Add package name to Hover/Mouseover information

[sparrc]

Is it possible to add the package name to the mouseover type definition?

For example, if you had a script that looked like this:

package main

import (
	"bytes"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.WriteString("Hello World")
	p(&b)
}

func p(buf *bytes.Buffer) {
	println(buf.String())
}

When I hover buf within the p() function, I see buf *Buffer.

But I would like to see buf *bytes.Buffer

@sparrc The Go extension itself doesn't get the hover info. We use go tools for this. The options you have is to use godef, gogedoc or the go language server

None of the options give the package information.

I suggest you log a feature request in any or all of these repos

@ramya-rao-a gogetdoc includes the pkg field in it's JSON output now, so you could conceivably add it to the tooltip

@zmb3 Sweet.

Re-opening the issue to absorb changes from gogetdoc.

PRs welcome :)

I am unable to reproduce this with gogetdoc configured as the doc tool. When I hover over buf in the example, I see this:

It appears the tooltip is showing the declarationLine returned by gogetdoc. Is this correct?

[ramya-rao-a]

Yes, looks like whats requested in this issue is already being shown when using gogetdoc.
Thanks @doxxx!
