Release 0.28.0

v0.28.0 - 16 Sep, 2021

This version requires VS Code 1.59 or newer.

🎉🧪 The extension implements the Testing API of VS Code. You can navigate and run/profile tests using the test explorer UI! Windows support and further work for better profiling and debugging support through the test explorer is underway. Please give it a try and provide feedback.

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.28.0 milestone and commit history.

Changes

• Require VS Code engine 1.59+.
• Implement the Testing API (Issue 1579).
  The test provider discovers all Go tests and benchmarks including stretchr test suits (Issue 1641) and sub-tests (Issue 1641). You can adjust behavior with the go.testExplorer.* settings.
• Offer basic profiling support through the testing API. (Issue 1685)
• Debugging
  • Allow to connect to a Delve DAP server running on a different host using host and port launch properties. (Issue 1729)
  • Disabled check for active debug session (Issue 1710). This will allow to run multiple debug sessions simultaneously.
  • Disabled the go version check by supplying the --check-go-version=false delve flag (Issue 1716). This is to allow users of older versions of Go to debug using Delve DAP which requires Delve 1.6.1 or newer. If you need to use Delve 1.6.0 or older, please use the legacy debug adapter.
  • Fixed a legacy debug adapter's bug that broke remote debugging when breakpoints were set in irrelevant files. (Issue 1762)
  • Added the new FAQs section.
• Removed tools version check hack that triggerred unnecessary warnings about go and tools version mismatch issues (Issue 1698).
• Export an API with which other extensions can query the location of go tools. (Issue 233)
• Fixed regexps for test function names (CL 344130).
• Track the language server's restart history and include it in the automated gopls crash report (CL 344130).
• Code Health
  • Use esbuild instead of webpack (Issue 1705).
  • Removed the temporary security workaround in favor of VS Code's Workspace Trust concept.
  • Updated the gopls settings documentation to reflect gopls/v0.7.2 settings.

Thanks

Special thanks to @firelizzard18 for the Test Explorer work!

Release 0.27.2

v0.27.2 - 1st Sep, 2021

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.27.2 milestone and commit history.

Enhancement

• Supports replay and core debug launch modes. (PR 1268)

Fixes

• Fixed issues around building binaries for debugging when symlinks or case-insensitive file systems are involved. (Issues 1680, 1677, 1713)
• Clarified the dlvLoadConfig setting is no longer necessary with the new debug adapter (dlv-dap). (CL 344370)
• Increased the timeout limit from 5sec to 30sec. If dlv-dap still fails to start, please check firewall/security settings do not prevent installation or execution of the dlv-dap (or dlv-dap.exe) binary. (Issue 1693)
• Go: Install/Update Tools command picks the dlv-dap from the main branch.

Release 0.27.0

v0.27.0 - 9 Aug, 2021

📣 Delve's native DAP implementation (dlv-dap) is enabled by default for local debugging. We updated the Documentation for Debugging to show the new features available with dlv-dap. This change does not apply to remote debugging yet. For remote debugging, keep following the instruction in the legacy debug adapter documentation.

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.27.0 milestone and [commit history](A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.26.0 milestone and commit history.

Enhancements

• The new go.terminal.activateEnvironment allows to prevent the extension from changing integrated terminal's environment variables. (Issue 1558, 1098)
• The Go: Locate Configured Go Tools command prints the build information of detected tools.
• Use dlv-dap as the default debug adapter for local debugging. The new debug adapter offers many new features and improvements.
• Added Gitpod to a recognized Cloud-based IDE, for which the extension will minimize the number of toast or notification messages. (Issue 1616)
• The Go: Subtest At Cursor command prompts for subtest name if there is no subtest at cursor (Issue 1602).

Fixes

• Debugging
  • Setting the logOutput property without showLog: true does not break debugging any more.
  • Fixed a bug in the legacy debug adapter that caused jumping at each step after upgrading to VS Code 1.58+. (Issue 1617, 1647)
  • Fixed a bug that broke Attach mode debugging using the legacy debug adapter if cwd is not set. (Issue 1608)
  • Made the dlv-dap mode ignore the port property. It was initially suggested as a temporary alternative
    to the remote debugging, but we decided to revisit the functionality for better remote debugging support.
    Use the debugServer property if you want to connect to a manually launched dlv dap server.

Code Health

• The version of dlv-dap is pinned to v1.7.1-0.20210804080032-f95340ae1bf9 and dlv-dap is marked as a required tool.
• Updated the hard-coded default gopls version string to v0.7.1.
• Added tools/relnotes, a script to help generate CHANGELOG.md.
• Added go1.17 RC to CI. (Issue 1640)
• Enabled tests that were skipped in dlv-dap mode since dlv-dap reached feature parity.
• Use StackOverflow as the channel for Q&A.

Thanks
