ATTENTION: This is the preview version of the VS Code Go extension, used for early feedback and testing.
It is published nightly and contains previews of new features and bug fixes that are still under review or test. Therefore, this extension can be broken or unstable at times. If you are looking for the stable version, please install the default VS Code Go extension instead.
NOTE: The stable Go extension (
golang.go) cannot be used at the same time as the preview Go Nightly extension (golang.go-nightly). If you have installed both extensions, you must disable or uninstall one of them. For further guidance, read the documentation on how to disable an extension.
Differences between Go and Go Nightly
- Go Nightly is released more frequently than the stable version (once per weekday).
- Go Nightly includes features and bug fixes that are not yet finalized.
- Go Nightly may use pre-release versions of tools (such as
gopls) instead of released versions.- For more information about Go Nightly, read the Go Nightly documentation.
