I try to start using Go in VSCode. I've installed Go as well as Git and created a project in Code, containing a single .go
file.
When I type something, VSCode warns me that tools like golint
are missing and prompts me to install them. I click on "Install all".
Then the console shows this :
Installing 10 tools

Installing gocode SUCCEEDED

Some tools are able to install, others are not. I can't do anything about the Not a git repository
error because it's an automated process and I'm not the one typing the git commands.
I tried installing the tools separately in PowerShell and I get the same errors. My go directory is created (in %USERPROFILE%\go
) and the GOPATH
is set correctly.
Any ideas ?
