A quick fix to the problem of VSCode failing to install GO plug ins in MacOS

Problem reproduction

[

Installing golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru FAILED
Installing golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename FAILED
Installing golang.org/x/lint/golint FAILED
Installing github.com/stamblerre/gocode FAILED

4 tools failed to install.

]

VS COde opens the.go file to automatically install the plug-in, but 1 tool download failed.

Replacing the global agent is also not available.

I found a lot of tutorials, but maybe the directory has changed due to some version 1 issues, which caused Uka to stay here for a long time. Especially github. com/stamblerre/gocode.

To solve

The following actions are based on $GOPATH In this path, go in MacOS $GOPATH Can be typed at the terminal go env View the & # 8203; $GOPATH Position.

I the $GOPATH Position in /Users/Apple/go , be careful to switch to your own $GOPATH In the.
1. Create a directory golang.org\x , and enter the clone tools repository in the directory.

$ cd /Users/Apple/go/src 
$ mkdir -p golang.org/x && cd golang.org/x 
$ git clone https://github.com/golang/tools.git tools 
$ git clone https://github.com/golang/lint.git 
$ ls 
lint tools

2, back to the $GOPATH Directory to install plug-ins

$ cd /Users/Apple/go 
$ sudo go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru 
$ sudo go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename 
$ sudo go install golang.org/x/lint/golint

Create a directory github.com , and go to the clone tool repository in the directory.

$ cd /Users/Apple/go/src 
$ sudo mkdir -p github.com/stamblerre $$ cd github.com/stamblerre 
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/stamblerre/gocode.git 
$ ls 
gocode

4. Go back to the $GOPATH directory and install the plug-in

$ cd /Users/Apple/go 
$ sudo go install github.com/stamblerre/gocode

After all 4 plug-ins are installed, open an arbitrary.go file with VS Code, and the installation will not fail.
