Go modules support in Visual Studio Code

This wiki page tracks the status of Go modules support in the Go extension for Visual Studio Code

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/24661 is the issue used by the Go tools team to track the update of Go modules support in various Go tools.

While that is in progress, the latest version of this extension has fixes for some of the features.

Features that work as of v0.6.91

Apart from what we have already achieved in v0.6.90, the below are available in the current beta version

• Code Coverage
• Clickable links in the test output to files where tests are failing.

Features that work as of v0.6.90

• Go to definition, symbol info on hover and Signature Help
  • These features will work as expected when the setting go.docsTool is set to gogetdoc.
  • You will be prompted to update gogetdoc
• Go to definition feature
  • If you havent changed the go.docsTool setting, you will be prompted to install a fork of godef that we are testing.
  • Note: This feature may be slower than usual because the fork depends on go list which itself is slower when using modules.
• Auto-completion.
  • You will be prompted to install a fork of gocode that we are testing as well as to update the gopkgs tool.
  • Currently it only works if the package is already imported and used atleast once.
  • Note: This feature may be slower than usual because the fork depends on go list which itself is slower when using modules.
• Go: Add Import & Go: Browse Packages commands
  • These commands will show the appropriate packages from the current module instead of GOPATH

To ensure you have the latest Go tools with the Go modules support, and follow the prompts to install/update the required tools.
