Vim-go: How to "initialize gopls" for vim-go?

[jrefior]

What did you do? (required: The issue will be closed when not provided)

Tried to configure vim-go for gopls, tried to install gopls, then opened a go file in a go-modules-style repo. Got vim-go: initialize gopls message, so I assume I'm doing it wrong somehow.

When I run :GoInstallBinaries, I see:

vim-go: Updating gopls. Reinstalling golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gopls to folder /Users/johnrefior/home/go/bin/

According to gopls wiki, installation of gopls is:

install gopls by running go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gopls

I did that.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is my issue and I just haven't learned how to set up gopls yet, or am doing something wrong with vim-go configuration, just looking for some assistance / direction-pointing if available.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected the file to open without error/warning.

What happened instead?

Got message vim-go: initialize gopls.

I appreciate the warning, I'm just trying to figure out how to satisfy the condition that prevents it.

Configuration (MUST fill this out):

vim-go version:

Current master as of June 21, 10am EDT:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim-go
$ git branch
* master
$ git pull
Already up to date.

vimrc you used to reproduce (use a minimal vimrc with other plugins disabled; do not link to a 2,000 line vimrc):

vimrc

" use pathogen for package installations

execute pathogen#infect()

execute pathogen#helptags()


" essential for vim-go, I think

filetype plugin indent on

" configure gopls? also disable guru in vim-go

let g:go_def_mode='gopls'

let g:go_info_mode='gopls'

" remove this after getting a good gopls setup?

let g:go_null_module_warning = 0

" add tabs for buffers when in single window

let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled = 1

This isn't a warning, it's a progress message. Clearly, we should update it to say initializing or initialized.

Ah good to know -- thanks!

how to disable to run gopls

[marcopeereboom]

I have the same question. I'd like to run without gopls.

Bump that it's annoying, lingering on my terminal's stdout after I close vim (using neovim)
