没有“转到定义”，也没有弹出针对golang代码的函数定义

Question

I am using visual studio code to code in golang.

Here is the code repository. https://github.com/chakpongchung/public/tree/master/rpc/src

It is copied from this document: https://golang.org/pkg/net/rpc/

For this particular example, I cant see any function definition pop-up, nor can I use "go to definition" in vscode by pressing F12. I can see the definition pop-up in other projects in my computer.

I have set my gopath in .bashrc in ubuntu 16.04 using the env.sh

All the plugin and visual studio code version are the latest. What should I do to use the function definition prompt?

update: the problem is now solved by setting:

export GOPATH=`pwd` 

instead of:

export GOPATH=${GOPATH}:`pwd`

Thank you all!Though I still have no idea to have multiple gopath working.

This issue is in new versions or updates of vs code. My version is 1.22, It started working in my vs code when I tried to edit the settings of go extension for Go doc tool in

File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > Go(Configuration)

Set Docs Tool from godoc to gogetdoc. If you have not downloaded gogetdoc. Download it first and restart vscode for it to load the tool.

go get -u github.com/zmb3/gogetdoc

Now Press F12 to go to definition. I hope it helps.
