Allow gb package lookup mode for completions

[kulshekhar]

Currently while using gb, autocomplete doesn't work properly (this is different from #249)

To get autocomplete working with a project using gb, we need to execute the following command manually:

gocode set package-lookup-mode gb

(reference)

It would be very useful to have the ability to set options like these in workspace/user settings (for example, under go.gocode.options)

If this is implemented, it would also be helpful if these options are set when switching between projects that have different settings. For example, when switching from a project using gb to a regular go project, the extension to execute

gocode set package-lookup-mode go

and vice versa.

@kulshekhar, @zmb3, @methane, @offero, @mm-z, @Aleander and others who have upvoted this feature request,

I have added the option to set the package-lookup-mode and this feature will be out in the next update. Since I don't use gb myself, I need some help testing this. Can any of you help? Below are the steps

• Download https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/blob/master/Go-latest.vsix
• Run code --install-extension Go-latest.vsix and reload VS Code
• Add the setting "go.gocodePackageLookupMode": "gb"
• Type away and test the auto-completions in a project where you use gb

Hey All, did any of you get to try this out?

[kulshekhar]

I stopped using gb a few months after creating this issue so I don't have anything right now to test this with. However, I'll set a quick project up on the weekend and will post the findings back here.

@murugan100 @kulshekhar What OS are you on? I tried on Windows and Mac and the installation works as expected.

[murugan100]

Ubuntu 17.04

[kulshekhar]

Linux Mint 18.2 (~Ubuntu 16.04)

[ramya-rao-a]

I just tried on an Ubuntu (14.04) and it works.
I have updated the vsix today for another bug fix.
Can you try downloading and installing again?

[ramya-rao-a]

@murugan100, @kulshekhar

I tried downloading the vsix using wget and then installing. I get the same error as you.
I always have the repo cloned. And when installing from the cloned repo, I dont see the error.

For now, can you clone the vscode-go repo and try installing from the repo?
I'll look into why the other way doesnt work

[murugan100]

Installing from the cloned repo works.

This feature is now out in the latest update to the Go extension (0.6.69)
Add the setting "go.gocodePackageLookupMode": "gb" to use it
