VsCode Go setup problems

Question

I want to use VsCode for Go programming, but if I try to create/edit a .go file, VsCode forces me too install "gocode command", as you can see in the following:

.

When I click on install, the output field shows me these errors:

Errors_1

Errors_2

What can I do to fix it?

What is your current GOPATH? Try this in the console: echo $GOPATH — lloiacono, Feb 20 '18 at 16:39
Your screenshots show that the path is missing the leading /, it looks like usr/local/bin/go — lloiacono, Feb 20 '18 at 16:49
@MarcelKämper: ` /usr/local/go/bin/go` is the go binary, that can't be the GOPATH. — JimB, Feb 20 '18 at 16:51

The error message says that your GOPATH is relative and should be absolute.

Make sure you read THIS first.

Make sure your GOPATH and GOROOT are defined in absolute paths.

Edit your .bashrc, .profile, .zshrc, etc accordingly:

GOPATH=/path/to/a/directory/inside/home/directory
GOROOT=/path/to/you/go/library

GOPATH and GOROOT should _not_ be in your PATH – JimB Feb 20 '18 at 16:53
