Debugging a specific golang unit test with VSCode-CodePudding

I am trying to debug one specific unit test in VSCode with breakpoints.

On the command line, this works perfectly to execute:

go test -v ./cmd/bacalhau -run TestCommands

However, when I select the below to run, I get the following:

    {
        "name": "Debug Specific Test",
        "type": "go",
        "request": "launch",
        "mode": "debug",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/bacalhau/devstack_test.go",
        "args": [
            "-test.run",
            "TestCommands"
        ],
        "env": {
            "LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
        },
        "showLog": true
    }

Output:

I have also tried setting "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/bacalhau/devstack_test.go", which results in

Starting: /home/user/go/bin/dlv dap --check-go-version=false --log=true --log-output=debugger --listen=127.0.0.1:33479 --log-dest=3 from /home/user/code/bacalhau/cmd/bacalhau

Build Error: go build -o /home/user/code/bacalhau/cmd/bacalhau/__debug_bin -gcflags all=-N -l ./devstack_test.go
no packages to build (exit status 1)`

I have looked at the following resources:

#1 in the above list looks almost perfect, but I could not get it to work (I don't want to debug ${file} I want the same unit test to run no matter what file I have open).

How do I set this up correctly?

CodePudding user response：

Modify the "mode" property in your launch.json:

        "mode": "test",  // This should be "auto" or "test"
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/bacalhau/devstack_test.go",
        "args": [],

Or, if you only want to execute the test automatically, you can config it as a task, it's simpler:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "tmp test",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "go test -v ./cmd/bacalhau -run TestCommands",
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$go"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
