Release 0.37.0

v0.37.0 - 19 Dec, 2022

This release includes new static analysis features that report known vulnerabilities in your dependencies. These vulncheck analysis tools are backed by Go's vulnerability database and the Go language server's integration of govulncheck.
Read Go's support for vulnerability management to learn about the Go team's approach to helping Go developers secure their open-source dependencies.

vulncheck.mp4

Changes

• The new "Go: Toggle Vulncheck" command enables/disables imports-based vulnerability analysis. This requires gopls v0.11.0 or newer.
• Test and debug test code lenses are added to some subtests if the test names can be determined. (Issue 2536)
• Gopls settings was updated to match [email protected].
• "go.formatTool" setting accepts a special value "custom", which causes the extension to use the custom formatter configured with the setting "go.alternateTools": { "customFormatter": <your custom tool name> }. (Issue 2503)
• The experimental "Go: Run Vulncheck (exp)" command was removed.
• The extension no longer bypasses Delve's Go version check by default. Users must install the delve version compatible with their Go version, or explicitly configure their launch configuration to pass the --check-go-version=false flag using the dlvFlags attribute. (Go Delve Issue 3058)

Fixes

• The editor survey prompt logic was adjusted for uniform sampling. (Issue 2545)
• Fixed the crash bug when handling coverage profiles involving go //line-directive. (Issue 2453)
• Updated dependencies to address CVE-2022-37603 and CVE-2022-24999.

Release 0.36.0

v0.36.0 - 7 Nov, 2022

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.36.0 milestone and commit history.

Changes

• From this release, the extension will download specific versions of 3rd party tools installed with the "Go: Install/Update Tools" command. This is to enhance stability and security. The "Go: Install/Upate Tools" command will present the versions the extension will install. To install a different version of a tool, use go install command from the terminal instead. (Issue 1850)
• The default gopls version was updated to v0.10.1 and the settings were updated accordingly. See the release note of gopls v0.10.0 to learn about notable changes and new features.
• Typing vars will now offer a completion snippet that expands it to a var (...) block containing multiple variables. (PR 2481)
• The setting to enable the "references" codelens, go.enableCodeLens.references, is now hidden. The feature remained broken for a while, so we plan to remove it in a future release. Please see Issue 2509 for details.
• When debugging tests, the extension will open the "Debug Console". (Issue 2409)

Fixes

• Fixed Issue 2525 that prevented triggering of parameter hints after method autocompletion. Users can enable/disable this parameter hints popup with the "editor.parameterHints.enabled" setting.
• Fixed test profie feature (CL 440530).
• Removed dev dependency affected by CVE-2022-3517.
