• Quick Info Prompt information (using GODEF)
• Goto definition jumps to definitions (using Godef)
• Find References Search reference (using go-find-references)
• File Outline Document Outline (using Go-outline)
• Workspace symbol Search Workspace sign searching (using go-symbols )
• Rename renaming (using Gorename)
• Build-on-save Save build (using Go build and go test)
• Format code formatting (using Goreturns or Goimports or gofmt)
• Add Imports Reference (using gopkgs)
• Debugging debug code (using delve)

Second, installation tools

First, you need to install visual Studio Code version 0.10. Select extension in the command panel (ctrl-shift-p or F1 key) and go.

Note: Visual Studio code installation, see 3.1 Visual Studio Code.

To set the working environment system variable Gopath, see "Setting environment variable Gopath 3.3". The Gopath of this machine is D:\GoWorks. Open the Gopath folder or subfolder you want to work with to start editing the go file.

Other plug-in installation is described in the "four, plug-in configuration." After installation, the interface is as follows:

Press F5, prompt cannot debug, install Debugging tool.

Debug tool installation, run at command line:

go get -v -u github.com/peterh/liner github.com/derekparker/delve/cmd/dlv

At the press of F5, debug:

Third, the Configuration tool

3.1 Settings.json

The following Visual Studio code settings are available for Go extensions. These can be set in user preferences or workspace settings (. vscode/settings.json).
Open the workspace Settings.json:

  { "Files.autosave": "Onfocuschange"   go.buildonsave: true  ,  " Go.lintonsave ": true  , " Go.vetonsave ": Span style= "COLOR: #0000ff" >true   "Go.buildflags" : [],  "go.lintflags" : [],  "Go.vetflags" Span style= "COLOR: #000000" >: [],  "go.usecodesnippetsonfunctionsuggest": false   "Go.formatonsave": false   "Go.formattool": "Goreturns"  "go.goroot": "\ c \ \go " "Go.gopath": "D:\\goworks" }   

3.2 Launch.json

Debug tool Configuration Launch.json:

{ "version":"0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name":"Launch", "type":"Go", "Request":"Launch", "Mode":"Debug", " Program":"${workspaceroot}", "Env": {}, "args": [] } ] }

The program parameter can refer to a package folder for debugging, or a file in that folder.

modeParameters can be set to:

• Debug compiles the program folder under the debugger and launches the contents. Default
• Test debug tests in the Programs folder.
• exec to run the pre-built binaries of the program folder that builds the current code instead.

3.3 Building and debugging extensions

You can set up debugging for your development environment with extended extensions.

First make sure that the. vscode/extensions is not installed. Then clone the other local repository on your machine, run NPM to install and open code for the development instance.

In the cmd command, open the D:\GoWorks directory:

Run the following command in the cmd window:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go

Go to vscode-go Directory

Run NPM Install

Enter code. Pop-up Vscode-go window

Now you can debug Viewlet and check launch extension when pressing the F5 key.
In the [Extension development Host] instance, open the Gopath folder.
You can now kill the breakpoint and step through the extension.
If the extension is on. TS file for editing, simply reload the [Extension development Host]code instance in the newly extended code load, the debug instance is automatically connected.
