Describe the bug

Testing in VScode isn't working for me. Running go test -timeout 45s -run ^TestComparison$ git.profects.com/agro4all/comparison-api/handler in my terminal works without any issue:
ok git.profects.com/agro4all/comparison-api/handler 0.425s

But when I press Run test inside VSCode it fails with an error.
The same error occurs when testing via the integrated terminal.

I am not sure whether this is a problem on my side but the test succeeds when running in my terminal, which is weird. Thanks for the help in advance.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

@PieterVoorwinden It looks like, VSCode is using go1.15.6, not go1.16beta1.
macOS on arm64 support is available only from go1.16.

Either open the code in the right PATH environment variable - the extension host searches PATH to find the go, or switch the go version to go1.16beta1 using Go: Choose Go Environment UI.

PieterVoorwinden · 2021-01-08T08:38:15Z

@hyangah I've got this MacBook since 2 days and I'm sure I only installed Go 1.16beta1. See this screenshot. It says 1.16beta1 in the corner left below and to use Go 1.15 I've to go get it.

hyangah · 2021-01-08T13:50:04Z

@PieterVoorwinden Thanks for the screenshot. Looks like the go extension was confused and lying.
It's pointing to the homebrew installed go1.15.6 while showing go1.16beta1 as the version. Don't know how 🤔

How did you install go1.16beta1 and where is the path?
What is the output of the following commands from the terminal outside of vscode
which go
go version
/opt/homebrew/bin/go version
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/go/1.15.6/libexec/bin/go version

PieterVoorwinden · 2021-01-08T14:56:59Z

@hyangah I installed go with brew install go. Maybe the 1.15.6 is coming from here? Not sure tho, I'm new to Homebrew.

Output from Iterm:

hyangah · 2021-01-12T21:28:43Z

@PieterVoorwinden Thanks. That's so strange. Can you whare with me how to install go1.16beta1 using homebrew?

And, can you run the go build command -x -v flags from the integrated terminal (where you observed the issue) and the terminal (where the test runs successfully? I hope that gives us some hint.

Edit: Looks like homebrew is doing something funny for arm CPU - so, the version mismatch is a redherring. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/736c68b16a9df5c45ac6cd043fe30aaa9847cb80/Formula/go.rb#L7-L10
But still the test build error message looks like a bug caused by incorrect goos/goarch.

PieterVoorwinden · 2021-01-13T09:19:33Z

@hyangah here is the output for go build -x -v:
integrated_terminal.txt
iterm.txt

It indeed looks like the 1.15.6 version is coming from the Homebrew repository. I literally ran brew install go. This is the output when I reinstall go:

It's indeed the 1.16 beta installed at the go 1.15.6 location.

PieterVoorwinden · 2021-01-13T14:07:26Z

@hyangah It somehow doesn't fail in every project:

This is a different project but the test in VS Code does succeed. Thoughts?

hyangah · 2021-01-13T20:28:48Z

@PieterVoorwinden Thanks for providing the info. We think this is because VSCode is an x86 binary - if the ancestor process is for x86, child processes default to x86 which confuses the C compiler later. A workaround suggested is to explicitly specify the arch. Can you try
CC="clang -arch arm64" go build from the integrated terminal and see if the build succeeds?

The other project succeeds probably because that doesn't involve cgo.

hyangah · 2021-01-14T15:59:52Z

Re: 'go1.15.6' string in the trace: Homebrew/homebrew-core#69000 will not be fixed - it requires a bigger change in their CI, and go 1.16 release is not too far away I hope.

It looks like vscode M1 support will be included in the next release (microsoft/vscode#106770) and the insider version is available for download (https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/).

Change https://golang.org/cl/283812 mentions this issue: cmd/dist, cmd/go: pass -arch for C compilation on Darwin by default

On Apple Silicon Mac, the C compiler has an annoying default target selection, depending on the ancestor processes' architecture. In particular, if the shell or IDE is x86, when running "go build" even with a native ARM64 Go toolchain, the C compiler defaults to x86, causing build failures. We pass "-arch" flag explicitly to avoid this situation. Fixes #43692. Fixes #43476. Updates golang/vscode-go#1087.
