Enze Chi 21c442050a Add go-run-args to pass command line arguments to go run
When executing the main function which requires command line arguments, user can
set `go-run-args` to pass command line arguments to compiled binary.

The example below demonstrates how to pass command line arguments by setting
`go-run-args` as file local variable:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	//Atoi converts a string to an int
	fmt.Println("Arguments:", os.Args)
	a, _ := strconv.Atoi(os.Args[1])
	b, _ := strconv.Atoi(os.Args[2])

	result := sum(a, b)
	fmt.Printf("The sum of %d and %d is %d\n", a, b, result)
}

func sum(a, b int) int {
	return a + b
}

// Local Variables:
// go-run-args: "10 5"
// End:

* Install
** Pre-requisites
You will need =gocode=, =gogetdoc=, =godef=, =godoctor= and many others
to get all the goodies of this layer:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u -v github.com/mdempsky/gocode
go get -u -v github.com/rogpeppe/godef
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gorename
go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
go get -u -v github.com/zmb3/gogetdoc
go get -u -v github.com/cweill/gotests/...
go get -u github.com/haya14busa/gopkgs/cmd/gopkgs
go get -u -v github.com/davidrjenni/reftools/cmd/fillstruct
go get -u github.com/josharian/impl
#+END_SRC
If you wish to use a linters aggregator tool, you can enable =gometalinter= or =golangci-lint=.
If you wish to use =gometalinter= set the value of =go-use-gometalinter= to t:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables go-use-gometalinter t)
#+END_SRC
and install the tool:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u -v github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter
gometalinter --install --update
#+END_SRC
For more information read [[https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter/blob/master/README.md][gometalinter README.md]]
and [[https://github.com/favadi/flycheck-gometalinter/blob/master/README.md][flycheck-gometalinter README.md]]
If you wish to use =golangci-lint= set the value of =go-use-golangci-lint= to t:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables go-use-golangci-lint t)
#+END_SRC
and install the tool:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint
#+END_SRC
For more information read [[https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint][golangci-lint README.md]]
and [[https://github.com/weijiangan/flycheck-golangci-lint][flycheck-golangci-lint README.md]]
If you wish to use =godoctor= for refactoring, install it too:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u -v github.com/godoctor/godoctor
go install github.com/godoctor/godoctor
#+END_SRC
If you want to use =gomodifytags= to edit field tags, install it too:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u -v github.com/fatih/gomodifytags
#+END_SRC
Make sure that the =gocode= executable is in your PATH. For information about
setting up =$PATH=, check out the corresponding section in the FAQ (~SPC h f
$PATH RET~).
For best results, make sure that the =auto-completion= and =syntax-checking=
layers are enabled as well.
** LSP backend
To enable the LSP backend set the layer variable =go-backend=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(go :variables go-backend 'lsp)
#+END_SRC
You also need to install the Go Language Server.
Consult the installation command for the desired language server found at [[https://www.github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/][lsp-mode]] for instructions.
Backend can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=go-mode= backend:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((go-mode (go-backend . go-mode)))
#+END_SRC
*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =go= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
* Configuration
To run =gofmt= before save, set the value to a non-nil, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq go-format-before-save t)
#+END_SRC
To use a different formatter, set the value of =gofmt-command=, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq gofmt-command "goimports")
#+END_SRC
or
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables gofmt-command "goimports")
#+END_SRC
To run current main package with command line arguments, set the value of
=go-run-args= as file local variable, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
// Local Variables:
// go-run-args: "--output run.log"
// End:
#+END_SRC
** Indentation
By default, the tab width in Go mode is 8 spaces. To use a different value set
the layer variable =go-tab-width=, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables go-tab-width 4)
#+END_SRC
If youre using =.editorconfig= in your project, set the value to nil to avoid
confliction, e.g.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables go-tab-width nil)
#+END_SRC
** Tests
If youre using =gocheck= in your project you can use the
=go-use-gocheck-for-testing= variable to enable suite testing and to get single
function testing to work.
=go-coverage-display-buffer-func= controls how =go-coverage= should display
the coverage buffer. See [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Choosing-Window.html][=display-buffer=]] for a list of possible functions.
The default value is =display-buffer-reuse-window=.
Tests are run in a compilation buffer displayed in a popup window that can be
closed by pressing ~C-g~ from any other window. The variable
=go-test-buffer-name= can be customized to set the output buffer name.
To provide additional arguments to go test, specify =go-use-test-args=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables go-use-test-args "-race -timeout 10s"
#+END_SRC
** Guru
Go Oracle has been deprecated as of October 1, 2016, its replacement is =go-guru=.
If you would like to use the =goguru= bindings in your work, you will need to
install it, and in your project you will need to set the scope with ~SPC m f o~.
The scope is a comma separated set of packages, and =go=s recursive operator is
supported. In addition, you can prefix with =-= to exclude a package from
searching.
In addition, =GOPATH= must be set prior to =go-guru= initialization.
** Autocomplete
For auto-completion there are actually two choices. First there is the classic =gocode=.
This has been around for quite a long time now, however =gocode= has many shortcomings like
not being able to show documentation for build-in objects or being fully dependent on installed binary
files to provide its suggestions.
A more modern and complete solution is provided by =gogetdoc= which is able to
precisely detect all documentations in your go projects independent on where
they have been added. This is also the choice recommended from =go-mode.el=.
To choose =gocode= nothing more needs to be done. To use =gogetdoc= you need to set
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(go :variables godoc-at-point-function 'godoc-gogetdoc)
#+END_SRC
in your =dotfile=.
If you choose to use =gocode= there are some suggestions to improve its results.
As =gocode= uses the output from installed binary files to provide its suggestions.
You have a few options to ensure you always get up to date suggestions:
- Run =go install ./...= in your package directory when you make a file change.
- Run =gocode set autobuild true= to have gocode attempt to run =go install ./...=
for you.
- You can configure your task runner to run =go install ./...= command on every
file change.
