Compilation errors / no autocompletion with gopls and Go modules

[stamblerre]

This is a general issue to help guide users of the language server, gopls.

If you see unexpected error messages, make sure that you are opening your directory at or below the module root (the directory containing the go.mod file). You can also open a directory within the module. This is a current limitation of gopls, which the gopls team are working on addressing.

If you are working with multiple modules, you can use VS Code's Workspace Folders feature. You can add another module to your workspace by selecting File -> Add Folder to Workspace. Note that features will not work across modules.

More context here: golang/go#32394, golang/go#36899.
For further help, see the gopls Troubleshooting Guide.

@jcbritobr Sorry to hear that. Can you please share the gopls trace and the symptom when it doesn't work? https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/doc/troubleshooting.md#capturing-logs

May you help me to know how to get the traces? Em qua, 15 de jul de 2020 10:34, Hyang-Ah Hana Kim <notifications@github.com> escreveu:

@jcbritobr: The link @hyangah shared above (https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/doc/troubleshooting.md#capturing-logs) has an explanation of how to capture gopls logs.

Can't reproduce it anymore. I'll close for a while, until get the data for you guys.

This issue should be fixed by the improved error messages in gopls/v0.6.0, so I think it can now be closed.
