My intention is that you would wrap the custom formatter in a script so that you can transform why the extension passes into the form the formatter needs. Also happy to introduce a template variable if that's preferred |

The extension supports custom formatter. When gopls is used, this is done by intercepting the formatting request from the middleware and passing it to the legacy format provider that calls the specified tool. The "Nonexistent formatter" test is meant to take this middleware code path and let the legacy format provider fail by setting `go.formatTool` with a bogus, non-existing tool name. This setting doesn't need to affect other tests though. Limit this setting to only the nonexistent formatter, by starting a new language server instance for each test. Additionally this fixes bugs: - wait to show the document to format - the legacy formatter doesn't run if there is no visible document. (I don't know why we don't format non-visible document but that's how it's written goFormat.ts:24). - close the open editor after each test.

Custom formatter support was added in #1238. But due to the limitation in the VS Code setting UI (which assumes the acceptable values list is static) and the setting validation logic (VS Code thinks it's an error to use a value outside of the supplied enum list is invalid), this is not visible to users. Instead, this change introduces an extra enum 'custom' for the "go.formatTool" setting. If this is chosen, the extension uses the tool specified as `customFormatter` in the "go.alternateTools" setting section for formatting. The extension expects the custom formatter to accept input as STDIN and output the result as STDOUT. Users can also supply "go.formatFlags". Changed the descriptions to use markdown - which allows to reference other settings ("`#...#`"). The document generation tool does not handle this special syntax nicely but I hope this isn't too confusing. I wish we could add an extra validation on the allowed value for "go.formatTool" in favor of this new 'custom' option. I am not adding the validation in this CL because there could be users who depend on this behavior.

Describe the bug
Currently the vscode-go extension has code paths to support running a custom go formatting tool. However, those code paths stop short of actually passing the file that should be formatted as an argument to the formatter. This makes it so that a custom formatting tool cannot actually be run since it has no way of knowing what file it should format
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
"go.formatTool"to a path to a custom toolThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
