Describe the bug

I configure all my projects to run from ${workspaceFolder}/cmd. Everything is OK until I try to press F5 when I have any *_test.go file as an active tab. When I do this, I see this error in the output:

could not launch process: open /Users/axm/go/src/git.company.com/portal/offer/cmd/offer/debug.test: no such file or directory
could not remove /Users/axm/go/src/git.company.com/portal/offer/cmd/offer/debug.test: remove /Users/axm/go/src/git.company.com/portal/offer/cmd/offer/debug.test: no such file or directory
Process exiting with code: 1

This issue won't reproduce when I set any other non-test file as active tab.

My launch.json:

"version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch service",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "auto",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/offer/main.go",
            "env": {
                "DEBUG": true,
                "MAX_CACHE_SIZE_MB": "128"
            },
            "args": []
        }
    ]

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Clone test project https://github.com/schroding3rscat/vscode-go-bug-test
Open cmd/someapp/main.go, set this tab as active
Press F5
Project runs OK
Open pkg/somepackage/package_test.go, set this tab as active
Project fails to run

Thanks for reporting the issue. @schroding3rscat
Can you try "mode": "debug" instead of "mode": "auto"?

Can you try "mode": "debug" instead of "mode": "auto"?

"mode": "debug" helped, thanks. Is this an expected behavior? I'm certainly can configure this in all projects, but auto as the default value is confusing. Especially when I pass the non-test file in the program parameter.

hyangah · 2021-04-14T17:29:17Z

Agree it's confusing.

Looking into the history, the '"auto"' mode was originated from microsoft/vscode-go#1780 and it seems that the intention was to switch the mode between 'test' and 'debug' based on the open file.

How about adjusting the logic like the following?

if program is a go file (.go), select debug and test depending on whether it is a non-test file or test file.
if program is a directory, select debug and test depending on whether the open file is a non-test file or test file.

Stretch - if the open file is not in a main package, consider to switch to test mode. (related: #94)

schroding3rscat · 2021-04-15T09:50:17Z

Sounds reasonable, will be great.

Change https://golang.org/cl/316509 mentions this issue: src/goDebugConfiguration.ts: use program to determine mode if file

If the `program` attribute is a go file, then we can use this to determine whether to run 'debug' or 'test'. If the program for 'test' mode is a test file, we run it instead in the package.
