Is there an easy way to make this work with VSCode

[acgreek]

Using vanilla gotest testing, vscode is able to identify that a function is a test and provide link above the test function to run the test. By default, it does not do this for check.v1 test methods. Is there a way to make it work? If so, documentation would be nice

looked into this a little bit more and noticed there is still a test function up at the top that works with VScodes I can use to run all the tests in the suite. It would be nice to have a way to run the individual tests in the suite using that some ctrl-p action. Maybe, I will write an extension for this

We are using this, and one of my colleagues figured it out. Here is an example:

1. Build a test file with "go test -c". Lets say its in the location $GOPATH/src/examples/example.test

2. In vscode, go to "Run"->"Open Configurations" (or "Add Configuration")

Add something like this:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Example Suite",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "exec",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/examples/example.test",
            "args": [
                "--check.f=TestExample_001",
            ],
        },
    ]
}

3. Install dlv if needed
   go get -u github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv

4. Start Debugging (F5)

This vscode plugin[1] does what you want. It uses a regexp to lookup test locations and allows you to run a test from inside the editor.
