The GOPACKAGESDRIVER allows gopls and any package using x/tools/packages to
expose package data. Configuring the rules_go's packages driver is simple.
gopls >= v0.6.10 (released on Apr 13th 2021) is required.
Install it in your path. If you have $GOBIN in your PATH, this should do the trick:
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
If you are using Visual Studio Code, it should have been automatically updated by now.
Create a launcher script, say tools/gopackagesdriver.sh. If your repo is loading rules_go in its MODULE.bazel, give it these contents:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec bazel run -- @rules_go//go/tools/gopackagesdriver "${@}"If your repo is still loading rules_go in the WORKSPACE file:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec bazel run -- @io_bazel_rules_go//go/tools/gopackagesdriver "${@}"You might want to replace github.com/my/mypkg with your package. When first opening
a file in the workspace, give the driver some time to load.
In the .vscode/settings.json of your workspace, you'll need to one of the two following JSON blobs, depending on if your repo is using MODULE.bazel or WORKSPACE to load rules_go (the difference is in the go.goroot). Also, for both of these, you'll need to edit some of the lines.
If you're using MODULE.bazel, use a JSON blob like this, after editing the following three lines:
- In
build.directoryFiltersreplacemypkginbazel-mypkgwith your repo's workspace name. - In
formatting.localreplace the import path there with the import path of your repo's code. - In
go.goroot, replacemymodulewith the name of your root module.
NOTE: The example below assumes you are using Bazel v8.0.0 or greater (or have the --incompatible_use_plus_in_repo_names flag enabled). If you are using an earlier version of Bazel (without that flag enabled), use this value for go.goroot instead: ${workspaceFolder}/bazel-${workspaceFolderBasename}/external/rules_go~~go_sdk~mymodule__download_0/.
If your repo is using WORKSPACE to load rules_go, use a JSON blob like this, after editing the following two lines:
- In
build.directoryFiltersreplacemypkginbazel-mypkgwith your repo's workspace name. - In
formatting.localreplace the import path there with the import path of your repo's code.

Install vim-go, a Vim plugin for Go development with support for
gopls. -
Follow the instructions from Editor setup for installing
goplsand adding a launcher script.- Note that
goplsshould already be installed as part of installingvim-go.
- Note that
-
Add the following to your
.vimrc:function! MaybeSetGoPackagesDriver() " Start at the current directory and see if there's a WORKSPACE file in the " current directory or any parent.

- You'll want to replace
-bazel-mypkgwith your package. - If you've put your
gopackagesdriver.shscript somewhere other thantools/gopackagesdriver.sh, you'll need to updateMaybeSetGoPackagesDriveraccordingly.

The package driver has a few environment configuration variables, although most won't need to configure them:
GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL: bazel binary, defaults tobazelBUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY: directory of the bazel workspace (auto detected when using a launcher script because it invokesbazel run)GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_FLAGSwhich will be passed tobazelinvocationsGOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_QUERY_FLAGSwhich will be passed tobazel queryinvocationsGOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_QUERY_SCOPEwhich specifies the scope forimportpathqueries (sincegoplsonly issuesfile=queries, so use if you know what you're doing!)GOPACKAGESDRIVER_BAZEL_BUILD_FLAGSwhich will be passed tobazel buildinvocations
It is possible to debug driver issues by calling it directly and looking at the errors in the outputs:
$ echo {} | ./tools/gopackagesdriver.sh file=relative/path.go
- CGo completion may not work, but at least it's not explicitly supported.
- Errors are not handled
