I love Go. It’s too bad that go modules broke ide support and godocs. I miss the simplicity of gopath.

it made it painful for a while, but GoLand and VSCode both support modules at this point (though VSCode uses the gopls[1] (language server), that I've been having mixed results with). [1] https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls

  I can't speak for GoLand but VSCode is totally borked. It is improving but we regressed a ton after Go modules were released.

Hello, I'm new to go (and so far enjoying it). I haven't use modules yet. How do they break IDE support ? (using Goland here)
- knoebber 7y ago
  It doesn't. You just need to configure goland properly

  I haven't used Goland but vscode is broken.

I constantly see this sentiment and don't get it. It's perfectly fine in GoLand, and has been for the year I've been using it. What's broken for you?

  VScode: * Function renames * Function references across packages * imports on save Some of this can be fixed by restarting gopls (experimental) ever 20m: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Go-modules-support-in-Visual-Studio-Code https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Go-modules-suppo...

    Are you using an old version of gopls? From the v0.3.0 release notes[1]: Workspace-scoped references, rename, and go to implementation. These features use your workspace root as the search scope, so behavior will vary based on the directory you open in your editor [1] https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33030#issuecomment-510151934 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33030#issuecomment-51015...

      Yup, v0.3.0 here (gopls version) and still broken.

        If you haven't already, it sounds like it would probably be worth your time to open an issue. If things like workspace-scoped references and renaming aren't working for you when they are working for other people, perhaps you have a non-standard setting, or perhaps there is a need to adjust how you open vscode, or perhaps you are hitting bug(s). My experience has been the people working on gopls are very responsive.

    VS Code is a text editor not an IDE, right? That's what its proponents always boasted in the beginning at least. I just got work to pay for a GoLand licensed for me. The VSC experience was slower, more RAM hungry and not as full featured, so it didn't really make sense to stick with.

Lol there is nothing simple about gopath.
