All good

I should really just add a feature to warn people of that. The flip side is that would annoy experienced users

@benmcrae

i completely missed this as its a new laptop setup!

Would hate to think how often that happens though..

question - I sortof have autocomplete working as it will show packages in a list... i.e. if I start typing "strc" I'll get "strconv" if I had that in the imports, but nothing is showing after the . like if I type "strconv."

I've added %GOPATH%\bin to my PATH (i.e. typing "gocode" works from anywhere), and here's what "goapp env" tells me (I'm using appengine, so it's goapp not go):

set GOARCH=amd64
set GOBIN=
set GOEXE=.exe
set GOHOSTARCH=amd64
set GOHOSTOS=windows
set GOOS=windows
set GOPATH=C:\Users\david\Documents\GOPATH
set GORACE=
set GOROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\go_appengine\goroot
set GOTOOLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\go_appengine\goroot\pkg\tool\windows_amd64
set GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
set CC=gcc
set GOGCCFLAGS=-m64 -mthreads -fmessage-length=0
set CXX=g++
set CGO_ENABLED=1

gocode set turn propose builtins

David Komer

@dakom

thanks... though I think I screwed something up, now the autocomplete isn't working for package names either :\

David Komer

@dakom

seems gocode set autobuild true fixes this, but then it builds using "go" not "goapp"... :(

though this doesn't seem to make sense since I have builder-go installed as well...

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Ok then the fix is to run goapp install .

On save

Generally, if you're starting a new project, I would recommend using a newer approach that does not require using the separate goapp runtime

Use Container engine with a cross compiled binary

David Komer

@dakom

doesn't it require using that since it needs to spin up the dev server for datastore etc.?

"Container engine"?

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Depends on your app architecture

https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/

https://run.pivotal.io (disclosure: my employer)

www.heroku.com

All of them

David Komer

@dakom

oh, it's some solution to use datastore/etc. outside of appengine, i.e. in your own hosted container somewhere else?

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

are much simpler

All of them run your app in a container

And externalize the datastore

David Komer

@dakom

gotcha, but then it's no longer appengine exactly, i.e. letting google deal with the headache of auto scaling and just pay for usage... as well as task queue management... all the stuff that is supposed just work on appengine

sounds like it's one of those decisions that has pros/cons on either side... just feels weird to change course so drastically to get gocode working, hehe

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Has nothing to do with gocode . Has to do with the fact that app engine has a funk permissions

/ security model

Which is ultimately why you have to have a separate runtime

The app engine approach is not the future of GCE, so I wouldn't start there for new apps

David Komer

@dakom

right - definately not the future of GCE, but isn't that the point? i.e. GCE is more the do-it-yourself approach, appengine is the "use our funky decisions - like it or not, and we'll handle dev-ops for you" approach?

David Komer

@dakom

(and then of course - your employer and heroku and others fall in the middle - "we implement the do it yourself approach, so we can handle dev-ops for you too") :)

Ah!! cool I found the solution for gocode - setting lib-path: gocode set lib-path C:\Users\david\Documents\GOPATH\pkg\windows_amd64_appengine

(and auto-build off since gocode doesn't use goapp... not sure whether or not it's a race condition against your builder-go, but anyway to get around that I guess I could periodically run goapp install or trigger builds then try again or whatever)

David Komer

@dakom

Though I will say - getting off of goapp would be great... right now I'm only doing appengine stuff... I don't even want to think what the nightmare would be if I was going back and forth between appengine and vanilla go :\

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Cool glad you found the solution

Alexey Mozzhakov

@alexmozzhakov

hey! can somebody help me installing gocode on mac? Atom says
package github.com/nsf/gocode: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For more details see: go help gopath, but i already have set up my $GOPATH

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Set your GOPATH ?

What shell do you use?

export GOPATH=/Users/yourusername/go

In .profile or .bash_profile or .zshrc

also, make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your path

@alexmozzhakov

quit atom and relaunch if you have already done this

Alexey Mozzhakov

@alexmozzhakov

In .profile or .bash_profile or .zshrc can u explain?

Joe Fitzgerald

@joefitzgerald

Finally if that still doesn't work, install the atom shell launchers and invoke GOPATH=/path/to/your/gopath atom .
