Unable to parse correctly libraries for a different OS

[Nhoya]

Hi, I have a small issue with the latest version of the extension.

I'm unable to use the extension calling methods for other platforms since the function is not recognised

Steps to Reproduce:

On linux just create a file with:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"golang.org/x/sys/windows/registry"
)

func GetSystemInfo() error {

	k, err := registry.OpenKey(registry.LOCAL_MACHINE, `SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion`, registry.QUERY_VALUE)
	if err != nil {
		return (err)
	}
	defer k.Close()
	productName, _, err := k.GetStringValue("ProductName")
	if err != nil {
		return (err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%s\n", productName)
	return nil
}

func main() {
	err := GetSystemInfo()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

as you can see here the call to registry.OpenKey(registry.LOCAL_MACHINE, `SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion`, registry.QUERY_VALUE) is not recognised

building it manually using GOOS=windows will build succesfully

Ok I found out that the issue also affects the package creation, creating a file called myfile_windows.go and adding it to a new package will trigger an error can't load package: package my_project_path_here: build constraints exclude all Go files in my_project_path_here I suspect this may be related to golang/go#24068

In your first comment, did the file have the suffix _windows.go?

If no, then you have to set GOOS=windows specifically, otherwise there is no way for the editor to know which platform to use for GOOS

If yes, this issue is covered in #1848.

Yes you are indeed right, my issue is coverd in #1848 I think we can close this and continue there
