How to set up debugging in GoLand?

Question

I am trying out GoLand and hear that the debugger is supposedly awesome, but I can’t find any documentation explaining how to set it up (GoLand is in preview stage, so that’s no

Answer 1

I was facing this same issue and I solved by using the "Go Application" configuration (at the Run/Debug Configurations window), instead of the "Go Single File" configuration.

So, go to the upper right corner of the Gogland and "Edit configurations".

Then, add a new configuration using the "Go Application" profile.

After saving, you should be able to debug your code. o/

An easy way to enable this configuration is to use the @user1793301 method and right click on the file you want to run and select "Debug 'go run .go'".

POSSIBLE EXPLANATION

NOTICE: I did not look any further details about it.

Fact: "Go Application" configuration does build the binary executable before running it.

Fact: I could see looking at the console output (inside of the Goglang) is that the IDE uses the DLV as debugging tool.

Fact: I found a dlv debug at the DLV documentation and it seems to compile and debug the code.

Hypothesis: The guys from Jetbrains did not implement it. Or at least not YET.
