In VSCode, I am trying to rename a variable using F2. This seems to run the gorename tool, but fails every time without explicit error. It simply displays:
/home/oops/dev/mtg-tracker/mtg-tracker-server/handlers>Finished running tool: /home/oops/dev/go/bin/golint
/home/oops/dev/mtg-tracker/mtg-tracker-server/handlers>Finished running tool: /usr/local/go/bin/go build -i -o /tmp/vscode-goVw9yJs/go-code-check .
/home/oops/dev/mtg-tracker/mtg-tracker-server/handlers>Finished running tool: /usr/local/go/bin/go vet ./...
Rename failed
I've looked into similar issues and it seems to normally come with an error such as an invalid GOROOT or incorrect package naming, but I see no such error here and I haven't been able to find any further info.
I also saw that someone fixed this by updating gorename, which I tried looking into but have not been able to figure out how to do.
Expected result: VSCode actually renames my variable.
Actual result: The rename fails and it stays the same.
Note there is an issue 24661 dedicated to follow the tools and their updates, for command-line or VSCode usage.
That issue just included:
gorenamewill no longer be supported asgoplsalready implemented renaming functionality.
See issue 27571, which refers to issue 32875.
In the meantime, pending full support of gorename, I am using saibing/tools which does produced an "extended" version of gopls, with rename support.
And which is working just fine in VSCode.
