Gno for Visual Studio Code

Acknowledgments

A big thank you to the developers of the vscode-go extension for Go. Their work was a huge help in creating this extension for the Gno language, as I adapted their ideas and structure to fit this new context. Thank you for your contribution to open source and for the inspiration!

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.75 or newer (or editors compatible with VS Code 1.75+ APIs)
• Go 1.21 or newer and Gno.

Quick Start

Welcome! 👋🏻
Whether you are new to Gno or an experienced Gno developer, we hope this extension fits your needs and enhances your development experience.

1. Install Go 1.21 or newer and Gno if you haven't already.

2. Install the [VS Code Gno extension].

3. Open any Gno file or gno.mod file to automatically activate the extension. The Gno status bar appears in the bottom right corner of the window and displays your Go version.

4. The extension depends on go, gno, gnopls (the Gno language server), and optional tools depending on your settings. If gnopls is missing, the extension will try to install it. The ⚡ sign next to the Gno version indicates the language server is running, and you are ready to gno. go is required for automatic installation of missing tools.

In addition to integrated editing features, the extension provides several commands for working with Gno files. You can access any of these by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Linux/Windows and Cmd+Shift+P on Mac), and then typing in the command name.

Supported Gno and tools

The Gno extension relies on tools like gnopls for its core functionalities and they have their own release policy and schedule. We test only against the latest versions of these tools.
