go.nvim

A modern go neovim plugin based on treesitter, nvim-lsp and dap debugger. It is written in Lua and async as much as possible. PR & Suggestions welcome. The plugin covers most features required for a gopher.

• Perproject setup. Allows you setup plugin behavior per project based on project files(launch.json, .gonvim)
• Async jobs with libuv
• Syntax highlight & Texobject: Native treesitter support is faster and more accurate. All you need is a theme support treesitter, try aurora, starry.nvim. Also, there are quite a few listed in awesome-neovim
• All the GoToXxx (E.g reference, implementation, definition, goto doc, peek code/doc etc) You need lspconfig setup. There are lots of posts on how to set it up. You can also check my navigator gopls setup lspconfig.lua
• gopls commands: e.g. fillstruct, organize imports, list modules, list packages, gc_details, generate etc.
• Runtime lint/vet/compile: Supported by lsp (once you setup up your lsp client), GoLint with golangci-lint also supported
• Build/Make/Test: Go.nvim provides supports for these by an async job wrapper.
• Test coverage: run test coverage and show coverage sign and function metrics
• Dlv Debug: with nvim-dap and Dap UI. Go adapter included, zero config for your debug setup.
• Load vscode launch configuration
• Unit test: generate unit test framework with gotests. Run test with richgo/ginkgo/gotestsum/go test
• Add and remove tag for struct with tag modify(gomodifytags)
• Code format: Supports LSP format and GoFmt(with golines)
• CodeLens : gopls codelens and codelens action support
• Comments: Add autodocument for your package/function/struct/interface. This feature is unique and can help you suppress golint errors...
• Go to alternative go file (between test and source)
• Test with ginkgo, richgo inside floaterm (to enable floaterm, guihua.lua has to be installed)
• Code refactor made easy: GoFixPlural, FixStruct, FixSwitch, Add comment, IfErr, ModTidy, GoGet, extract function/block with codeactions... Most of the tools are built on top of treesitter AST or go AST. Fast and accurate.
• GoCheat get go cheatsheet from cheat.sh.
• Smart build tag detection when debug/run tests (e.g. //go:build integration)
• Generate mocks with mockgen
• Inlay hints: gopls (version 0.9.x or greater) inlay hints
• luasnip: go.nvim included a feature rich luasnips you definitally need to try.

Installation

Use your favorite package manager to install. The dependency treesitter (and optionally, treesitter-objects) should be installed the first time you use it. Also Run TSInstall go to install the go parser if not installed yet. sed is recommand to run this plugin.

vim-plug

Plug 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
Plug 'ray-x/go.nvim'
Plug 'ray-x/guihua.lua' ; recommended if need floating window support

packer.nvim

use 'ray-x/go.nvim'
use 'ray-x/guihua.lua' -- recommended if need floating window support
use 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
use 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'

lazy.nvim

{
  "ray-x/go.nvim",
  dependencies = {  -- optional packages
    "ray-x/guihua.lua",
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
  },
  config = function()
    require("go").setup()
  end,
  event = {"CmdlineEnter"},
  ft = {"go", 'gomod'},
  build = ':lua require("go.install").update_all_sync()' -- if you need to install/update all binaries
}

The go.nvim load speed is fast and you can enable it by default

Make sure the $GOPATH/bin path is added to your $PATH environment variable. To check this you can run

echo $PATH | grep "$GOPATH/bin"

If nothing shows up, you can add the following to your shell config file:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Add format in your vimrc.

lua <<EOF
local format_sync_grp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("GoFormat", {})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
  pattern = "*.go",
  callback = function()
   require('go.format').goimport()
  end,
  group = format_sync_grp,
})

EOF

To startup/setup the plugin

require('go').setup()

Screenshots

Add comments

Add/Remove tags

GoTest in floating term

Use:

:GoTermClose

To close the floating term.

refactor gorename

gorename as an alternative to gopls rename as it supports rename across packages Note: use with care Command: GoRename

code format

nvim-lsp support goimport by default.

autocmd BufWritePre (InsertLeave?) <buffer> lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync(nil,500)

The plugin provides code format, by default is goline + gofumpt (stricter version of gofmt)

Use following code to format go code

require("go.format").gofmt()  -- gofmt only
require("go.format").goimport()  -- goimport + gofmt

Format on save

To config format on save, add one of the following to your init.lua:

Run gofmt on save

-- Run gofmt on save

local format_sync_grp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("GoFormat", {})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
  pattern = "*.go",
  callback = function()
   require('go.format').gofmt()
  end,
  group = format_sync_grp,
})

Run gofmt + goimport on save

-- Run gofmt + goimport on save

local format_sync_grp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("GoImport", {})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
  pattern = "*.go",
  callback = function()
   require('go.format').goimport()
  end,
  group = format_sync_grp,
})

Auto fill

Note: auto fill struct also supported by gopls lsp-action

command	Description
GoFillStruct	auto fill struct
GoFillSwitch	fill switch
GoIfErr	Add if err
GoFixPlurals	change func foo(b int, a int, r int) -> func foo(b, a, r int)

GoFixPlurals Youtube video

package foo

import "io"

func Foo() (io.Reader, error) { // the cursor on this line to add if err statement
}

Textobject

Supported by treesitter. TS provided better parse result compared to regular expression. See the example treesitter config file on how to setup textobjects. Also with treesitter-objects, you can move, swap the selected blocks of codes, which is fast and accurate. go.nvim will load textobject with treesiteter, with default keybindings, if you what to set it up yourself, you can set textobject to false.

Go binaries install and update

The following go binaries are used in go.nvim (depends on your setup):

• gofumpt
• golines
• goimports
• gorename
• gomodifytags
• gotests
• iferr
• impl
• fillstruct
• fillswitch
• dlv
• ginkgo
• richgo
• gotestsum
• govulncheck
• goenum

If you run GoFmt and the configured binary (e.g. golines) was not installed, the plugin will install it for you. But the first run of GoFmt may fail. Recommended to run GoInstallBinaries to install all binaries before using the plugin.

command	Description
GoInstallBinary go_binary_name	use go install go_binary_url@latest to install tool, if installed will skip
GoUpdateBinary go_binary_name	use go install go_binary_url@latest Will force re-install/update if already installed, otherwise same as GoInstallBinary

GoPkgOutline

A symbole outline for all symbols (var, const, func, struct, interface etc) inside a package You can still use navigator or sidebar plugins (e.g. vista, symbols-outline) to check outline within a file. But it is more useful for go to check the symbols in a package, as those symbols are visuals inside package, also the method can be defined in different source file.

Command format: GoPkgOutline {options} options: -f: show in floatwing window (default side panel, both require quihua.lua) -p package_name: the package you want to list. e.g. GoPkgOutline -p json; default package is current file's package If guihua not installed fallback to loclist

LSP

Nvim-lsp is good enough for a gopher. If you looking for a better GUI. You can install navigator, or lspsaga, and lsp-utils etc. The goal of go.nvim is more provide unique functions releated to gopls instead of a general lsp gui client. The lsp config in go.nvim has a none default setup and contains some improvement and I would suggest you to use.

LSP cmp support

The latest version enabled lsp snippets (and other setups) by default. In case you need flowing the setup from cmp README.md, please use flowing command:

local capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())
require('go').setup({
  -- other setups ....
  lsp_cfg = {
    capabilities = capabilities,
    -- other setups
  },
})

LSP CodeLens

Gopls supports code lens. To run gopls code lens action GoCodeLenAct Note: codelens need to be enabled in gopls, check default config in

LSP CodeActions

You can use native code action provided by lspconfig. If you installed guihua, you can also use a GUI version of code action GoCodeAction

Lint

Supported by LSP, also GoLint command (by calling golangcl-lint) if you need background golangci-lint check, you can configure it with ALE

Debug with dlv

Setup(adapter) for go included. Need Dap and Dap UI plugin nvim-dap nvim-dap-ui GDB style key mapping is used

Keymaps

key	Description
c	continue
n	next
s	step
o	stepout
S	cap S: stop debug
u	up
D	cap D: down
C	cap C: run to cursor
b	toggle breakpoint
P	cap P: pause
p	print, hover value (also in visual mode)

Moving from vscode-go debug

Please check Vscode Launch configurations for more info go.nvim support launch debuger from vscode-go .vscode/launch.json configurations If launch.json is valid, run GoDebug will launch from the launch.json configuration.

Inlay hints

Command

• GoToggleInlay

Note:

Please use jsonls/null-ls check your launch.json is valid json file. Following syntax is not supported

• Trailing comma
• Comment

Here is a sample launch.json

Json to Go struct

• ["x]GoJson2Struct! Visual select the json and run GoJson2Struct youStructName -bang will put result to register a if ["x] specified, will put get json from clipboard

Load Env file

• GoEnv {filename} By default load .env file in current directory, if you want to load other file, use {filename} option

Generate return value

• GoGenReturn

create return value for current function e.g. if we have

func Foo() (int, error) {
  return 1, nil
}

and in your code you cursor on Foo

Foo()

will generate

i, err := Foo()
if err != nil {
  return
}

Rename modules

• Gomvp Rename module name in under cursor e.g. Gomvp Gomvp old_mod_name Gomvp old_mod_name new_mod_name

govulncheck

• GoVulnCheck {arguments} Run govulncheck on current project

goenum

• Goenum {arguments} Run goenum on current project

Debug Commands

Command	Description
GoDebug	Start debugger, to debug test, run GoDebug test, to add addition args run GoDebug arg1 arg2
GoDebugConfig	Open launch.json file
GoBreakSave	save all breakpoints to project file
GoBreakLoad	load all breakpoints from project file
GoBreakToggle	toggle break point
BreakCondition	conditional break point
ReplRun	dap repl run_last
ReplToggle	dap repl toggle

Required DAP plugins

The plugin will setup debugger. But you need to install

• dap

  • 'mfussenegger/nvim-dap'

• dap ui (optional)

  • 'rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui'

• dap virtual text (optional)

  • 'theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text'

  on_exit = function(code, signal, output)  _, _, _ = code, signal, output  end, -- callback for jobexit, output : string
})

You will need to add keybind yourself: e.g

  vim.cmd("autocmd FileType go nmap <Leader><Leader>l GoLint")
  vim.cmd("autocmd FileType go nmap <Leader>gc :lua require('go.comment').gen()")

Project setup

go.nvim allow you override your setup by a project file. Put .gonvim/init.lua in your root folder. It is a small lua script and will be run durning go.setup(). The return value is used to override go.nvim setup. The sample project setup. You can check the youtube video here on how to use this feature.

-- .gonvim/init.lua project config
vim.g.null_ls_disable = true

return {
  go = "go", -- set to go1.18beta1 if necessary
  goimport = "gopls", -- if set to 'gopls' will use gopls format, also goimport
  fillstruct = "gopls",
  gofmt = "gofumpt", -- if set to gopls will use gopls format
  max_line_len = 120
  null_ls_document_formatting_disable = true
}

This will override your global go.nvim setup

Text object

I did not provide textobject support in the plugin. Please use treesitter textobject plugin. My treesitter config:

  require "nvim-treesitter.configs".setup {
    incremental_selection = {
      enable = enable,
      keymaps = {
        -- mappings for incremental selection (visual mappings)
        init_selection = "gnn", -- maps in normal mode to init the node/scope selection
        node_incremental = "grn", -- increment to the upper named parent
        scope_incremental = "grc", -- increment to the upper scope (as defined in locals.scm)
        node_decremental = "grm" -- decrement to the previous node

LuaSnip supports

go.nvim provides a better snippet support for go. Please check snippets for all languages and snippets for go

For a video demo, please check this: go.nvim new features work through

If you are not familiar with luasnip, please checkout LuaSnip Tutorial and TJ's Introduction to LuaSnip

Nvim LSP setup

go.nvim provided a better non-default setup for gopls (includes debounce, staticcheck, diagnosticsDelay etc)

This gopls setup provided by go.nvim works perfectly fine for most of the cases. You can also install navigator.lua which can auto setup all lsp clients and provides a better GUI.

For diagnostic issue, you can use the default setup. There are also quite a few plugins that you can use to explore issues, e.g. navigator.lua, folke/lsp-trouble.nvim. Nvim-tree and Bufferline also introduced lsp diagnostic hooks.

Integrate with mason-lspconfig

require("mason").setup()
require("mason-lspconfig").setup()
require('lspconfig').go.setup({
  gopls_cmd = {install_root_dir .. '/go/gopls'},
  fillstruct = 'gopls',
  dap_debug = true,
  dap_debug_gui = true
})

If you want to use gopls setup provided by go.nvim

-- setup your go.nvim
-- make sure lsp_cfg is disabled
require("mason").setup()
require("mason-lspconfig").setup()
require('go').setup{
  lsp_cfg = false
  -- other setups...
}
local cfg = require'go.lsp'.config() -- config() return the go.nvim gopls setup

require('lspconfig').go.setup(cfg)

Integrate null-ls

The plugin provides:

• gotest LSP diagnostic source for null-ls
• golangci_lint A async version of golangci-lint null-ls lint
• gotest_action LSP test code action for null-ls

Gotest allow you run go test <package> when you save your go file and add diagnostics to nvim

local null_ls = require("null-ls")
local sources = {
  null_ls.builtins.diagnostics.revive,
  null_ls.builtins.formatting.golines.with({
    extra_args = {
      "--max-len=180",
      "--base-formatter=gofumpt",
    },
  })
}
-- for go.nvim
local gotest = require("go.null_ls").gotest()
local gotest_codeaction = require("go.null_ls").gotest_action()
local golangci_lint = require("go.null_ls").golangci_lint()
table.insert(sources, gotest, golangci_lint)
table.insert(sources, gotest_codeaction)
null_ls.setup({ sources = sources, debounce = 1000, default_timeout = 5000 })

-- alternatively
null_ls.register(gotest)

You will see the failed tests flagged

Sample vimrc

The following vimrc will enable all features provided by go.nvim

set termguicolors
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
Plug 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'

Plug 'mfussenegger/nvim-dap'
Plug 'rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui'
Plug 'theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text'
Plug 'ray-x/guihua.lua' " float term, codeaction and codelens gui support

Plug 'ray-x/go.nvim'

call plug#end()

lua <<EOF
require 'go'.setup({
  goimport = 'gopls', -- if set to 'gopls' will use golsp format
  gofmt = 'gopls', -- if set to gopls will use golsp format
  max_line_len = 120,
  tag_transform = false,
  test_dir = '',
  comment_placeholder = '   ',
  lsp_cfg = true, -- false: use your own lspconfig
  lsp_gofumpt = true, -- true: set default gofmt in gopls format to gofumpt
  lsp_on_attach = true, -- use on_attach from go.nvim
  dap_debug = true,
})

local protocol = require'vim.lsp.protocol'

EOF

This will setup gopls with non default configure provided by go.nvim (Includes lspconfig default keymaps)
