golab

golab is a Go IDE for Linux.

Install

Requires Linux and Go 1.1.

go get github.com/mb0/lab/golab
echo 'yay! magic!'

Basic Usage

golab watches all files under your goroot and gopath (go help gopath). It automatically installs and tests a list of packages specified by the -work flag and prints colored reports to stdout.

Flag -work specifies a path list to the packages you are working on. Multiple paths can be seperated by a colon :. The default ./... uses the current directory and all it child packages.

Example:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mb0
golab -work=../garyburd/go-websocket/websocket:./lab/...

Html5 UI

golab -http starts a web interface for reports and collaborative editing of text files.

Flag -addr=localhost:8910 specifies the http address.

Example:

cd $GOPATH/src
golab -http -addr=:80 -work=github.com/mb0/lab/...

Features:

• Report view for go errors and test failures with links to sources.
• Ace editor with gentle highlights and error markers for go, js and css.
• Document collaboration with operational transformation.
• External filesystem changes to open documents are merged.
• godoc Ctrl+Alt+Click on imports in go source files opens the doc view.
• gofmt Ctrl+Shift+F changes the document (does not save to disk)
• gocode Ctrl+Space shows gocode completion proposals if installed.

I recommend using the Chrome browser, because the visual feedback seems faster than other browsers.
