📌 Go1.18 Support Status

[hyangah]

Go 1.18beta2 is available for testing. (See Go project's announcement)

Please find the instruction here to configure the Go extension to use go1.18beta2
and update all tools using the Go: Install/Update Tools command from Command Palette.

The Go Tools team are actively working on fixing bugs and improving usability of the new Go 1.18 features.

If you encounter issues or have ideas for improvement, please share them with us.

Known issues:

• vscode-go issues
• gopls issues.
• Features that depend on 3rd party tools (staticcheck, golangci-lint, ...) may not work with generics yet.
  Please follow the tracking issue and the underlying tools' issue trackers.

In order to pick up the latest fixes, please consider to use the Nightly version of
the extension. We plan to make prereleases of gopls v0.8.0 available frequently.

The Nightly version installs the pre-release version of gopls, so you will be able to pick up the
latest bug fixes of gopls without manual installation.
