SCIP indexer for Golang

scip-go

SCIP indexer for Golang.

Quick Start

Installation

This will build and install the latest version of scip-go

go install github.com/sourcegraph/scip-go/cmd/scip-go@latest

You can confirm it's been installed by running:

scip-go --version

Indexing a Go project

From the root of your project, you can run:

scip-go

If scip-go is unable to determine some project information, you may need to provide some command-line arguments.

scip-go --module-name=NAME --module-version=VERSION

If this doesn't solve the problem, check the rest of the available flags in:

scip-go --help

Common Problems:

• Unable to navigate to Go standard library.
  • To solve this, you may want to use the --go-version=go1.X.Y flag when indexing and then also index the go versions manually.
  • To index the Go standard library, you'll want to check out https://github.com/golang/go, checkout the tag you want, navigate to the src/ directory, and then run:
    • $ scip-go --go-version=go1.X.Y and then upload that index to your local sourcegraph instance.
    • After you've done this, you should be able to navigate to the standard library.

(NOTE: Projects without a go.mod may experience challenges indexing. See next section for details)

Indexing without shelling to go binary

scip-go by default uses a few different go commands from the command line to gain information about the project and module. To avoid running go directly (perhaps you have some other build system), you will need to supply the folling args.

scip-go --module-name="<my modules name here>"

NOTE: The rest of this isn't properly implemented yet. It's on the todo list for scip-go.

Indexing in CI

# Install scip-go
go install github.com/sourcegraph/scip-go/cmd/scip-go@latest

# Run scip-go
scip-go

# Upload index with any necessary tokens (shown here using GitHub workflow syntax)
src code-intel upload -github-token='${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}' -no-progress
