staticcheck
: if go 1.16.x or older is used in installing tools, the extension chooses[email protected]
. In order to use the latest version ofstaticcheck
while working on projects that require older versions of go, you can utilize the"go.toolsManagement.go"
setting to specify a newer version of go for tool installation. (Issue 2162) -
go-outline
:go-outline
is no longer required whengopls
(v0.8.2+) is used. -
Activation: the extension defers commands and feature provider registrations until it runs
go version
andgo env
, and startsgopls
. This change prevent the extension prematually export its features, but may result in a slight increase in extension activation time if those commands run slow. -
Survey: we show the Gopls opt-out survey prompt only when users change the setting to disable
gopls
. -
Test Explorer: fixed a bug in
go.mod
file parsing (Issue 2171) -
Debugging: we removed the informational popup at the start of remote attach session with
dlv-dap
. (Issue 2018)
This version includes two highly experimental features. They are still in early stage and we are looking forward to hearing more user feedback.
-
Go Explorer view: it displays environment variables and information about tools used by the extension. (Issue 2049)
-
Go: Run Vulncheck (Experimental)
command: it runs thegovulncheck
command embedded ingopls
, which identifies known vulnerabilities by call graph traversal and module dependency analysis. (Issue 2096)
@jamalc, @polinasok, @dlipovetsky, @vladdoster, @suzmue, @hyangah
This version includes features to enhance Go 1.18 support. It works best when paired with the latest Go Language Server (gopls
v0.8.0+) and Delve (dlv
v1.8.0+).
Go 1.18 introduces substantial changes to the language spec, so many tools need rebuilding with Go 1.18 or newer. The extension now suggests updates of tools if it finds they were built with old versions of go
which are inadequate for the version used for the project. If you opted in for auto-update, tools will be auto-updated.
In order to use Go 1.18, please follow the instruction to configure your Visual Studio Code to locate the right go binary, and run the Go tools using the "Go: Install/Update Tools" command.
A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.32.0 milestone and commit history.
-
Starting with Go 1.18, the
go
command provides native support for multi-module workspaces, viago.work
files. The new "Open 'go.work'" option in the Go status bar's quickpick menu allows users to access the correspondinggo.work
file. -
The extension no longer depends on
gopkgs
. Its use for "Go: Browse Packages" and "Go: Add Import" commands had been replaced withgo list
or commands ingopls
. (Issue 258) -
The extension uses
gopls
instead ofgo-outline
ifgopls
v0.8.0 or newer is used. We plan to complete the replacement work in the next release. (Issue 1020) -
The new
"go.toolsManagement.go"
setting allows users to specify the Go command for tools installation/updates separate from the Go command used for the project. -
The latest
gopls
requires go 1.13+ for installation, so the extension no longer asks forgopls
updates when an older versions ofgo
is used. (Issue 2030) Notegopls
compiled with go 1.13 or newer can still process projects that use go 1.12. If you want to updategopls
while working with an older version of Go, utilize the new"go.toolsManagement.go"
setting. -
Reduced the verbosity of "Go: Locate Configured Go Tools" output.
- Updated to [email protected] (CVE-2021-23566).
- Deflaked debug tests.
- Changed to check
go.dev/dl
instead ofgolang.org/dl
for Go release. - Improved documentation for the default formatting behavior and template support.

Unified Go status UI ⚡, many debugger feature improvements, and LSP 3.16 features! A list of all issues fixed with this release can be found in the v0.18.0 milestone.
- The new Go status bar provides a menu to manage the go version, open the gopls trace, open the
go.mod
file, and more. The oldGo Modules
status bar was removed in favor of this new unified status bar. See VS Code Go UI documentation to learn more about this. - New
Go: Toggle gc details
command toggles the display of compiler optimization choice for the open Go source file (CL 256658). - Upgraded LSP to
3.16
. Users of recentgopls
can access new features such asCall hierarchy
andSemantic tokens
.
- Debugging:
- Language Server Client: sends
gopls
config as LSP initialization options for correct workspace symbols computation (CL 259138). - Snippets: adds a placeholder for the
for
statement snippet (Issue 734). - Excludes
vendor
directories fromgo.inferGopath
disable mechanism (Issue 301). - New
go.logging.level
setting allows extra logging to help debugging extension issues (CL 256557). - For Nightly extension users,
Go: Show Survey Config
andGo: Reset Survey Config
commands are available.
- Fixed the bug that caused the debug adapter to leave bogus null items in the map type variable presentation (Issue 199).
- Fixed several debug adapter bugs that caused remote debug to hang (Issue 740, 766, 761, 764).
- Restored the correct handling of language server configuration change when users opt for enabling language server and installing
gopls
. (CL 258997). - Fixed a diagnostics error visualization issue when multiple files with errors are open (Issue 743).
- Changed the dependency tool installation to use the
go
command chosen from the currentGOROOT/bin
. This helps avoid using a different version ofgo
command forasdf
ordirenv
users (Issue 757).
- Documented the current limitation of symlink support in debugging (CL 257204), improved the instruction for CLI application debugging (CL 259677), and fixed syntax errors in example task configuration snippets (CL 259077).
- Added an initial set of tests for debug adapters (Issue 137). We will keep working to improve our test coverage.
Thank you for your contributions, @suzmue, @vologab, @amitlevy21, @danielhelfand, @egonk, @quoctruong, @polinasok, @pjweinbgo, @stamblerre, @hyangah!
- Fixed a regression caused by the change for (Issue 679).
If
go
is not found fromPATH
available to the extension, the extension tries a couple of well-known default locations to find thego
binary. In this case, we need to mutatePATH
so other tools includinggopls
ordlv
can choose the same go version. (Issue 713).
- Mutate the
PATH
/Path
environment variable only if users explicitly configure to select the go command usinggo.goroot
,go.alternateTools
, orGo: Choose Go Environment
menu. (Issue 679) - Includes sanitized gopls crash traces in the automated gopls crash report. (CL 256878)
- Changed the default of
go.coverMode
to bedefault
. (Issue 666) - Fixed a missing promise reject when go is not found. (Issue 660)
Thank you for reporting issues!
Go code debugging and code coverage support is getting better.
The extension will help you stay updated with the new Go releases.
- Delve's call feature is now accessible.
To use this feature, explicitly specify the
call
command. E.g.call myAwesomeFunc()
. It is an experimental feature in Delve. Please see the current limitations. (Issue 100) - The extension checks the go official download site and notifies users of
newly available Go versions. When a newer version is available,
Go Update Available
status bar item will appear. This feature is available only ifgo.useGoProxyToCheckForToolUpdates
is set true. (Issue 483) - The new
go.coverMode
setting allows to use different coverage modes (atomic
,count
,set (default)
).go.coverShowCounts
,go.coverageDecorator.{coveredBorderColor, uncoveredBorderColor}
were newly added. We are still investigating better ways to visualize thecount
coverage data; feedback and contribution is welcome! (Issue 256, 594)
- Expands
'~'
in thecwd
attribute of the launch configuration. (Issue 116) - Debug config's
showGlobalVariables
is disabled by default, and this change improves speed. You can still inspect the global variables by registering them in theWATCH
section, or by configuringshowGlobalVariables
inlaunch.json
. (Issue 138) gofumpt
,gofumports
is added to recognized formatters list. (Issue 587)- Automatically restarts the language server if
go.toolsEnvVars
configuration is changed. (CL 254370) - Reports
go env
failures. (Issue 555)
- Fixed to use absolute file paths in error messages appearing in the DEBUG OUTPUT. This allows VS Code to locate the correct files. (Issue 456)
- Fixed handling of absolute file paths in coverage profile, on windows. (Issue 553)
- Changed to pass
GOROOT
when invoking thegopkgs
tool sogopkgs
continues to work with different go versions without being recompiled. (CL 254137) - Fixed to provide explicit directory for running go list and go version. (Issue 610, CL 253600, 253602)
- Fixed to trigger extension activation when commands for diagnostics,
such as
Go: Locate Configured Go Tools
are invoked. (Issue 457) - Fixed to prepend
GOROOT/bin
to integrated terminal's PATH environment variable whengo.goroot
is set on OS X. (Issue 544) - Fixed to correctly apply environment variables setting read from
envFile
in the launch configuration. We reworked how the environment variables configuration is processed during this cycle. Now the extension processes theenvFile
attribute instead of asking the debug adapter process to read the specifiedenvFile
. (Issue 452) - Disabled
go.installDependenciesWhenBuilding
by default. When this is enabled, the extension runsgo
commands with-i
, which is no longer recommended with recent versions of Go. (Issue 568) - Fixed a bug where we are not sending back 'configuration done' response. (Issue eclipse-theia/theia#8455, CL 254959)
- Added new documentation about switching go versions, and settings for standard library development.
- Improved debugging instruction and contribution guide. Enhanced automated settings documentation generation.
- Removed the obsolete string-type coverageDecorator support. (Issue 519)
- When gopls integration tests fail, tests print the observed gopls traces to help debugging.
- We plan to delegate computation of various
run test
CodeLenses togopls
. This experimental feature can be enabled with the following setting:
"go.useLanguageServer": true,
"gopls": {
"codelens": { "test": true }
}

- Fixed the compile error message parsing bug that prevented correct file name expansion in test output. (Issue 522).
- Fixed the regression that caused to run tests in the local directory mode and result in more verbose output than the package list mode. (Issue 528).
- Fixed
"go.alternateTools"
settings to accept any tool names without settings.json diagnostics warning. (Issue 526)
- Fixed the bug that made test output verbose by default (Issue 471).
- Fixed the extension host crash bug due to a process-wide uncaught exception handler accidentally installed along with the inlined debug adapter. This crash bug also caused connection drops when used with the VS Code Remote extension (Issue 467, 469).
- Readded the predefined variable resolution support for
go.goroot
andgo.toolsEnvVars
(Issue 464, 413).
This version requires VS Code 1.46+.
Older versions of VS Code will not receive updates any more.
- Users can select/install a different version of Go with
Go: Choose Go Environment
command. When clicking theGo
status bar that displays the currently active Go version, users will be prompted with the list of Go versions installed locally or available for download. This feature was built based on thegolang.org/dl
tools. The selected Go version applies to the workspace, takes precedence over the system default or the"go.goroot"
and"go.alternateTools"
settings, and persists across sessions. You can clear the choice by selecting theClear Selection
item. (Issue 253) - When the Go version changes, the extension prepends
$GOROOT/bin
to thePATH
orPath
environment variable which then applies the change to the integrated terminal windows. - This version includes an experimental version of the new Debug Adapter that uses Delve's
native DAP implementation. It currently supports
launch
type requests indebug
ortest
mode. This is still in the early stages and requiresdlv
built from its unreleased, master branch. Subscribe to golang/vscode-go#23 for updates.
- Bundles the extension using webpack, which reduced the extension size (4.7MB -> 1MB) and the extension loading overhead (3.4K files -> 3 files) (Issue 53).
Go: Apply Cover Profile
applies code coverage for multiple packages (CL 238697). We fixed bugs in processing coverage profiles on Windows.- Suggests the official Go download page when no
go
tool is found. - Utilizes the
GOMODCACHE
environment variable, introduced in Go 1.15. - Prevents multiple debug sessions from launching (Issue 109).
- Streams test output when tests run with the
-v
option. This feature requires 1.14 or newer versions of Go (Issue 316). - Sets
additionalProperties
tofalse
for the settings that don't expect more properties. This allows VS Code to handle these settings better in its new settings GUI (Issue 284). Go: Locate Configured Go Tools
includesgo env
results (Issue 195).- Avoids prompting users to switch the default format tool in modules mode if users enable the language server.
- Fixed the
PATH
environment variable adjustment when users use a wrapper as an alternate tool forgo
(CL 239697). - Fixed a bug in test output processing, which prevented VS code from linking test log messages with locations in the source file.
- Fixed a
gocode-gomod
installation bug whenGOPATH
includes multiple directories (Issue 368). - Avoids attempting to kill already terminated processes (Issue 334).
- Fixed
godef
to locate standard packages correctly by passing theGOROOT
environment variable. - Fixed a
golangci-lint
integration bug that prevented displaying the lint results correctly when linters likenolintlint
are enabled (Issue 411). - Fixed lost test function name arguments when running
Go: Test Previous
(Issue 269).
- Many enhancements to improve test reliability and test coverage were made during this dev cycle.
- TryBot is enabled, and the test results are posted to Gerrit CL. Currently, only the internal team members can see the details of the test results, but we will continue working to make them public.
- Windows tests are now fixed and enabled in GitHub Action-based CI.
- Refactored code shared by the extension and the debug adapters to prevent accidental debug adapter breakages.
- Updated
json-rpc2
andlodash
to address vulnerability reports fromnpm audit
.

- Do not fail tools installation when gocode is not already running (Issue 355).
- Improved
gopls
error report suggestion and changed to send reports to the vscode-go issue tracker instead of the go issue tracker (cl/240506).
- Removed the
preview
note in the published extension (Issue 273).
- The new command
Go: Subtest At Cursor
runs an individual subtest if the subtest's name is a simple string (cl/235447). - The new setting
go.trace.server
controls tracing between VS Code and the language server (cl/232458). Unlike tracing usinggopls
flags, this controls client-side tracing, and does not require to restart the server to change the value. This client-side trace is presented in thegopls
output channel. The server-side trace has been moved to the newgopls (server)
output channel (cl/233598). - There is now a new Go version status bar item. Clicking it currently only pops up the current
GOROOT
. We plan to add Go version switch, and other features using this status bar item.
Go: Add Tags To Struct Fields
prompts transform parameter input if the settinggo.addTags.promptForTags
is true (Issue 2546).Go: Locate Go Tools
command output includes theGOBIN
value. (cl/235197).- Improved debugging experience
- The debug adapter automatically infers the mapping between remote and local paths for easy remote debugging (cl/234020, Issue 45).
- The debug adapter handles errors that can occur during remote connection setup (cl/237550, Issue 215).
- Failed watch expression evaluation no longer pops up error message windows. The error is visible in the watch window instead (cl/236999, Issue 143).
- Better language server integration
go.gopath
,go.goroot
,go.toolsGopath
are now machine-overridable (cl/236539, Issue 2981).- The extension does not mutate the
GOROOT
environment variable any more.go.goroot
is used to select thego
command under the specified directory (Issue 146). - A redundant code action provider was removed when using the language server (cl/239284).
- Fixed
gopls
version detection and upgrade logic when pre-release versions are involved (cl/235524). - Processes started with
Run > Run Without Debugging (^F5)
are now cleaned up when the run sessions end (cl/236879). - When
go.alternateTools.go
is set, the path to$(go env GOROOT)/bin
is passed to underlying tools to ensure they use the samego
version (cl/239697). - Now the extension avoids invoking buggy
pgrep
on mac OS (cl/236538, Issue 90).
- More test coverage
- Upgraded dependencies including websocket-extensions from 0.1.3 to 0.1.4 (cl/228617, cl/236839, pr/3261).
