gb support

[anidotnet]

This extension is great for go development, but it would be better if we have built in support for gb tool. Recently more and more projects are using gb for building and vendor management. Can we expect the same for near future?

If you go to File -> Preferences -> Workplace Settings, you can override the GOPATH for the current project. Thus, you can configure your GOPATH on a project basis. A typical gb project is as follows:

/myGbProject
  /src
  /vendor
    /src

If you set your GOPATH to "/full/path/to/myGbProject:/full/path/to/myGbProject/vendor" and reload VS Code, everything starts working swimmingly. :)

PS: Don't use tilde in the path.

Thanks @c3mb0. I don't use Gb myself, but that definitely sounds like it should work.

Note also that as of #261, which was merged today, you can configure this even more simply in your .vscode/settings.json in your myGbProject folder:

{
  "go.gopath": "${workspaceRoot}:${workspaceRoot}/vendor"
}

@anidotnet Please reopen if you see problems even after configuring your per-project GOPATH.

@lukehoban How does one specify to build with the gb tool instead of the standard go build?
