If you got a notification from this issue, then you are part of the next update to the Go extension.
Thanks and Welcome!

As most of you know already, I am the sole maintainer of this project at the moment. I wanted to try something different for this next update.

Here I will be listing the features and the bug fixes that will go in the next update along with the the folks who logged the bugs/feature requests, those who upvoted it, and those who fixed it by sending PRs.

The idea is to get the folks behind this update to give the update a trial run before I release it.
I always do basic testing before every update. But because I dont work with Go in my day job, I always feel that someone who does Go more than me can help in testing tremendously.

And when I say "test", you can do a minimum pass of just installing the update and then do nothing special other than going about using VS Code like you do everyday. Or you can test the feature you requested/implemented or the bug you logged/fixed. Or you can test all of the below. Every bit helps.

Drop in a comment in this issue after 2 or 3 days of installing the update with your findings.
Also, let me know in the comments what you think of this model of me asking your help in testing an update before releasing it.

To install the update,

• Download https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/Go-latest.vsix
• Run code --install-extension Go-latest.vsix
• If the above fails with Error: end of central directory record signature not found, then clone this repo and use the Go-latest.vsix file from the cloned repo
• Reload VS Code
