1.Run go env -w GO111MODULE=on //enable mod
Run go env -w GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn,direct //set proxy
2. Go to GOPATH directory, create src/golang.org/x/ directory, go to src/golang.org/x/ directory
git clone https://github.com/golang/tools.git
git clone https://github.com/golang/lint.git
3.Then you can install the go plugin in vscode as prompted (odds are it still won't work)
So you need to execute the following command in the terminal of %GOPATH%/src directory
go get -u -v github.com/mdempsky/gocode
go get -u -v github.com/uudashr/gopkgs/cmd/gopkgs
go get -u -v github.com/ramya-rao-a/go-outline
go get -u -v github.com/acroca/go-symbols
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename
go get -u -v github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv
go get -u -v github.com/stamblerre/gocode
go get -u -v github.com/rogpeppe/godef
go get -u -v github.com/sqs/goreturns
go get -u -v golang.org/x/lint/golint
go get -u -v github.com/cweill/gotests/...
go get -u -v github.com/fatih/gomodifytags
go get -u -v github.com/josharian/impl
go get -u -v github.com/davidrjenni/reftools/cmd/fillstruct
go get -u -v github.com/haya14busa/goplay/cmd/goplay
go get -u -v github.com/godoctor/godoctor
4.There may still be errors after performing the above steps, just follow the instructions prompted by vscode to fix them.
Note: There may be problems with the following:
Error: go: cannot find main module; see 'go help modules'
Solution go env -w GO111MODULE=off
GO111MODULE There are three values: off, on and auto (default).
GO111MODULE=off, no module support, find dependencies from $GOPATH and vendor folders.
GO111MODULE=on, with module support, go ignores the $GOPATH and vendor folders and only downloads dependencies based on go.mod.
GO111MODULE=auto, the go command line will decide whether to enable the modules feature based on the current directory.
There are two scenarios.
module support is enabled when the project is outside of $GOPATH/src and the project root directory has a go.mod file.
the project is inside $GOPATH/src and module support is not provided even if the go.mod file exists.
