Vim-go: syntax highlighting not working for me

[luck02]

It was working IIRC, however opened a .go file and _poof_ no syntax highlighting.

Not sure what happened.

I set
:set syntax=on
:set filetype=go

and I got a little highlighting (green func call and blue strings). But definitly not complete.

YCM is still working and I can run :GoIMports etc.

Some of the options are disabled because they syntax highlighting is slow on slow machines. To enable them add these to your vimrcs:

let g:go_highlight_structs = 1 
let g:go_highlight_methods = 1
let g:go_highlight_functions = 1
let g:go_highlight_operators = 1
let g:go_highlight_build_constraints = 1

Check out the doc for even more options to enable/disable:

Also sometimes you need to call :set syntax=enable, especially of Vim GUI's, but I think your problem is the one I've listed above. I'll add this to the FAQ, because I've received a lot of issues like this.
