GoLand 2021.2 has been released!

A few weeks ago we introduced a new version of GoLand – 2021.2. In this version you will find the new abilities to control the behavior of go list, manually reload the go.mod file after you’ve made changes, and run default built-in and gofmt formatters one by one. You can also explore new Go 1.17 features, from moving the //go:build lines to the top of the file immediately (as the new syntax requi

A few weeks ago we released GoLand 2021.1. With this update, you can build and run your program remotely via Docker, SSH, and WSL 2, use newly supported features from Go 1.16, including //go:embed, quickly generate code from JSON, handle errors with ease using new quick-fixes, and much more. If you haven’t had a chance to track the new features in v2021.1, please visit the What’s New page for det

Did you know that you can use nightly builds during the Early Access Program (EAP) to try the newest features without waiting for the official announcement? If you are a newcomer, please visit this page to learn more about the EAP and nightly builds in detail. These builds are only available via the Toolbox App and are released every day. They often do not meet the quality standards for official

GoLand has a lot of features, and it can be overwhelming at first. The trick is to remember the most important IDE actions and shortcuts, and the rest will follow.   To help you, we have created the Learn GoLand section on the Welcome screen. It contains several interactive courses, meaning you can try out the features with the code yourself following the instructions. The Learn Go

Today, I'm happy to introduce our latest feature to you to use Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 (WSL 2, or simply WSL) to run or test Go applications seamlessly. This feature is called Run Targets and supports WSL 2, Docker, and SSH remotes. If you'd like to learn more about these, the overview article of this feature, explaining it in more detail, should come in handy. In this article, I'

Up until now, when you wanted to test or run your shiny new code, you had only the local machine to do so. Many of our users have told us that they'd prefer to use Docker to run their code since that's where they will ultimately test, build, and deploy the code with their CI/CD pipeline. Today I'm happy to introduce to you our latest feature that allows you to seamlessly use Docker container

Previously, when you were using GoLand, you could test and run your code only on the same machine you had the IDE installed on. You could use the FTP/SFTP Connectivity (ex. Remote Hosts Access) plugin and the Settings/Preferences | Tools | External Tools feature or the built-in Docker plugin to achieve some sort of workflow. However, this was not convenient to use and did not have the integration

Let's look at the workflow of incrementing the major version of a module using the module definition taken from our What's New in GoLand repository: module renameab.le/module go 1.11 Upgrading a module means bumping the version tag in version control. We also need to change our import paths. For example, if to bump the module version from `v1` to `v2`, we need our imports changed from: "

One of the most anticipated features of Go 1.16 is the support for embedding files and folders into the application binary at compile-time without using an external tool. This feature is also known as go:embed, and it gets its name from the compiler directive that makes this functionality possible: //go:embed. With it, you can embed all web assets required to make a frontend application work. T

In today's article, we will experiment with generics in Go, and their latest form, Type Parameters. Before we start, let's take a quick look at the proposal's history. History of generics in Go Generics have been some of the most desired language features since Go's inception. While the Go team never explicitly rejected them, they also did not have a good way to solve the problem of introducing g
