VS Code在Go语法不正确时添加可疑空格

Question

For example, this code:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    foo := "bar""
    fmt.Println(foo)
}

turns into

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    foo: = "bar""
    fmt.Println(foo)
}

on save. Note the assignment and the double double quotes. This erroneous replacement affects the entire file. I believe it started to happen with the last version or the one before.

Go options enabled:

"go.formatTool": "goreturns"

Same thing happens with gofmt.

VS Code version 1.25.1, go version go1.10 darwin/amd64.

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks!

I had the same issue. Check if you have the extension "Visual Studio Code Format", as it was the cause in my case (now working fine since I disabled it). Version 0.0.6 does not seem to be a joke... The rest of the Go extensions seem to be fine.

Note: the side effects of this extension can be disastrous on a big file, since it will reformat every single assignment.
