release ChangeLog

(NextVersion)

  • Reverted 0.16.1 change where GOROOT would not be set when invoking Go. (#247)
  • Fixed: Build Target's append environment variables might not replace variables correctly in Windows, due to case issues.
  • Default setting for "auto-insert" of Code Snippets is now false.
  • Fixed stale validation message for location field in New Project Wizard.
  • Fixed stale validation message for Build Command field in Build Targets property page and Launch Configurations dialog.
  • Fixed editor NPE when opening files from a non-workspace VCS revision.
  • Invoking a build operation for a project now immediately cancels the pending build operation for that project, if any.

0.16.1

  • Updated minimum CDT to version 9.0 (CDT from Eclipse Neon).
  • Removed effectively useless "Start gocode server automatically" preference.
  • The GOROOT environment variable is no longer set when invoking Go tools (such as go, gocode, godef, etc.). (#214)
    • This causes problems with non-archive Go installations (such as those installed into /usr/bin), and the reason why it was set in the first place is not known - probably legacy code. Google also seems to indicate GOROOT should not be set explicitly.
  • Fixed: NPE when invoking Content Assist inside a comment, string or character.
  • Fixed 0.16.0 regression: editor open definition hyperlink (Ctrl+click) not working. (#208)
  • Fixed 0.16.0 regression: Assertion exception when opening Go files in the compare editor. (#211)

0.16.0

  • Added documentation hover (F2 or mouse-over the reference). Also documentation added to code completion popup.
  • Added insertion of function arguments for function code completion proposals.
  • Enabled gocode's propose-builtins option, which isn't enabled by default.
  • Reworked the icon and label of code completion proposals and fixed some related issues. Now the icons are consistent with the Outline icons.
  • Removed preference "Show error dialog if gocode failures occur" as it's no longer necessary.
    • Content Assist will now distinguish between setup errors (errors that the user can fix, which are related to configuration and not the source code) and other tool errors. For setup/critical errors, a dialog will always be shown. For the other errors, if Content Assist was invoked manually, a dialog will also be shown, but if it was activated automatically the error will only be displayed in the editor status line.
  • Improved gofmt error message.
  • Added: show Project Explorer error element if project is not contained in GOPATH.

--

  • Fixed: Eclipse variables not being substituted in environment-variable values of Build Targets and launch configurations.
  • Fixed: Project Explorer GOPATH elements not updated if project GOPATH settings changed.
  • Fixed: Progress dialog never showing up when "Ok" pressed in LANG_NAME project properties page.
  • Fixed: Erratic text cursor bug when typing in GOPATH field and gofmt field.

0.15.0

  • Added support for lint build target, using gometalinter. (#163)
  • Added customization of the build command for Build Targets: It's now possible to specify a command other than the default one (the go tool).
    • Note however that GoClipse still expects the output of the command (the error messages) to be in the same format as the go tool (or gometalinter).
  • Added support for invoking a specific Build Target when a GoClipse editor is saved. This is called "auto-check", and is intended for build commands that only check for compilation errors, but don't produce artifacts. This has the potential to be faster than a regular build.
    • Added Building section to documentation.
    • The goal for the future is to enable invoking this command on-the-fly (as the user types), although for this to be useful in practice it will likely require the compiler to support incremental compilation (or be super fast otherwise).
  • Added support for modifying the environment variables of a Build Target's build command. (#191)
  • The Go oracle tool is now the guru tool. GoClipse has been updated to reflect this.
  • Improved the default names for automatically created launch configuration.
  • Improved error display for Outline operation failures.

--

  • Fixed "IllegalStateException: The service has been unregistered" on Mars.2 when Eclipse is closed.
  • Fixed: Don't call editor save actions (such as gofmt) when Open Definition is requested.

0.14.1

  • Added godef integration. godef is used as an alternative to oracle for the Open Definition operation.
    • I wasn't able to use it extensively, but it seems to be more powerful than oracle (it can recover from some compiler errors for example), and faster. Indeed, most other Go IDEs/editors are using godef, so this bring Goclipse in line with that.
  • Added "Format automatically on editor save." preference.
  • gofmt preferences moved to "Go/Tools" preference page.
  • Minor improvement to editor caret position preservation when invoking gofmt.
  • Added signing to releases.
  • Removed GOOS and GOARCH from preferences, they no longer have an apparent use.
  • Removed godoc preference.
  • Fixed: Incorrect icon for errors and warnings in preference page status.
  • Fixed: Can't save preference pages with empty fields.
  • Fixed: Problem markers for the #build-tests target would not be created for Eclipse projects inside a GOPATH entry.
  • Fixed: Pressing Tab key does not indent according to Editor indentation preferences.

0.14.0

  • Added on-the-fly parser errors in the editor (uses Go oracle).
  • Added some new Snippets: for, foreach, switch, main, apl and a few others.
  • Added improved download functionality in gocode/oracle preference page.
  • Pressing F2 in the editor now shows information popup for problem under cursor (same as the mouse-over hover).
  • Project builder is no longer invoked when workspace "Build Automatically" setting is enabled and a file is saved. (this was considered a misfeature anyways)
  • Dirty editors are now automatically saved if a build is invoked directly from a Build Target in the Project Explorer. (if the workspace "Save automatically before build" option is enabled).
  • Improved Auto-Indent when Enter pressed before a closing brace.
  • Added preference to control whether project location is implicitly added to GOPATH or not.
  • Added gocode preference to enable/disable showing the error dialog if failures occur during Content Assist.
  • Minimum and recommended CDT version is now 8.8.

--

  • Partially fixed outline not showing some method declarations. Now it works when editor is saved, but not if the editor is dirty. (#177)
  • Fixed NPE when invoking Open Definition in a file that is available in the Eclipse workspace under more than one path/location. (#167)
  • Fixed bug with Content Assist snippets using the ${word_selection} variable.
  • Fixed workspace resource locking when a build is invoked directly from a Build Target in the Project Explorer.
  • Fixed regression: Console view always activates when a build is invoked. (#158)
  • When debugging, fixed toggling breakpoints on and off for files that are outside the workspace.
  • When debugging, fixed opening source files that are are outside the workspace.
  • Fixed line breakpoint icon.
  • Fixed: in New Go File Wizard, "Browse" button not working.
  • Fixed: "Restore Defaults" in "Go Compiler" settings page sometimes causes GOPATH field to be enabled when it shouldn't.
  • Fixed: project Build Targets settings pages shows wrong default for Program Path field.

0.13.0

  • Added support for Eclipse dark theme (#131). Namely:
    • Syntax/source coloring now have different settings for dark theme.
    • Fixed Tools Console colors, as well as content assist pop-up colors.
  • Added number literals syntax highlighting. (#138)
  • Syntax highlighting now works on the source compare editor/viewer.
  • Added per-project compiler installation preferences. (#152)
  • Newly created launch configurations now have the debug option "Stop on startup at:" set to false by default. This way debugging won't stop on the C main, which is essentially useless outside of C/C++.

--

  • Fixed: Quick outline breaks when file begins with /* */. (#160)
  • Fixed: Preferences: custom setting for gofmt command is not saved. (#166)
  • Fixed: AssertionFailureException pressing Enter after source with more closing braces than opening ones.
  • Fixed: Unindent (Shift-Tab) broken, does nothing after empty lines in selection.
  • Fixed: Outline broken, due to error "CommonException: Invalid line, out of bounds". (#156)

0.12.1

  • Go build now displays GOOS and GOARCH environment variables in build/tools console, if a non-default value is set.
  • Added UserGuide note about using Homebrew GDB in OS X.
  • Fixed: when invoking Go toolchain programs, add tool directory to beginning of PATH, not end.
  • Fixed: In Linux, the "Build Target" group UI widget height is broken, too short. (#150)
  • Fixed: if build tool reports many error messages, the Eclipse project build will take too long to finish.
  • Fixed: "Run As"/"Debug As" launch shortcut incorrectly matching pre-existing launch configurations.
  • Fixed: project not being refreshed when Build Target build invoked directly from Project Explorer.
  • Fixed: "null" text inserted when cancel pressed in "Variables..." and other dialogs.
  • Fixed: Launch Configuration Main tab fields incorrectly modified when a new Build Target is selected (if Build Target is not using defaults)

0.12.0

  • Added: support for Build Targets:

    • Build Targets are displayed in the Project Explorer. Here you can also configure which targets are enabled for a workspace build.
    • Predefined Build Targets for Go are: ./... #build, ./... #build-tests, ./... #[run-tests]. See the updated Build section in the UserGuide for more information.
    • Project Build Configuration property page updated to support configuring Build Targets.
    • Note that a ./... Build Target is not launchable. To run a Go launch, you need to specify a specific Go package.

  • Added: Explicit GOPATH preference option to use the same value as the GOPATH environment variable.

  • No longer required to set an explicit value for the GOOS and GOARCH preference for running tools such as Go Oracle. You can just leave those fields at the default setting.

  • No longer showing error dialog when gocode fails. Now, only the editor status line is updated.

  • Removed go fix menu operation.

  • Updated Configuration section in the User Guide.

  • Fixed: Occasional AssertionFailure when creating new projects in nested locations (the project would not show up in Explorer).

  • Fixed: Arguments field in launch configuration is not multi-line.

  • Added: Quick-Outline (Ctrl-O).
  • Builder: The install -v options are no longer hardcoded either, but are now part of the Project build options. (Fixes #119)
    • Warning! This is a breaking change: Existing projects will need to add install -v to the Project build options (you can use the Restore Defaults button).
  • Added: Content Assist of code snippets. Configurable in Preferences/Go/Editor/Code Snippets.
  • Added: Content Assist preference page, with auto-activation options.
  • Upgraded minimum Java version to Java 8

    • Warning! This is a breaking change: Existing projects will need to have ./... added to the project build options.
  • Fixed #112: InvalidPathException invoking content assist.
    • This also fixes potential performance problems invoking content assist.
    • However the documentation popup information will no longer be show for any content assist entries.
  • Added two new syntax highlighting options: Operators, and Syntax Control Characters (braces, parentheses, semicolon, etc.).
  • Added an improved New Project wizard.
  • Editor Ctrl-click (hyperlink) now only uses Go Oracle for the operation, the previous hyperlink has now been fully removed due to being buggy.

Other:

Goclipse 0.9.1

  • Fixed: Builder does not ignore folders with names starting with "_" or ".".
    • Now using "./..." pattern to specify files to compile.
  • Fixed: Project wizard: only create "bin,pkg,src" folders if project is not already in the GOPATH.
  • Renamed gocode log console to Oracle/gocode log. Clarified UserGuide about the use of these tools.
  • Fixed: no error dialog is shown to the user if 'Run As'/'Debug As' context action results in a error.
  • Fixed: 'Run As'/'Debug As' now properly creates the Go package of the new launch configuration.
  • Fixed: The "Program" selection field, of the Go launch configuration tab, now asks for a Go main package, instead of Go source file.

▶ Recommended/tested CDT version: 8.4.0

Goclipse 0.9.0

  • Added: A simplified project builder that delegates to the go install command all the build work. (fixes #64)
    • This should improve compilation speed, since Goclipse no longer tries to figure out package dependencies itself. (and is likely more robust)
    • Disabled continuous testing feature, as the feature became broken.
    • Goclipse now uses one global build console only, instead of one per project.
  • Added Ctrl-click open definition functionality using the Go Oracle tool.
    • Path to the oracle command can be configured in the Go/Tools preference page.
    • Open Definition using Go Oracle can now also be invoked in an editor with the F3 key.
  • Added #84: Goclipse projects can now be created inside the "src" folder of a GOPATH entry, and invoking the toolchain (gocode, oracle, build, etc.) will be handled correctly for this scenario.
    • Note: with such projects, the project location will not be implicitly added to the GOPATH entries, as the project is part of the GOPATH already.
  • Added: Project Explorer UI improvements:
    • GOROOT entry in now sorted at the top, and has own icon.
    • GOPATH entries have a location sub-label.
    • GOPATH entry no longer shown if that entry location is the same as the project location.
  • gocode handling improvements:
    • Added gocode process argument information to gocode log console.
    • gocode Code Completion now works with files outside of an Eclipse project.
    • Added display of an error dialog when gocode Content Assist fails.
    • Set timeout of 5 seconds for gocode process invocation during Content Assist.
    • Fixed: Provide correct GOPATH 'lib-path' argument to gocode.
  • Removed "RELEASE/DEBUG" config option from launch configuration, since it didn't actually do anything.
  • Fixed: bug in Go Project Wizard where using "Create project from existing source" would make the finish button not work.
  • Fixed: bug where some items in the Workbench "Source" menu would disappear when switching editors.

▶ Recommended/tested CDT version: 8.4.0

  • Updated minimum required CDT version to 8.4.
  • For more info on new CDT debug features, see: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn84#Debug
  • Added Dynamic printf action to Go editor ruler.
  • Changed Goclipse to be more lenient with CDT versions: it can now be installed with any CDT version except with major version changes. However each DDT release will still have a preferred CDT "major.minor" version, that has been tested against Goclipse. Using a version other than the recommended one is not guaranteed to work correctly.
  • Current recommended CDT version is 8.4.
  • Improved syntax highlighting preferences. Can now customize bold, italic, underline, etc. for each syntax element.
  • Added build console preference page.

  • Fixed #60: "go fmt" clearing entire file source if Go source was invalid.
  • Fixed #68: Ctrl-click hyperlink to open symbol defintion no longer working.
  • Fixed: Redundant build messages being displayed, even if no changes occurred in a project since last build.
  • Fixed: No build commands are printed in the build console when building non-main packages.

Goclipse 0.8.0

  • Added debugging support using CDT's integration with GDB.
  • Goclipse now requires a JVM of version 7.
  • Changed internal id for Go projects, so old Go projects are no longer recognized, they will need to be recreated.
  • Implemented #46: Eclipse console for Go builder.
  • Implemented #23: Auto indent when Enter pressed. Closing braces are automatically added as well.
