`gopls` (pronounced: "go please") is an implementation of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) server for Go.
The LSP allows any text editor to be extended with IDE-like features (see https://langserver.org/ for details). It is currently in alpha, so it is not stable.

To install: `go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest`.

## Status
`gopls` is currently under active development by the Go team. The code is in the x/tools repository, in [golang.org/x/tools/internal/lsp](https://golang.org/x/tools/internal/lsp) and [golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gopls](https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gopls). Because we are actively working on `gopls`, it is not stable. If you choose to use it, be aware that things may regularly break or change. For more `gopls` discussion, join the `#gopls` channel in the [Gopher Slack](https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org).
## Troubleshooting
If you see a `gopls` error or crash, or `gopls` just stops working, please capture your `gopls` log and file an issue on the [Go issue tracker](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new?title=x%2Ftools%2Fcmd%2Fgopls%3A%20%3Cfill%20this%20in%3E). Please attach the log and any other relevant information, or if you have one, a case that reproduces the issue. For VSCode users, the `gopls` log can be found by going to "View: Debug Console" -> "Output" -> "Tasks" -> "gopls".
If you see a `gopls` error or crash, or `gopls` just stops working, please file an issue on the [Go issue tracker](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new?title=x%2Ftools%2Fcmd%2Fgopls%3A%20%3Cfill%20this%20in%3E).
Along with an explanation of the issue, please share the information listed here:
* Your editor and any settings you have configured (for example, your VSCode `settings.json` file).
* A sample program that reproduces the issue, if possible.
* The output of `gopls version` on the command line.
* The output of `gopls -rpc.trace -v check /path/to/file.go`.
* `gopls` logs from when the issue occurred, as well as a timestamp for when the issue began to occur. See the instructions below for information on how to capture `gopls` logs.
### Capturing `gopls` logs
For VSCode users, the `gopls` log can be found by going to "View: Debug Console" -> "Output" -> "Tasks" -> "gopls". For other editors, you may have to directly pass a `-logfile` flag to `gopls`.
To increase the level of detail in your logs, start `gopls` with the `-rpc.trace` flag. To start a debug server that will allow you to see profiles and memory usage, start `gopls` with `serve --debug=localhost:6060`. See the editor configurations section below for information on how to pass these flags via your editor.
If possible, it is helpful to mention an estimated timestamp for when the problem first occurred, or an approximate timestamp for when you reproduced the problem. It is also helpful to see your `gopls` editor configurations, such as a VSCode `settings.json` file.
### Restart your editor
You can then try to restart your `gopls` instance by restarting your editor, which, in most cases, should correct the problem. In VSCode, the easiest way to restart the language server is by opening the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and selecting "Go: Restart Language Server".
Once you have filed an issue, you can then try to restart your `gopls` instance by restarting your editor. In many cases, this will correct the problem. In VSCode, the easiest way to restart the language server is by opening the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and selecting "Go: Restart Language Server". You can also reload the VSCode instance by selecting "Developer: Reload Window".
