Go to definition don't work when doing "dot" import

[charlires]

When using dot import, go to definition of a function doesn't work

e.i.

import "github.com/user/pkg"
pkg.Foo() // Works

import . "github.com/user/pkg"
Foo() // Fails

Hope this is enough explanation, I'll add more if needed.

Please see #496 which is tracking the exact same issue

By default, godef is used by the Go extension to provide Go to Definition feature which doesn't work with dot imports.

Add to your settings "go.docsTool": "gogetdoc" to use gogetdoc instead or "go.useLanguageServer": true to use the new experimental language server feature

Thank you @ramya-rao-a

Thanks @ramya-rao-a, "go.docsTool": "gogetdoc" works great after installing gogetdoc by running:
go get github.com/zmb3/gogetdoc

Go to definition was failing silently with this setting before I realised I needed to manually install gogetdoc.

@paulcalcraft Yes, I noticed the failing silently part recently and fixed with 2e56371

Will be releasing an update soon

@ramya-rao-a in 1.92 mac ,Go to definition was failing silently. Where did I go wrong? Thanks

[ramya-rao-a]

@unix2dos Are you seeing the Go to definition feature failing only for dot imports or for all cases?

[unix2dos]

@ramya-rao-a Go to definition feature failing only for dot imports. other cases are ok.
my config and install them all

    "go.useLanguageServer": true,
    "go.docsTool": "gogetdoc",

[ramya-rao-a]

@unix2dos You are using the language server which doesnt give the definition for dot imports. I have logged sourcegraph/go-langserver#227
