Go 1.11 - PANIC in autocomplete

[EmpireJones]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update to go 1.11
2. Delete/reinstall all tools (delete bin/pkg folders)
3. Restart vscode
4. Get PANIC in autocomplete

I think I followed all relevant steps in #1888 but am still getting a panic. Are there any other steps required for upgrading to Go 1.11?

I tried a fresh install of Go 1.11 along with a fresh install of Visual Studio Code and also have the same problem on my Macbook.

Are you using the new modules feature? If yes, then its not yet supported. If not, then follow the below:

• Close VS Code
• Check for any running process for gocode. If you find it, kill it.
• Open VS Code, Run Go: Install/Update Tools, select gocode and install it
• Try for auto-completions

[strtob01]

No I'm not using the new modules feature. I tried the steps you mentioned but the autocompletion still panics.

I just solved it. I had old gocode binaries in my PATH locations on my hard drive. I deleted all of them and the ran your instructions again and now it's working as expected.

I still haven't figured this one out. I have it working on one of two computers.

Killing gocode processes and reinstalling gocode didn't help. I also tried rebooting and reinstalling the vscode-go extension.

Is there any way to output details of the panic?

[EmpireJones]

Figured out how to debug: gocode -s -debug from bin folder

Error is: panic: embedded struct field without name?

not sure if that helps me though...

When do you plan to support the go 1.11 go.mod modules feature? I'm getting weird package errors like it can't find the local go packages. Example go.mod:
module company.com/product/identityservice

require (
cloud.google.com/go v0.28.0 // indirect
.....
)

replace company.com/product/go_common => ../go_common

Closing this issue because:

• @strtob01 has the problem solved by deleting the old binaries
• @EmpireJones Looks like gocode itself is panicking. I am not sure what the extension can do in that situation :( Are you using Go modules? If yes, please try the beta version
• @bjm88 As mentioned above, please try the beta version and take a look at Test Plan for Sept 2018 (0.6.90) #1939

Thanks, I created mdempsky/gocode#66.
I'm not using go modules.
