gotype-live is reporting errors based off out-of-date file content

[Taik]

When using live error reporting, gotype-live sometimes returns errors based off out-of-date file content. It's very noticeable when switching between branches where an extra parameter was added to function/method signatures (in my case, I'm extending functions to take in context.Context).

My current setup:

VSCode: Version 1.11.2 (1.11.2)
vscode-go: Version 0.6.59 
vim: 0.6.18

Live error config:

"go.liveErrors": { "enabled": true, "delay": 500 }

That's weird. Live errors should really act on the live file :)

One thing to note is that live error reporting kicks in when you start making changes to the file.
Are you seeing this when you switch branches, but haven't edited the file yet?

I agree :)

Closing and opening the file does not display the errors right away, until I start typing.
The errors are not really related to the line at all, and for the most part points to another part of the code completely (another file). Here's an example:

I opened the file and created a new line (L280), and the error started showing up.

This is most likely related to the PR that was recently merged. This issue should go away once the next release of vscode-go comes out.

The next release would be early next week which will have the fix for the issue of errors from other files showing up in the current file.

@Taik if you don't mind can you side load the Go extension from master (See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/wiki/Building,-Debugging-and-Sideloading-the-extension-in-Visual-Studio-Code#sideloading-the-extension) to confirm that the fix in master fixes your issue?

I just gave it a try, and it seems like it fixed it. Thanks for the awesome plugin!

Thanks @Taik
The credit for the live-error feature goes to @tylerb :)

[ramya-rao-a]

Fix is out in the latest update (0.6.60)

[tylerstillwater]

Thanks much, @ramya-rao-a!!

I also have the problem in 0.6.62.

@wangxufire Please share a video/gif of the problem you are seeing. Preferably using a small simple code
