vscode-go | Go extension for Visual Studio Code

I am downloading Go on my Ubuntu 16.04 computer. I am following this tutorial and I can't progress from this part on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS4e4q9oBaU&t=1810s:

When I created that Main.go an error on VSC console shows up:

It is my first time coding in Go. I am following an example and I succesfully can run the small applcation bellow. But I can't find a reason for not been ran in Visual Studio Code. So far I can see, I follow the suggestion found in this answer saying: "... Since your package is outside of $GOPATH, you may need to create a module file. You'll need to init your go module using".

go.mod

When I type console.lo in a .js file in Visual Studio Code, I can hit Enter, and autocomplete will change my line to console.log. However, I would also like autocomplete to add parentheses. This question was already asked using the Go programming language. I tried adding js.useCodeSnippetsOnFunctionSuggest as well as javascript.useCodeSnippetsOnFunctionSuggest. Neither of these work. I also tried useCodeSnippetsOnMethodSuggest as suggested here, but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Visual Studio Code environment with the Linux Subsystem for windows running and it's compiling and running a Go project just fine.

Now I'm trying to get the delve debugger running following this link:

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Debugging-Go-code-using-VS-Code

But I can't get it running, neither remote nor local.

Tried all kind of configurations in launch.json but breakpoints just arent hit and no error message is printed.

Has anyone got go debugging running on VSCode using the WSL?

From here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/GOPATH-in-the-VS-Code-Go-extension

At any point in time, you can run the command Go: Current GOPATH to see the GOPATH being used by the extension.

But... WHERE do I type that command?

Is there a specific command pane I need to open or something?

(I'm on the Mac client, if that's relevant.)

I create a sample project in Golang:

I am developing a Go (1.12.0) api-server using vscode (1.34.0 insider and stable builds) for Windows 10. The source code is located on the Windows machine in the defined %GOPATH%. Delve (dlv.exe - version 1.2.0) is also installed in %GOPATH%\bin and %GOPATH%\bin is also in the Windows %PATH%.

The go app is then built in a Docker (Docker Desktop Version 2.0.0.3 (31259)) container with docker-compose (as some other services such as Database and web-server are running in other containers). The final go app binary is then copied to an Alpine-Linux container together with the delve executable and the delve server is started in headless mode. No source code is copied over to the Alpine-Linux container, just the binaries.

I have not managed to get remote debugging set up properly in vscode with this set-up. The debugger does start my app but any breakpoints immediately turn grey and become "unverified". They are also not hit when the app (api server) runs.

Debugging with this set-up works perfectly (debugger starts, breakpoints can be set and are hit) when using the Goland IDE from Jetbrains for remote debugging.

I have tried to find a solution over the last couple of days, finding forum posts with similar problems for Chrome debugging, Node.js debugging etc. and this post on Go, specifically:

Remote debugging - Unverified breakpoint

I also found this sample config:

https://github.com/lukehoban/webapp-go/blob/debugging/.vscode/launch.json

I think the main problem I had is that nowhere could I find any examples of how to properly set the path of the program in launch.json for the remote debug config on a Windows machine (nor could I find any documentation referring to this). The source code is only on the Windows machine in GOPATH, not in the final container the app and delve run in (and this, again, works fine with Goland debugger)

My project path/directory structure (simplified):

In order to discover Linux namespaces under certain conditions my open source Golang package lxkns needs to re-execute the application it is used in as a new child process in order to be able to switch mount namespaces before the Golang runtime spins up. The way Linux mount namespaces work makes it impossible to switch them from Golang applications after the runtime has spun up OS threads.

This means that the original process "P" re-runs a copy of itself as a child "C" (reexec package), passing a special indication via the child's environment which signals to the child to only run a specific "action" function belonging to the included "lxkns" package (see below for details), instead of running the whole application normally (avoiding endless recursively spawning children).

I've installed Microsoft VS Code in another partition (Drive D) on my Windows 10 system. I prefer to keep Microsoft VS Code in another partition away from Windows.

My goal is to install the GO extension from Microsoft. The link to the extension is here.

Click here to visit the source of the repository to the go extension.

The following error occurs when I attempt to install the GO extension through the Extension dialog in the Microsoft VS Code application.

The Error:

Failed to run "go env" to find GOPATH as the "go" binary cannot be found in either GOROOT(undefined) or PATH (

C:\Windows\system32;

C:\Windows;

C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;

C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;

C:\Users\ My username left out \AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

)

I suspect that the cause is the fact that I installed Microsoft VS Code in another partition. I've also mentioned this at the beginning of my question. I've explained the steps that I took to find the solution below:

First I examined the location of the go resource. It seems that my resource is placed in the right folder (the folder of my installation.

D:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\go

Than I tried a simple command through the commands by pressing ctrl+shift+p and then typing go:Current GOPATH. the error message

command go.goroot not found

Then I thought of testing out if I can run a basic go file. I searched for a simple example and came across this site.. So, I've created a project folder and added the file Hello.go in the folder D:\VS_Projects\GO_Helloworld Then I placed the hello world program in it. The program is shown below
