This makes Visual Studio Code the most popular editor for Go developers. In the Go Developer Survey 2020 Results, 41% of respondents chose Visual Studio Code as their most preferred editor for Go. If all of these things check out, then your $GOPATH and $GOROOT are properly set.In this quickstart, you'll install and configure the Go for Visual Studio Code extension. GOGCCFLAGS='-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused- arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fno-common'Īnd if you get the result of $GOROOT from go env and do ls you should see something like this: Sephs-MBP:streak seph$ ls /usr/local/go GOROOT='/usr/local/go' //this is where it actually points If you use go env you'll see the true nature of $GOROOT Sephs-MBP:streak seph$ go env This is because $GOROOT is not set within this context, I think. $GOROOT, on the other hand, will yield unexpected results if you use ls $GOROOT as compared to ls $GOPATH. The folder $GOPATH points to should like this: Sephs-MBP:streak seph$ ls $GOPATH This should have probably been somebodies answer. GOGCCFLAGS='-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fno-common'ĮDIT: Another very useful feature I just stumbled across is this: go help gopath. GOTOOLDIR='/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64' I know this question seems ridiculous, but it's hard to confirm things for which you have no expected results.

I'm pretty sure it should be pointing at usr/local/go, but it would be a lot easier to confirm if I knew what the expected result of ls $GOROOT is supposed to be.Īs for $GOPATH I'm not totally sure if my 'workspace' is where all my go code is, or maybe just the github stuff, or maybe the particular folder I'm working within. It looks like $GOROOT is pointing nowhere. I'm pretty sure I set things up wrong following a tutorial almost a year ago, and I want to be able to confirm that these two are pointing to where they should be by simply checking that what they point to looks right. I want to know what I should see when I type ls $GOROOT or ls $GOPATH into console. I don't want to know what the values should be. What should be the values of GOPATH and GOROOT?
