go-plus

An Improved Go Experience For The Atom Editor

• Github: https://github.com/joefitzgerald/go-plus
• Atom: https://atom.io/packages/go-plus

Overview

This package includes the following functionality:

• Display information about your current go installation, by running go version and go env
• Autocomplete using gocode
• Format your code with gofmt, goimports, or goreturns; optionally run one of these tools on save of any .go file
• Run go install . and go test -c -o {tempdir} . to verify your code compiles and to keep gocode suggestions up to date
• Run a variety of linters (e.g. golint, vet, etc.) against your code using gometalinter, revive or golangci-lint
• Run tests, display test output, and display test coverage using go test -coverprofile
• Display documentation for identifiers in source code using gogetdoc
• Rename the symbol under your cursor using gorename
• Go to definition using guru or godef
• Highlight occurrences of an identifier using guru
• Find usages of an identifier using guru

You can add debug functionality to Atom by installing the following package:

• go-debug: Debug your package / tests using delve

Builds

How Are The Builds Performed?

The following commands are run for the directory of the current file:

• go install . (for normal .go files)
• go test -o {tmpdir} -c . (for _test.go files)

Why Are You Running go install Instead Of go build?

gocode (and a few other tools, like gotype) work on .a files (i.e. the package object archive), and the way to keep these up to date is to run go install periodically. This ensures your autocomplete suggestions are kept up to date.

Platforms

The package has CI for OS X, Windows and Ubuntu.
