VSCode Configuration for Go
VSCode🔗
Custom Tasks🔗
Default Shells🔗
This can ensure default behavior is processed on each OS, customizing the shell to use.
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"presentation": {
"echo": false,
"reveal": "always",
"focus": false,
"panel": "dedicated",
"showReuseMessage": true
},
"linux": {
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "/usr/local/bin/zsh",
"args": ["-l", "-c"]
}
},
"type": "shell"
},
"windows": {
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "pwsh"
}
},
"type": "shell"
},
"osx": {
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "/usr/local/bin/zsh",
"args": ["-l", "-c"]
}
},
"type": "shell"
},
"tasks": []
}
Run Lint🔗
Add this to your .vscode/tasks.json file and you'll get the full linting output in your problems pane.
By default, the golangci-lint config should include --fast to avoid impact to your editing.
This will ensure all tasks that a pre-commit check or CI check will be run and provided in the problems panel.
"tasks": [
{
"label": "go-lint-all",
"detail": "This runs the full range of checks and the VSCode problem matcher will pull all of them in. Without this, the default behavior of VSCode is to run with --fast to reduce impact to IDE.",
"type": "shell",
"command": "golangci-lint",
"args": [
"run",
"--out-format",
"colored-line-number"
],
"problemMatcher": [
"$go"
],
"presentation": {
"echo": true,
"reveal": "always",
"focus": true,
"panel": "dedicated",
"showReuseMessage": true,
"clear": true
}
},
Run Nicely Formatted Test Output🔗
Tparse🔗
While the testing extension is great, sometimes I just want to see a console summary. This task uses Tparse and provides a nicely formatted summary (including coverage numbers, cached tests, and more).
Install tparse with: go install github.com/mfridman/tparse@latest.
Run manually like this: GOTESTS='slow' go test ./... -v -cover -json | tparse -all
