nvim-dap-go

An extension for nvim-dap providing configurations for launching go debugger (delve) and debugging individual tests.

Features

Auto launch Delve. No configuration needed. You just have to have dlv in your path.
Run just the closest test from the cursor in debug mode (uses treesitter). See debugging individual tests section bellow for more details.
Configuration to attach nvim-dap and Delve into a running process and start a debug session.
Configuration to start a debug session in the main function.
Configuration to run tests in a debug session.

Pre-reqs

Neovim >= 0.5
nvim-dap
delve >= 1.7.0

This plugin extension make usage of treesitter to find the nearest test to debug. Make sure you have the Go treesitter parser installed. If using nvim-treesitter plugin you can install with :TSInstall go.

Installation

Install like any other neovim plugin:
- If using vim-plug: Plug 'leoluz/nvim-dap-go'
- If using packer.nvim: use 'leoluz/nvim-dap-go'

Usage

Register the plugin

Call the setup function in your init.vim to register the go adapter and the configurations to debug go tests:

lua require('dap-go').setup()

Use nvim-dap as usual

Call :lua require('dap').continue() to start debugging.
All pre-configured debuggers will be displayed for you to choose from.
See :help dap-mappings and :help dap-api.

Debugging individual tests

To debug the closest method above the cursor use you can run:

:lua require('dap-go').debug_test()

It is better to define a mapping to invoke this command. See the mapping section bellow.

Mappings

nmap <silent> <leader>td :lua require('dap-go').debug_test()<CR>
