the debugging tool is ignoring the go.buildTags parameter

[ilosc]

The debugging tool seems to be ignoring the value of the parameter go.buildTags. Running test functions does consider it, though. Using the file launch.json I can solve this problem by setting the buildFlags parameter, but I'd like to use codelens, which are quicker. Is this a bug?

We can add the values of go.buildFlags and go.testFlags settings (which combined get used when running tests) to the buildFlags parameter of the debug config that gets used by the codelens.

Thats pretty easy to do.
Use https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/src/goTest.ts#L309 to get the flags and pass it to the debug config being formed here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/src/goRunTestCodelens.ts#L78

PRs are welcome if anyone wants to give this a try.

This feature is now out in the latest update to the Go extension 0.6.64

The debug code lens will now honor the go.buildFlags, go.buildTags and go.testFlags settings.

I'm using the extension 0.6.65 and I'm still having problems. Specifically, I need to use the "fts5" module of SQLite. To this end, in the workspace settings file, I'm including "go.testFlags" as follows:

"go.testFlags": ["-tags", "fts5"]

I'm also including the line:

"go.buildTags": "fts5"

However, when I run tests using codelens, the "fts5" module fails to load.

@ijlopez02

Do you need to use it both for testing and normal building, then don't include it in test flags, just use
"go.buildTags": "fts5"

[ilosc]

Sorry, running tests using codelens works. What is still failing me is debugging through codelens.

[ramya-rao-a]

So are you using go.testFlags or go.buildTags ?

[ilosc]

I'm using "go.buildTags". I've defined the option within both the user-serttings and the workspace-settings files (just to be sure). I've also tried other options and combinations, but debugging using codelens seems to be ignoring them:

 no such module: fts5

Running tests using codelens is generating the correct command, though.

 go test -timeout 30s -tags fts5 -run ^Test...$

@ijlopez02 In the latest update to the Go extension, the buildTags will be used by the debug code lens correctly
Thanks @ka2n for the fix!

Great! Thank you both very much @ramya-rao-a and @ka2n
