Release 0.23.1

v0.23.1 - 11th Mar, 2021

🎉   We use staticcheck as the default lint tool. We also changed to use goimports for formatting when not using gopls.

This version requires VS Code 1.52 or newer.

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.23.1 milestone and the changes since v0.22.1

Enhancements

• Changed the default lint/format tools. (Issue 189, 192)
• Enhanced dlv-dap start logic (Issue 1270) and improved output/error message forwarding. (CL 296930)

Fixes

• Fixed the spurious popup message about the use of goreturns. (CL 300430)
• Fixed orphaned progress notification after restarting gopls. (Issue 1153)
• Fixed cryptic error messages that appear when gopls commands fail. (Issue 1237)
• Fixed incomplete folding range info issue caused by parse errors. Complete fix requires gopls v0.6.7+ (Issue 1224)

Release 0.23.0

v0.23.0 - 4th Mar, 2021

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.23.0 milestone and the changes since v0.22.1

Enhancements

• Improved debugging workflow of attaching to local process. (Issue 183)
  By setting processId to the command name of the process, ${command:pickProcess}, or ${command:pickGoProcess} a quick pick menu will show a list of processes to choose from.
• Enabled access to Delve DAP again. Simplified the Delve DAP launch workflow and removed the intermediate Node.JS adapter.
  If "debugAdapter": "dlv-dap" is specified in launch.json configurations, the extension will use Delve DAP for the debug session. When using Delve DAP, install the dev version of dlv built from master (cd; GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@master) to pick up the latest bug fixes and feature improvement. (Issue 23, 822,844)

• Go: Reset Global State and Go: Reset Workspace State commands are available for easier extension state reset.
• Enabled survey to collect feedback from users who disabled gopls.
• Added a new setting ("go.disableConcurrentTests") that prevents concurrent go test invocation. (Issue 1089)

Fixes

• Issue 1113: error message when debugee terminates fast.
• Issue 179: disable stackTrace error pop-ups during debugging.
• CL 290289: check incorrect gopls flag usage before automated gopls crash report.
• Issue 948: show lint tool's name as the lint diagnostic collection name.
• Issue 1252: search C:\Program Files\Go\bin, C:\Program Files (x86)\Go\bin\go.exe, the new default Go installation path in Windows.

Code Health

• Migrated to use gts to enforce consistent coding style. (Issue 1227)
• Preview mode features are available in both Nightly and the dev version.
• Enabled integration test in Go module mode.
• Enabled Delve DAP integration test.
• Removed the latest branch.
