Generate stubs to implement interface, build/lint whole workspace and more..

0.6.62 - 9th June, 2017

Features

• Jamie Stackhouse (@itsjamie)
  • New command Go: Generate interface stub to generate stubs that implement given interface using impl. PR 939
    • When the command is run, you are prompted to provide interface name. Eg: f *File io.Closer
    • The stubs are then generated where the cursor is in the editor.
• Guilherme Oenning (@goenning)
  • New setting go.testEnvFile to configure the location of a file that would have environment variables to use while running tests. PR 971
    • File contents should be of the form key=value.
    • Values from the existing setting go.test.EnvVars will override the above
    • These environment variables will also be used by the "Debug Test" codelens
    • When debugging using the debug viewlet or pressing F5, the above will not be used. Continue to use the env and/or envFile property in the debug configurations in the launch.json file.

  • You can now run build/lint/vet on the whole workspace instead of just the current package on file save. PR 1023
    • To enable this, the settings go.buildOnSave, go.lintOnSave and go.vetOnSave now take values package, workspace or off instead of the previous true/false.
    • These features are backward compatible and so if you are still using true/false for these settings, they will work as they did before, but you will get a warning in your settings file.

  • Better build performance when working on main packages and test files by using the -i flag.
  • Better linting experience while running gometalinter by using the --aggregate flag which aggregates similar errors from multiple linters.
