如何使PyCharm与Go插件配合使用？

Question

I am using PyCharm 3.1.1 and I have installed the Go plugin for IntelliJ Idea. I did export GOROOT=$(go env GOROOT) to prevent PyCharm from complaining about missing GOROOT environment variable.

Now I was able to create a sample project, but the run command complains:

Error running untitled1.go: No Go Sdk defined for this project

On other sites I found that I should do something like:

Go to the File -> Project Structure and configure Go SDK by clicking + button and selecting /usr/lib/go/ folder.

But I don't have File -> Project Structure menu item.

How to make PyCharm work with the Go plugin?

If you're running on OS X, you'll have to use the launchctl setenv command to set the GOROOT environment variable, so it's available system wide, which includes launching applications via the GUI

launchctl setenv GOROOT $(go env GOROOT)

To check it's set

launchctl getenv GOROOT

For the values to persist across reboots, you'll need to edit (or create) /etc/launchd.conf:

setenv GOROOT [path]

See this answer for more information of the format of this file. Note that you won't be able to call $(go env GOROOT) within launchd.conf
