* Description
This layer adds extensive support for go.
** Features:
- gofmt/goimports on file save
- Auto-completion using [[https://github.com/nsf/gocode/tree/master/emacs][go-autocomplete]] (with the =auto-completion= layer)
- Source analysis using [[https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru][go-guru]]
- Linting with flycheck's built-in checkers or flycheck-gometalinter
- Coverage profile visualization
* Install
** Pre-requisites
You will need =gocode= and =godef=:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
go get -u -v github.com/nsf/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
#+END_SRC
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]]
Make sure that =gocode= executable is in your PATH. For information about
setting up =$PATH=, check out the corresponding section in the FAQ (~SPC h SPC
$PATH RET~).
For best results, make sure that the =auto-completion= and =syntax-checking=
layers are enabled as well.
** 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
By default, go buffers are run through =gofmt= on save. 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
** 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
** Tests
If you're 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=.
** Guru
Go Oracle has been deprecated as of October 1, 2016, it's 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.
* Working with Go
