在Visual Studio Code for Go中自动完成括号

Question

While using of Visual Studio Code I've noticed that when I write function from autocomlete it never autocomlete with parentheses. For example:

fmt. //now select a function Print(a ...interface{}) from autocomplete

fmt.Print //why the  parenthesehas have not been inserted automaticaly?

Is it always so in VS code or it is somehow related to the golang setting for VS code? Is there a way how to fix that?

Answer 1

In your VSCode settings (JSON) add the following line;

"go.useCodeSnippetsOnFunctionSuggest": true

Or if you are viewing your preferences/settings as the UI version, search for useCodeSnippetsOnFunctionSuggest and set it to true. This will

• Add parentheses to the tailing end of function names.
• Complete function suggestions with parameter signatures, including the variable types.

There is also the setting of go.useCodeSnippetsOnFunctionSuggestWithoutType which does the same, but omits the variable types.

You need the Visual Studio Code (Microsoft maintained) Go extension installed which can be found here.
