2019.2

Go developers may rely at times on shell scripts to perform various tasks. In this post, we’ll have a look at the new builtin support for Shell scripting in GoLand 2019.2. First, we need a new shell script file, let’s call it hello.sh. As you have probably noticed already, the IDE will also prompt you to install a helper application. This is called ShellCheck, and it’s going to help you check your shell scripts against common issues and look for possible optimizations. (more…)

A while ago, we wrote an article about 14 different ways the IDE can assist you with code completion. Out of those, Postfix Completion stands apart as it lets you continue to type after the identifier name and get suggestions for it, similar to the example below: As you can see, using the .sort completion option is much faster than you typing out the whole code snippet for sorting the slice yourself. Before version 2019.2, however, you were forced to use the Postfix Completion items defined by the IDE. But all of that has now changed, and you can now create your own templates.

Refactorings and quick-fixes are one of the areas that set IDEs apart from text editors. With them, you can quickly move parts of code around in a safe manner, rename identifiers or change function/method signature across large codebases, extract interfaces from existing types, and even extract/inline values. As such, it should come as no surprise that we gave them a bit of a tweak in 2019.2, and made them even better. Refactorings in 2019.2 Let’s start with the improved Extract Method refactoring. Previously, it was not possible to use it with code that contained a return statement. T
