ran "go mod tidy" it got revert. Hey @gauron99 what is your thought on it.

Thanks for reporting I will take a look. I guess this either changed with the big e2e upgrade or maybe a longer standing issue and we just havent noticed 😄 Perhaps a knative script issue where we need that specific format

Can we close this @twoGiants @gauron99 ?
