在Visual Studio Code和Delve调试器中使用标签调试Go

Question

Answer: Based on putus answer, I figured out the following configuration to build and debug with one click

At first you need to add a task to build the binary with the respective tags.

{
  // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
  // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "command": "bash",
  "isShellCommand": true,
  "args": [""],
  "showOutput": "always",
  "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "buildBinWithTag",
            "command": "go",
            "args": ["build", "-o", "BinaryName", "-tags", "THISISATAG"],
            "isShellCommand": true            
        }       
    ]
}

This task should be executed before the debugger launches.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "DebugBinWithTag",    //added config
      "type": "go",
      "request": "launch",
      "mode": "exec",
      "remotePath": "",
      "port": 2345,
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "program": "${workspaceRoot}/BinaryName",
      "env": {},
      "args": [],
      "showLog": true,
      "preLaunchTask": "buildBinWithTag"
    }
  ]
} 

Original question:I'm using build tags for compiling different versions of a Go program and I compile it with "go build -tags THISISAFLAG"

//+build THISISAFLAG

package main

This works perfectly. But is there a way to tell the debugger to use these flags. I've tried to use a launch configuration like the following, but it didn't work.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Launch",
      "type": "go",
      "request": "launch",
      "mode": "debug",
      "remotePath": "",
      "port": 2345,
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "program": "${fileDirname}",
      "env": {},
      "args": ["-flags THISISAFLAG"],
      "showLog": true
    }
  ]
}

You can attach pre-built binary to debugger.

1. Build the application from command line, e.g. go build -o myapp.exe -tags THISISAFLAG

2. Add configuration Launch Exe to launch.json

   {
     "version": "0.2.0",
     "configurations": [
       {
         "name": "Launch Debug",  //existing config
         "type": "go",
         "request": "launch",
         "mode": "debug",
         "remotePath": "",
         "port": 2345,
         "host": "127.0.0.1",
         "program": "${fileDirname}",
         "env": {},
         "args": [],
         "showLog": true
       },
       {
         "name": "Launch EXE",    //added config
         "type": "go",
         "request": "launch",
         "mode": "exec",
         "remotePath": "",
         "port": 2345,
         "host": "127.0.0.1",
         "program": "${workspaceRoot}/myapp.exe",
         "env": {},
         "args": [],
         "showLog": true
       }
     ]
   } 
   

Note:

Due to compiler optimization and this issue, some variables may not being displayed or displayed with different name during debug session (see below). In the future, you may add -gcflags='-N -l' when building the application to disable compiler optimization.
