Replace installation pop up for every tool with a better user experience #998

Closed

Description

Currently, if user doesn't have the necessary Go tools installed, there is a pop up reminding the user to do the same when the extension performs an action that needs the Go tool.

This is not much of a problem in certain scenarios where user explicitly executes a command like

  • Find all references (guru)
  • Rename (gorename)
  • Add/delete tags (gomodifytags)
  • Generate test (gotests)
  • Find symbol in file (go-outline)
  • Find symbol in workspace (gosymbols)
  • Add import (gopkgs)

But simple actions like hover, typing, saving a file should not result in intrusive pop-ups.
Example below:

  • On hover, pop up for godef or gogetdoc based on the user preference for go.toolDocs
  • On save, pop up for golint or gometalinter based on the user preference for go.lintTool when go.lintOnSave is true
  • On save, pop up for goreturns, goimports or gofmt based on the user preference for go.formatTool when go.formatOnSave is true
  • On typing, pop up for gocode

This issue is to track a better user experience
