Setting `GOPATH` for each vscode project

Question

Setting the GOPATH variable global as an enviroment variable works fine with Visual Studio Code.

But setting a project specific variable globally doesn't seem very nice to me. Consider you have multiple Go projects, you would have to change this variable each time you, compile, debug, ... etc. a project.

Is there a possibility to set the GOPATH variable as a project variable in Visual Studio Code? Ether in settings.json or launch.json?

Answer 1

set workspace settings, in windows:

1. goto settings: ctrl+,

2. set workspace setting:

   { 
        "go.gopath": "d:\\gopath;E:\\src"
   }
   

use ; for multiple path

3. restart visual studio code to take effect.

Answer 2

If your VSCode project directory is organized,

1. go to Settings
2. either search "Infer Gopath" or find this entry under Extensions/Go
3. check the box

Then VSCode infers GOPATH from your workspace root, which solves my problem immediately. I believe this is explained in other answers. I am posting this just to give a shorter version.
