can't autoimport packages in vendor directories

[Hawken94]

I use glide and find that vscode can't autoimport packages in vendor directories . But it can autoimport packages in $GOPATH/src . I don't know the reason . Sorry for my bad english.

Try to restart vs-code after running glide. Maybe related to #1146

[Hawken94]

@airlanggacahya I try it but it doesn't work ( in my windows10) . I remember I can auto-import packages in vendor directories in my ubuntu 16 . I will try it on my ubuntu after I get back home at night .May it isn't a big problem . PS , it can auto-import packages in vendor directories when I use Gogland .

[Hawken94]

@airlanggacahya I tried . It can work on ubuntu 16.

@Hawken94 Do you still see this issue in Windows?

When you say auto-import, are you referring to adding the missing import statements when you format the file or save the file?

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a No, when I use the package(method) at the first time, vs code can't auto-import it's package in win10. Normally, when I write "println", it will import fmt package automatically. Sorry for my bad english again. But it can work in ubuntu 16. I don't know the reason.

@Hawken94 We have made some changes around completions for unimported packages. Can you try out the latest Go extension from source and see if that helps?

• Download https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/Go-latest.vsix
• Run code --install-extension Go-latest.vsix from the terminal
• Reload VS Code

@ramya-rao-a OK,I will try it now. Thank vs code! Thank Microsoft! Thank you for solving my problem.

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a Sorry, I took some time to try, but it still dosen't work. It is OK, I almost work on ubuntu16, so it's not a trouble. Thank you again! (windows 10 1703, vs code 1.16.1, go 1.9 ) This issue can be closed.

• I describe my problem again. When I glide init and glide get github.com/skip2/go-qrcode (e.g.) , I write "qrcode", the vscode didn't prompt and import the package. This is my problem. But in ubuntu, it has a nice prompt and will auto-import the package just like the built-in package.
• Thank you again! I can write import "github.com/skip2/go-qrcode" manually, so it's not a big problem.
  sorry for my bad english. I can say Chinese if necessary.
  This is my glide.yaml: (just for testing)

package: littlezz
import:

• package: github.com/skip2/go-qrcode
• package: github.com/gorilla/mux
  version: ^1.5.0

@Hawken94 Your English is fine, dont worry about it :)

But in ubuntu, it has a nice prompt and will auto-import the package just like the built-in package.

What prompt are you talking about here? Can you share a screenshot? Do you mean auto-completion?

Can you check your settings? Do you have go.autocompleteUnimportedPackages enabled in either ubuntu or windows?

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a Thank you for your praise!

This is in Ubuntu 16. Firstly,

Secondly, when I write "qrcode", vscode has a nice prompt. And then I press the Enter key, it auto-import the 'qrcode' package.

This is in Windows 10. The version of vscode-go is 0.6.66. I just upgrade it.

The setting is OK.

It doesn't work in windows 10.

As usual, it can auto-import the built-in packages and packages in GOPATH.

• This is my test. I don't know what will happen in your windows 10. If you can recurrent my issues, it can't be better.
• My gmail account is [email protected]. If you have other problem to ask, please contact with me.
• Happy mid-Autumn Festival!

Can you run Go: Browse Packages or Go: Add Import command and see if qrcode appears in the list?

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a When I run Go: Browse Packages command, 'qrcode' appears in the list. But Go: Add Import doesn't.

[ramya-rao-a]

Alright, I have a fix in.

Can you try the below to see if my fix works for you?

• Download https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/Go-latest.vsix
• Run code --install-extension Go-latest.vsix
• Reload VS Code

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a I had a try just now. It has a nice prompt. It works. Thank you very much!!!

[ramya-rao-a]

No problem, thanks for reporting the issue and Happy Coding!

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a I find another problem today. The functions or interfaces can't go to definition if they are in vendor directory .

[ramya-rao-a]

@Hawken94 that would be a separate issue. Try setting go.docsTool to gogetdoc in your settings

[Hawken94]

@ramya-rao-a When I set go.docsTool to gogetdoc, it can go to definition.But there is another question. When my mouse on the function, it can't show the definition.
Packages in GOPATH can show :）：

It doesn't work.

Thanks all the way. I think it is not a big problem ^_^

[ramya-rao-a]

@Hawken94 Try running gogetdoc from the command line/terminal. If you don't get the docs as expected, then log an issue at https://github.com/zmb3/gogetdoc
