I can run the go files, but I can't debug them in vscode.

Error: "Failed to launch: could not launch process: can not run under Rosetta, check that the installed build of Go is right for your CPU architecture"

I ran into this as well after an upgrade to an Apple with an M1. There are several steps toward diagnosing the root cause of the issue. The first is to check the version of Go you've got installed.

> go version
go version go1.17.2 darwin/arm64

If the version is not darwin/arm64 you've installed the wrong architecture for a Mac with an M1 chip. This is easy to do, since the default is darwin/amd64.

If this is the issue, uninstall your current version of go and install the arm64 equivalent located here: https://golang.org/dl/

Once the install is complete, it's time to verify two environment variables:

In a terminal:

> echo $GOOS 
darwin

> echo $GOARCH
arm64

If these are not set, go ahead and export them. I'd recommend adding them to your .zshrc or your equivalent.

export GOOS=darwin
export GOARCH=arm64

Finally, in VS Code, launch your project and enter the command bar in order to re-install all of the Go: Install/Update tools:

cmd   shift   p
Go: Install/Update Tools

This should allow you to run and debug successfully through VS Code.
