# A Go Language Server based on the Go Extension for Visual Studio Code



Wraps the VSCode Go extension from Microsoft into a language server, such that

its functionality can be reused with other LSP-aware clients.



In the first iteration we will mock VSCode APIs or simulate their behavior

backed by an LSP. We will maintain this as a fork of the original repository

such that we can easily pick up incoming improvements of that by just rebasing.

Once we got more confidence, we'd probably refactor the VSCode specific parts

away.



[Original README.md](README_old.MD).



## Mismatches and Challenges



- There is no such thing as the `activeTextEditor` in LSP. For services that

  have a `TextDocumentItem`, we set it before calling the service impl, but for

  other services, e.g. `executeCommand` we cannot make sure that they are

  performed on the correct document.

- We have to use/mock/adapt a lot of global variables



## Prerequisites



Make sure the `go` command is available from your path and that the GOPATH

environment variable points to where your go packages are installed.  Some go

packages are necessary:



```shell

go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode

go get -u -v github.com/uudashr/gopkgs/cmd/gopkgs

go get -u -v github.com/ramya-rao-a/go-outline

go get -u -v github.com/acroca/go-symbols

go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru

go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename

go get -u -v github.com/fatih/gomodifytags

go get -u -v github.com/haya14busa/goplay/cmd/goplay

go get -u -v github.com/josharian/impl

go get -u -v github.com/tylerb/gotype-live

```

## Build and usage



1. Run `npm install` to install the package dependencies.

2. Run `npm run compile` to compile the Typescript to Javascript.

3. Run the server with `node ./out/src-vscode-mock/cli.js --stdio`.
