May need to upgrade delve to 0.12.2? https://github.com/derekparker/delve/issues/761

the same problem

[mnelson-bah]

Workaround: Install the latest delve e.g. brew install delve, then in IntelliJ:
Help → Edit Custom Properties...
Add the following as a new line
dlv.path=/usr/local/bin/dlv
Save, close and restart the IDE

Please try the official JetBrains plugin for Go https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go which has a lot more features than this plugin. As of a few months ago this plugin is not actively maintained anymore and I doubt I'll have time to work on it in the future as well.

There's also a dedicated IDE if you want to use instead: https://www.jetbrains.com/go/

@dlsniper i try to install https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go ,download the zip and use the method "install plugin from disk" . but error : pligin 'Go' is incompatible with this installation.

i use the idea of version 2016.3.6

[dlsniper]

The plugin should be installed from the IDE. As for supported versions, I think only 2017.1+ are supported, but I can't remember now. Have a look at Gogland as an alternative.

@dlsniper thanks , try the Goglang maybe the best way.

I just downloaded the latest GoGland version and it stills hand when stepping. It also hangs when trying to evaluate an expression and take an eternity when trying to read the content of variables

[dlsniper]

@drgorb please open an issue on https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/Go and describe what you did in order to have this happening. As you described I cannot reproduce it since there's not information to even begin and try to replicate it. Thank you.

that way is still work for me at 2023.7. strongly recommend you to try this one, because it is easy and quick to try out. it took me 1 minute to solve the problem. unbelievable!

my go version 1.9 and Golang 2021.2.1
