vim-go VS gotests

I found a github issue that seems related, but following the steps to start dlv on my own does not work either. https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/issues/3543

There are a handful of really good go plugins that take care of this for you, such as https://github.com/ray-x/go.nvim or https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

With vim-go and snippets, neovim has almost the same functionality as GoLand

So does anyone know how to actually install it? The "instructions" (which I presume had to be dictated by their straight-jacketed author) from GitHub are, utterly useless, requiring the user to already have vim-go installed before beginning vim-go installation. You'll need vim-go to install vim-go, you see, because with a working vim-go installation can the user execute the special command to install vim-go's dependencies (because that's how software works ya know). And, if you have any trouble installing vim-go, it says, not to worry - further instructions have been provided along with your existing vim-go installation - just execute `:help go-install` (requires existing vim-go installation, of course) and from there, it's turtles all the way down! So as long as you have vim-go installed, installing vim-go is a breeze! Am I having an anheurysm right now? What the hell is this?

Hi, usually Vim works as expected: scroll mouse event move a buffer content for a few lines. But sometimes something broke and every scroll event move a whole screen, like I pressed PageUp or PageDown. I thought that this is a defect with some plugin - because I can reproduce it only with vim-go and mouse=a - without other plugins and configs. I tried multiple terminals, and even boot Ubuntu live USB - still reproducible with my private company codebase, so I cannot share the code. This is my ticket for that plugin - the author said that this is might be something with my system configuration. Please help.

At first Ihad struggled with some common "IDE" tasks. But then I discovered vim-go and realized that it could do pretty much everything that I need and even more.

A huge time-saver for me when generating table-driven test boilerplate in Go has been using gotests[0] to generate the template.

If you use VSCode with the Go extension it's already available there as a command "Go: Generate Unit Tests for Function/Package".

I believe vscode does it using gotests (https://github.com/cweill/gotests), so people can probably use it outside of vscode too.

What can do this plugin? - Modify struct tags. - Run go get, go mod & go generate commands inside of nvim. - Implement interface by impl. - Generate tests by gotests. - Install required tools for plugin working(by go install).

I was just thinking about some smart solutions. For example generating test plan and fake data by inspecting current changes on the code and db schema. Just like this https://github.com/cweill/gotests but for performance test plans.

Did you encounter gotests when you were doing your research? It's a table test generation tool that generates test code using t.Run(). I do wish it could generate tests using testify, because I frequently end up rewriting the code in the inner loop, but I still use it because it's better than I am about ensuring there's a test for all functions I write.

I use https://github.com/cweill/gotests to generate the test scaffolding.

You can save yourself a minute and generate the test case boilerplate for your with https://github.com/cweill/gotests :)
