# nvim-dap-go
An extension for [nvim-dap][1] providing configurations for launching go debugger (delve) and debugging individual tests.
## Features
- Auto launch Delve. No configuration needed. You just have to have `dlv` in your path.
- Run just the closest test from the cursor in debug mode (uses treesitter). See [debugging individual tests](#debugging-individual-tests) section below for more details.
- Configuration to attach nvim-dap and Delve into a running process and start a debug session.
- Configuration to start a debug session in the main function.
- Configuration to run tests in a debug session.
## Pre-reqs
- Neovim >= 0.9.0
- [nvim-dap][1]
- [delve][2] >= 1.7.0
This plugin extension make usage of treesitter to find the nearest test to debug.
Make sure you have the Go treesitter parser installed.
If using [nvim-treesitter][3] plugin you can install with `:TSInstall go`.
## Installation
- Install like any other neovim plugin:
- If using [vim-plug][4]: `Plug 'leoluz/nvim-dap-go'`
- If using [packer.nvim][5]: `use 'leoluz/nvim-dap-go'`
## Usage
### Register the plugin
Call the setup function in your `init.vim` to register the go adapter and the configurations to debug go tests:
```vimL
lua require('dap-go').setup()
```
### Configuring
It is possible to customize nvim-dap-go by passing a config table in the setup function.
The example below shows all the possible configurations:
```lua
lua require('dap-go').setup {
-- Additional dap configurations can be added.
-- dap_configurations accepts a list of tables where each entry
-- represents a dap configuration. For more details do:
-- :help dap-configuration
dap_configurations = {
{
-- Must be "go" or it will be ignored by the plugin
type = "go",
name = "Attach remote",
mode = "remote",
request = "attach",
},
},
-- delve configurations
delve = {
-- the path to the executable dlv which will be used for debugging.
-- by default, this is the "dlv" executable on your PATH.
path = "dlv",
-- time to wait for delve to initialize the debug session.
-- default to 20 seconds
initialize_timeout_sec = 20,
-- a string that defines the port to start delve debugger.
-- default to string "${port}" which instructs nvim-dap
-- to start the process in a random available port
port = "${port}",
-- additional args to pass to dlv
args = {},
-- the build flags that are passed to delve.
-- defaults to empty string, but can be used to provide flags
-- such as "-tags=unit" to make sure the test suite is
-- compiled during debugging, for example.
-- passing build flags using args is ineffective, as those are
-- ignored by delve in dap mode.
-- avaliable ui interactive function to prompt for arguments get_arguments
build_flags = {},
-- whether the dlv process to be created detached or not. there is
-- an issue on Windows where this needs to be set to false
-- otherwise the dlv server creation will fail.
-- avaliable ui interactive function to prompt for build flags: get_build_flags
detached = vim.fn.has("win32") == 0,
-- the current working directory to run dlv from, if other than
-- the current working directory.
cwd = nil,
},
-- options related to running closest test
tests = {
-- enables verbosity when running the test.
verbose = false,
},
}
```
### Use nvim-dap as usual
- Call `:lua require('dap').continue()` to start debugging.
- All pre-configured debuggers will be displayed for you to choose from.
- See `:help dap-mappings` and `:help dap-api`.
### Debugging individual tests
To debug the closest method above the cursor use you can run:
- `:lua require('dap-go').debug_test()`
Once a test was run, you can simply run it again from anywhere:
- `:lua require('dap-go').debug_last_test()`
It is better to define a mapping to invoke this command. See the mapping section below.
### Debugging with command-line arguments
1. Select the option `Debug (Arguments)`
1. Enter each argument separated by a space (i.e. `option1 option2 option3`)
1. Press enter
### Debugging with build flags
1. Register a new option to debug with build flags:
```lua
require('dap-go').setup {
dap_configurations = {
{
type = "go",
name = "Debug (Build Flags)",
request = "launch",
program = "${file}",
buildFlags = require("dap-go").get_build_flags,
},
},
})
```
2. To prompt for both build flags and arguments register the following:
```lua
require("dap-go").setup({
dap_configurations = {
{
type = "go",
name = "Debug (Build Flags & Arguments)",
request = "launch",
program = "${file}",
args = require("dap-go").get_arguments,
buildFlags = require("dap-go").get_build_flags,
},
}
})
```
3. To create a custom debugging configuration that requires an interactive prompt the following functions can be
attached to the args and buildFlags fields of dap_configurations.
- `require('dap-go').get_arguments`
- `require('dap-go').get_buid_flags`
### Debugging with dlv in headless mode
1. Register a new option to attach to a remote debugger:
```lua
lua require('dap-go').setup {
dap_configurations = {
{
type = "go",
name = "Attach remote",
mode = "remote",
request = "attach",
},
},
}
```
1. Start `dlv` in headless mode. You can specify subcommands and flags after `--`, e.g.,
```sh
dlv debug -l 127.0.0.1:38697 --headless ./main.go -- subcommand --myflag=xyz
```
1. Call `:lua require('dap').continue()` to start debugging.
1. Select the new registered option `Attach remote`.
## Mappings
```vimL
nmap td :lua require('dap-go').debug_test()
```
