Go with Bazel for Visual Studio Code

This version of the VS Code Go extension adds support for test, debug, and coverage using Bazel.

This is the Uber Go with Bazel extension (uber.go-bazel), which replaces the VS Code Go extension (golang.go). Both cannot be used at the same time. If you have installed both extensions, you must disable or uninstall one of them. For further guidance, read the documentation on how to disable an extension.

Getting Started

• This version includes all features of the upstream version, with added Bazel functionality. Please disable the version from the VS Code Marketplace (golang.go) in order to avoid conflicts.
• Update the following settings:
  • "go.testExplorer.indexEntireWorkspace": false (improves performance when working in a monorepo)
  • "go.testExplorer.useBazel": true (test and debug commands will use Bazel instead of the native Go toolchain)
• To use Bazel for testing and debugging, open any *_test.go file, then navigate to the testing view. Click on the test or debug buttons for a package, file, or test case to get started.
• To collect code coverage, toggle the Coverage Enabled / Coverage Disabled status bar button, then run the tests. Highlighting will appear on applicable files.

Other Info

• This version has all features and settings of the upstream Go extension (currently up to version 0.39.1).
