Error while setting up on environment on windows 10 - Help needed

[MattMattV]

I have the same problem as you, all the env set up, all the env vars set but vscode keep saying me "goxxx is not installed please run..."

I suggest you to modify the path you supply in your user config file from "go.gopath": "F:\Data\Projects\GO\src" to "go.gopath": "F:\\Data\\Projects\\GO\\src", backslashes need to be escaped ! (:

[lukehoban]

Yes - string literals in the settings file need to use escaped backslashes. You should see an error reported in your settings file about the literal not being valid.

[MattMattV]

That didn't resolved the problem, I'm. in the same case, string is formatted as it should but it's not working..
Should the go.gopath points to the directory where all the utilities are installed ?

[lukehoban]

The go.gopath should point to the same place as you GOPATH.

Could you share OS, go env and result of Go: current gopath?

[MattMattV]

I'm using W10 Pro

This is the result of go env :

set GOARCH=amd64
set GOBIN=
set GOEXE=.exe
set GOHOSTARCH=amd64
set GOHOSTOS=windows
set GOOS=windows
set GOPATH=E:\GoWorkspace
set GORACE=
set GOROOT=E:\Go
set GOTOOLDIR=E:\Go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64
set GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=
set CC=gcc
set GOGCCFLAGS=-m64 -mthreads -fmessage-length=0
set CXX=g++
set CGO_ENABLED=1

Result of : Go: current gopath :
No handler found for the command: 'go.gopath'

Thanks for caring !

@Mistermatt007 Two things:

1. Can you open a .go file before running Go: Current GOPATH?
2. How is your GOPATH set up? Do you have this in your system or user environment globally? Or do you set it locally in a command shell?

[MattMattV]

1. WIth a file open Go: Current GOPATH returns : Current GOPATH:E:\GoWorkspace
2. GOPATH, and GOROOT are set up system-wide, not in a command shell

[lukehoban]

@Mistermatt007 Okay thanks. And what exactly do you see then? Does "Analysis Tools Missing" show in the bottom right? What happens if you click it? What is the contents of your e:\GoWorkspace\bin folder? Have you tried running the go get commands that the popups suggest manually in your shell, what do you see if you run those?

[JalpeshVadgama]

I have also updated my path in settings.json "F:\Data\Projects\GO\src" but still same error is there. Still its saying golint is not there.

The current Go:Current Path returns F:\Data\Projects\GO\src

And still this errors comes.

I am using windows 10 Single language.

[MattMattV]

Yes, "Analysis tools missing" was on the bottom, but when I clicked on it and accepted to install missing softwares, the output was blocked on

[MattMattV]

For some unknown reasons, now it's building fine, I don't know how...

[lukehoban]

FWIW - It's possible the issue you were seeing was related to this: microsoft/vscode#560 (comment).

[JalpeshVadgama]

@lukehoban - Now its working fine after adding Analysis tool!
