Support for go 1.11 / go modules

[robbyoconnor]

Things need to be updated to support go 1.11, currently, things don't work correctly in go 1.11.

Also worth referencing: mdempsky/gocode#46

I currently have a simple solution

1. go get -u github.com/visualfc/gocode (it supports go 1.11) and go get -u github.com/visualfc/gotools (needed by visualfc/gocode)
2. create your project outside fo GOPATH, for example: /home/user/demo
3. link the project under $GOPATH/src, ln -s /home/user/demo $GOPATH/src/demo

then it works for me now.

#305 should ultimately fix the PANIC issue once merged I think

Hi, I could work on gocode autocomplete support for go 1.11.

1. gbimporter can probably to be removed since it was used to support gb based projects.
2. golang.org/x/tools/go/packages needs to be added
3. go.mod file needs to be added for vendor libraries

@keegancsmith It looks that this change will potentially break go 1.9-1.10 support, which is something I don't like, but I will see how it goes.

The implementation depends on the Go 1.11 go command; support for earlier versions will be added soon.

Before working on this issue we should probably implement #320.

[imjustfly]

not only the code completion, also, find references doesn't work when project is out of gopath.

Tried to dig into this issue, but language server's implementation is too complicated.

[imjustfly]

I think I find the solution for finding references. Working on it.

[imjustfly]

#321 makes references and lint available outside the GOPATH.

But in my own opinion, the best direction is rewriting the project with golang.org/x/tools/go/packages, which needs lots of works and is not compatible with older versions of go.

So I concern what's the plan for it ? @keegancsmith

There is a new fork of gocode which works for modules
https://github.com/stamblerre/gocode

vscode-go is starting to use it, and it's shown in golang issue trackers for tools supporting modules:
golang/go#24661

Note: The go tools team at Google is working on a language server which will support go/packages from the get go. Here is some more information on that https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/136676#message-11c783bc9a9f6adf6119bbb85c89510fda25abe9

Unless someone from the community does this for go-langserver, I suspect the server from google will be ready before we have time to work on this.

bingo is a new go language server that support go 1.11 modules

please try it.

Thanks for sharing the link.

So, how does one use the new cmd/golsp?

[keegancsmith]

If you are using vscode check out https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/cmd/gopls/integration/vscode

@keegancsmith Thanks a lot.

I was able to get it working with golsp but I've found bingo to be more stable and faster so I am using bingo. I didn't have to install the extension that you linked to (https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/cmd/gopls/integration/vscode). vscode-go worked fine.

I've written a post about setting up the two: https://bana.io/blog/go-language-server/. I've happy to modify the contents of the blog post if you spot issues or have better ideas.

https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/cmd/gopls really needs a detailed README.md explaining how to get started and how to contribute. I've spotted a new panics that I know I can fix but looking at repo and it lack of documentation makes me think it's not getting much love, I could be wrong.

[keegancsmith]

gopls is under active development by google's go tools team. What I linked to is likely early days, although I believe it is getting close to some sort of announcement. bingo is a good alternative until then.

Tried golsp along with its vscode extension. It gave me The gopls server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted. error and couldn't figure out why.

@saibing your bingo works nicely. Thanks for the great work!

[robbyoconnor]

golsp worked for me fine...
