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

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

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

During our recent webinar, we shared over 40 GoLand tips & tricks that you can use to boost your productivity with the IDE. Here's the summary of the presentation and all the tips shown: 00:00:18 - Organize projects in IDE 00:01:13 - Hide/Show Editor tabs 00:01:44 - Using the Zen Mode 00:02:09 - Show/hide the Project View Tool Window 00:02:24 - Use the Navigation Bar 00:03:04 - Import

We released an EAP version for a seamless integration of this feature, see https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/2021/02/12/goland-2021-1-eap-3/#run_target_for_wsl Please provide feedback for it. Thank you! Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL as it's commonly known, allows Windows 10 to run Linux inside Windows. We are going to have a look at WSL 1 since, as of the publishing of this article, WSL 2 is no

Last week we hosted our first webinar, with the theme of Go Microservices development in GoLand. It was great to see so many people attending, asking questions, and giving us their feedback. To that end, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated, as well as to our JetBrains team that made this all possible. During the webinar, we promised to reply to as many questions as we can

This is the last part of our series on running a Go service using Docker, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes. In this part, we'll focus exclusively on running and debugging when using Kubernetes clusters. While we won't cover how to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster, a variety of tools, such as kubeadm, minikube, and microk8s, can all be used to achieve this. If you are on Windows, then Docke

Today we’ll be continuing our series on how to use Docker to run and debug Go applications. In this post, we'll use Docker Compose to run and debug our application. For this article, we’ll be using the source code here and we’ll switch to the compose branch before we start. Running Go applications using Docker Compose Let's start with running the application using Docker Compose. (more…)

In the previous article of this series, we discussed how to get started using Docker to run our Go applications. Today, we’ll take a look at how to debug a Go application that runs inside a container. Creating the Dockerfile for debugging Using the same repository that we used in the last article, we can switch our branch to the debug branch. (more…)
