(go modules) gotype-live doesn't recognize imports in go modules

[tamasfe]

I'm posting the issue here because the gotype-live repo hasn't been touched for 2 years, and I don't know any other application that depends on it.

I would be more than happy to fix it, but it's beyond my knowledge at the moment. I believe the fix should be trivial for someone who knows his/her way around go compiling and package/module resolution though.

I'm using the latest beta of the extension.

repro steps:
Create a module outside GOPATH as usual, and enable live errors.

Thanks for reporting @tamasf97

I've logged tylerstillwater/gotype-live#3 to track this issue upstream.

@tylerb

Would you have some time to look into this?
This tool is being tracked in golang/go#24661 as well. So, folks from the Go tool team would be able to help if you have any questions working with modules.

[tylerstillwater]

I'll take a look, but I doubt I can do much at this point. gotype-live is effectively a fork of gotype with the ability to pass in the data for a working file via stdin. As such, I probably need to wait for gotype to be updated to work with go modules, then merge those changes into my fork.

[ramya-rao-a]

@tylerb Understood.

On a side note, can you resolve tylerstillwater/gotype-live#1?

[tylerstillwater]

Whoops! Not sure how that slipped by me. I resolved it.

Hi, are there some news about this issue? Thanks.

[tylerstillwater]

As it stands now, I'd say this feature/functionality is going to be/has been made obsolete by the new gopls language server system. @ramya-rao-a thoughts?

[ramya-rao-a]

That is true. When the diagnostics feature of the new language server gopls is enabled, it provides diagnostics on type.

Module users are suggested to use the language server already.

Can somebody here try the latest beta version of this extension. Here, the diagnostics feature of the language server will be used by default and the gotype-live tool will only be used in non-module and non language server scenarios

[naysolange]

I've installed gopls and still I have a non-recognized import. Any ideas?

[ramya-rao-a]

@nportas Your case seem to be unrelated to the issue at hand here. Please log a new issue with screenshots of the problem along with your Go related settings

[ramya-rao-a]

In the latest update (0.11.0) to the Go extension, gotypes-live will not be invoked when using Go modules or when using the diagnostics feature from the language feature
