No buffers contain error message locations

[jasiek]

I've followed the installation instructions, and despite that, when I open up a .go file I get the following message: No buffers contain error message locations and cursor keys stop working, redisplaying the same message over and over.

Auto-completion works in the sense that when I find a way to be able to type in an identifier, it will display suggestions.

I don't think this error message comes from gocode. You didn't even tell me which editor are you using.

My apologies. This is emacs.

When I comment out (auto-complete-mode 1) from my init file this goes away. That led me to think that the error may lie in go-autocomplete.

Hard to tell what's going on as usual with emacs. As an option you can try company-mode. Gocode has a plugin for it too: https://github.com/nsf/gocode/tree/master/emacs-company

And personally I like it more.

I'll give it a go - thanks.

I've removed auto-complete and go-autocomplete and set it up according to the instructions for emacs-company - I am getting the same result.

I'll see what happens on a fresh installation of emacs.

[jasiek]

Clean install of emacs works with autocomplete-mode. Clearly there's something wrong on my end.

[jasiek]

Turns out I was wrong - I still can't get it to work with either package. Will keep trying.

Here's what caused it, for reference:

  (local-set-key (kbd "M-]") 'next-error)         ; Go to next error (or msg)
  (local-set-key (kbd "M-[") 'previous-error)     ; Go to previous error or msg
