A modern go neovim plugin based on treesitter, nvim-lsp and dap debugger. It is written in Lua and async as much as possible. PR & Suggestions welcome. The plugin covers most features required for a gopher.
- Perproject setup. Allows you setup plugin behavior per project based on project files(launch.json, .gonvim)
- Async jobs with libuv
- Syntax highlight & Texobject: Native treesitter support is faster and more accurate. All you need is a theme support treesitter, try aurora, starry.nvim. Also, there are quite a few listed in awesome-neovim
- All the GoToXxx (E.g reference, implementation, definition, goto doc, peek code/doc etc) You need lspconfig setup. There are lots of posts on how to set it up. You can also check my navigator gopls setup lspconfig.lua
- Runtime lint/vet/compile: Supported by lsp (once you setup up your lsp client), GoLint with golangci-lint also supported
- Build/Make/Test: Go.nvim provides supports for these by an async job wrapper.
- Test coverage: run test coverage and show coverage sign and function metrics
- Dlv Debug: with nvim-dap and Dap UI.
- Load vscode launch configuration
- Unit test: generate unit test framework with gotests. Run test with richgo/ginkgo/gotestsum/go test
- Add and remove tag for struct with tag modify(gomodifytags)
- Code format: Supports LSP format and GoFmt(with golines)
- CodeLens : gopls codelens and codelens action support
- Comments: Add autodocument for your package/function/struct/interface. This feature is unique and can help you suppress golint errors...
- Go to alternative go file (between test and source)
- Test with ginkgo, richgo inside floaterm (to enable floaterm, guihua.lua has to be installed)
- Go 1.18 support, configure your go to
go1.18
in config - Code refactor made easy: GoFixPlural, FixStruct, FixSwitch, Add comment, IfErr, ModTidy, GoGet, extract function/block with codeactions... Most of the tools are built on top of treesitter AST or go AST. It is fast and accurate.
- GoCheat get go cheatsheet from cheat.sh.
- Smart build tag detection when debug/run tests (e.g.
//go:build integration
) - Generate mocks with mockgen
- Inlay hints: gopls (version 0.9.x or greater) inlay hints
- luasnip: you might use friendly-snippets already, you still need to try pure lua snippets with go.nvim out, checkout LuaSnip Tutorial and TJ's Introduction to LuaSnip
Use your favorite package manager to install. The dependency treesitter
(and optionally, treesitter-objects)
should be installed the first time you use it.
Also Run TSInstall go
to install the go parser if not installed yet.
sed
is recommand to run this plugin.
Plug 'ray-x/go.nvim'
Plug 'ray-x/guihua.lua' ; recommanded if need floating window support
use 'ray-x/go.nvim'
use 'ray-x/guihua.lua' -- recommanded if need floating window support
Make sure the $GOPATH/bin
path is added to your $PATH
environment variable. To check this you can run
echo $PATH | grep "$GOPATH/bin"
If nothing shows up, you can add the following to your shell config file:
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Add format in your vimrc.
autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').gofmt()
To startup/setup the plugin
require('go').setup()
Use:
:GoTermClose
To close the floating term.
gorename as an alternative to gopls rename as it supports rename across packages Note: use with care Command: GoRename
nvim-lsp support goimport by default.
autocmd BufWritePre (InsertLeave?) <buffer> lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync(nil,500)
The plugin provides code format, by default is goline + gofumpt (stricter version of gofmt)
Use following code to format go code
require("go.format").gofmt() -- gofmt only
require("go.format").goimport() -- goimport + gofmt
To config format on save, add one of the following to your init.lua:
-- Run gofmt on save
vim.api.nvim_exec([[ autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').gofmt() ]], false)
-- Run gofmt + goimport on save
vim.api.nvim_exec([[ autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').goimport() ]], false)
Note: auto fill struct also supported by gopls lsp-action
command | Description |
---|---|
GoFillStruct | auto fill struct |
GoFillSwitch | fill switch |
GoIfErr | Add if err |
GoFixPlurals | change func foo(b int, a int, r int) -> func foo(b, a, r int) |
package foo
import "io"
func Foo() (io.Reader, error) { // the cursor on this line to add if err statement
}
Supported by treesitter. TS provided better parse result compared to regular expression.
See the example treesitter config file on how to setup
textobjects. Also with treesitter-objects, you can move, swap the selected blocks of codes, which is fast and accurate.
go.nvim
will load textobject with treesiteter, with default keybindings, if you what to set it up yourself, you can
set textobject
to false.
The following go binaries are used in go.nvim
(depends on your setup):
- gofumpt
- golines
- goimports
- gorename
- gomodifytags
- gotests
- iferr
- impl
- fillstruct
- fillswitch
- dlv
- ginkgo
- richgo
Normally if you run GoFmt
and the configured binary (e.g. golines) was not installed, the plugin will install it for you. But the
first run of GoFmt
may fail. It is recommended to run GoInstallBinaries
to install all binaries before using the plugin.

sort
Show go doc for api in neovim floating window. e.g. GoDoc fmt.Println
If no argument provided, fallback to lsp.hover()
A symbole outline for all symbols (var, const, func, struct, interface etc) inside a package You can still use navigator or sidebar plugins (e.g. vista, symbols-outline) to check outline within a file. But it is more useful for go to check the symbols in a package, as those symbols are visuals inside package, also the method can be defined in different source file.
Command format: GoPkgOutline {options} options: -f: show in floatwing window (default side panel, both require quihua.lua) -p package_name: the package you want to list. e.g. GoPkgOutline -p json; default package is current file's package If guihua not installed fallback to loclist

Nvim-lsp is good enough for a gopher. If you looking for a better GUI. You can install navigator, or lspsaga, and lsp-utils etc. The goal of go.nvim is more provide unique functions releated to gopls instead of a general lsp gui client. The lsp config in go.nvim has a none default setup and contains some improvement and I would suggest you to use.
The latest version enabled lsp snippets (and other setups) by default. In case you need flowing the setup from cmp README.md, please use flowing command:
local capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())
require('go').setup({
-- other setups ....
lsp_cfg = {
capabilities = capabilities,
-- other setups
},
})
Gopls supports code lens. To run gopls code lens action GoCodeLenAct
Note: codelens need to be enabled in gopls, check default config in
You can use native code action provided by lspconfig. If you installed guihua, you can also use a GUI version of
code action GoCodeAction
Supported by LSP, also GoLint command (by calling golangcl-lint) if you need background golangci-lint check, you can configure it with ALE
Setup for Debug provided. Need Dap and Dap UI plugin GDB style key mapping is used
key | Description |
---|---|
c | continue |
n | next |
s | step |
o | stepout |
S | cap S: stop debug |
u | up |
D | cap D: down |
C | cap C: run to cursor |
b | toggle breakpoint |
P | cap P: pause |
p | print, hover value (also in visual mode) |
Please check Vscode Launch configurations
for more info
go.nvim support launch debuger from vscode-go .vscode/launch.json configurations
If launch.json is valid, run GoDebug
will launch from the launch.json configuration.
- GoToggleInlay
Please use jsonls/null-ls check your launch.json is valid json file. Following syntax is not supported
- Trailing comma

You will need to add keybind yourself: e.g
vim.cmd("autocmd FileType go nmap <Leader><Leader>l GoLint")
vim.cmd("autocmd FileType go nmap <Leader>gc :lua require('go.comment').gen()")
go.nvim
allow you override your setup by a project file. Put .gonvim/init.lua
in your root folder. It is a small lua
script and will be run durning go.setup(). The return value is used to override go.nvim
setup. The sample project
setup. You can check the youtube video here on how to use this feature.
-- .gonvim/init.lua project config

go.nvim provided a better non-default setup for gopls (includes debounce, staticcheck, diagnosticsDelay etc)
This gopls setup provided by go.nvim works perfectly fine for most of the cases. You can also install navigator.lua which can auto setup all lsp clients and provides a better GUI.
For diagnostic issue, you can use the default setup. There are also quite a few plugins that you can use to explore issues, e.g. navigator.lua, folke/lsp-trouble.nvim. Nvim-tree and Bufferline also introduced lsp diagnostic hooks.
