Not able to set dynamic $FileDir$ in the run configurations it seems.

You can use $FileDir$ and other macros in fields with the plus icon (Go tool arguments, Program arguments).

Working on golangci-lint integration. There is an extension and I’ve also configured the FileWatcher to run on save, but neither is working as seamlessly as VSCode setting as the gopls linter tool.

Feel free to follow GO-2220.

Can’t find a way to assign intentions to a keyboard shortcut.

You can execute intentions, e.g., Add a Go Comment header via universal shortcut Option(Alt)+Enter.

@s0xzwasd thank you for this! Will check this out.
Is there any reason run configurations don't have support for the variables? I'd want to run my test config against current directory or parent directory I'd I set it, but currently I have to use other approach like filewatcher. This means the nice test panel doesn't work then.

Might be misunderstanding the right approach. In vscode there are just "tasks.json" and that's it basically. While there are debug or file watcher triggers with extensions the tasks file contains all the commands like nom, go tests etc.

I would say that it works in a bit different way in GoLand. You should create a run configuration per package/directory/file. It takes a bit more time to create them all once, but it has its own benefits:

• You can run your tests per module independently of your project tree and your current focus.
• You can save different environment configurations per module and pass specific arguments.
• You can create compound configurations to run multiple modules or all of them. It applies to test all directories/modules and show coverage too.

It’s three points that come to my mind instantly. Generally, you have more control with «static» configurations instead of «dymanic» in complicated projects, in my opinion. Dynamic configurations have own benefits as well.
