The Go fail to exec "wsl sudo service docker start" while powershell can run it

Question

Here is my .go file

package config

import (
    "log"
    "os/exec"
)

func StartWSLContainers() {
    // Test if we can invoke WSL commands
    if err := exec.Command("wsl", "echo", "hello").Run(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to use WSL command: %v", err)
    }

    // Start the Docker service
    if err := exec.Command("wsl", "sudo", "service", "docker", "start").Run(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to start Docker service: %v", err)
    }

    // Start containers based on the conf/docker-compose.yml file
    if err := exec.Command("wsl", "docker-compose", "-f", "conf/docker-compose.yml", "up", "-d").Run(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to start docker-compose: %v", err)
    }
}

The result is the error message:

C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\JetBrains\GoLand2023.2\tmp\GoLand\___2go_build_main_go.exe

Process finished with the exit code 1

I have given GoLand administrator privilege，and test the command works well in powershell.
