debug project with custom structure

[amirphl]

I have a project with such a structure:
project/
|-- cmd/
| |-- main.go
|-- service/
| |-- company/
| |-- service.go
|-- repo/

I normally run the project using this command:
go run ./cmd serve
Here. serve is just an argument.

Problematic Scenarios
When placing a breakpoint in a function in service.go, the debugging process fails because the build command is incorrect:
go build -o <path-to-executable> -gcflags all=-N -l <path-to>/service/company/service.go
This command is invalid as it attempts to compile a file that does not contain the main function.

Conversely, when navigating to main.go and attempting to debug, the generated build command is also incorrect:
go build -o <path-to-executable> -gcflags all=-N -l <path-to>/cmd/main.go
It should instead execute:
go build -o <path-to-executable> -gcflags all=-N -l <path-to>/cmd serve

I appreciate any help to fix the problem.

Current Solution
I have successfully resolved my debugging issue by temporarily injecting the serve keyword into os.Args. Subsequently, I run "Debug Package" from the main.go file, which works as a temporary workaround.

Desired Enhancement
I am seeking a more flexible solution that allows me to run "Debug Package" from any source file, not just restricted to main.go. For instance, I am unable to initiate "Debug Package" from my service.go.

@amirphl please check if delve.build_flags configuration addresses your use-case.
If it doesn't, I currently don't have the time to implement it but feel free to push a PR in the repo.
