Frequent pop-up when saving with "Getting code actions: Go, Go, ..."

[stamblerre]

If you encounter this issue, please try the following steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check your other installed extensions. Go Group Imports and Spell Right have both been identified as causing slow saves.
2. Your workspace may have errors which are causing gopls to be slow. Capture your gopls logs and post them here (if you're able to share them). Detailed gopls logs are best, so please add the -rpc.trace to go.languageServerFlags.

For reference, this bug is referring to an error that appears like this:

This issue consolidates #3063, #3105, #3141, #3170, etc.

@stamblerre I was seeing this dialog for a little bit, but now it's not popping up at all and gopls seems to be ... napping?

I'm seeing this error in the logs:

[Error - 5:05:20 p.m.] 2020/04/16 17:05:20 failed to load workspace packages, skipping diagnostics: github.com/myorg/myproject/api/model has no metadata
	snapshot=10087
	directory=file:///Users/hairyhenderson/go/src/github.com/myorg/myproject

I did delete the api/model directory (with a git rm command in a shell), but it appears something went out of sync and thinks that directory is still around?

That's definitely possible - thanks for the report @hairyhenderson. I'll add a regression test for this case (golang/go#38407 (comment)). Ctrl + Shift + P -> Go: Restart Language Server should fix it temporarily.

@stamblerre thanks! That's a super-helpful shortcut! I usually just ps -eaf | grep gopls and kill one at random until the right one restarts 😂

It doesn't work for me. When I Ctrl + Shift + P -> Go: Restart Language Server , Nothing happen and there is no code hintting any more, though I wait a long time. Finally I have to restart vscode.

By the way, I got gopls error message:

I know I have syntax error in my code, that not the key, the key point is, the Saving 'main.go': Getting code actions from ''Go', 'Go'' (configure). takes too much time.

@Wisgon: If you add

"go.languageServerFlags": [
  "-rpc.trace"
]

to your VS Code settings, it should give you more detailed information. However, if your project is very large / has a lot of dependencies, it's possible that something else is going wrong.

Restarting the language server didn't do anything for me, but @onlyafly 's recommendation to downgrade the Go extension to 0.13.1 solved the issue completely

Things I tried:

• restarting gopls
• reinstalling vscode
• reinstalling gopls, tools, etc.
• downgrading VS code
• downgrading gopls
• downgrading a variety of other tools that would run on save

[stamblerre]

@bobheadxi: This error usually starts happening when there is some misconfiguration or issue with gopls. Please take a look at the first comment on this issue (#3179 (comment)) for advice on how to troubleshoot this.

Going to close this issue, as I haven't heard of many people encountering this recently.
