Why does vscode delete golang source on save

Question

why can't save these line of code in vscode with golang extension

package app  import (   "fmt" )  //this is just func func TestingHello(){   fmt.Println("Hissssss") } 

only the package app stays and remaining part got deleted on save in vscode.

Answer 1

Basically, your formatOnSave is on for go which is causing this problem.

To disable it, go to your Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), type in "configure language specific settings", and look for Go.

You should now see a json file where you can add the following setting to it:

"editor.formatOnSave": false. 

This is how the json file looks like if you just have on setting modified for go:

{     "window.zoomLevel": 1,     "[go]": {         "editor.formatOnSave": false,     } } 

Answer 2

config both editor.formatOnSave and editor.codeActionsOnSave in the settings.json:

"[go]": {          "editor.formatOnSave": false,         "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {             "source.organizeImports": false         },     },     "go.formatTool": "gofmt",
