What's New in GoLand

GoLand’s HTTP Client currently supports running gRPC requests. You can also run gRPC requests from the Endpoints tool window.

This version offers another valuable addition to our gRPC feature set. You can now navigate and access declarations of messages, services, and methods from Go code and their Go implementations from .proto files.

For this, click the dedicated icon next to the declaration of a message, service, method, or their implementation.

You can now run scratch files with non-standard-library Go dependencies. When you copy your code from a project file to a scratch file and press the Run button, GoLand creates a Run configuration with the -overlay flag. This flag is used with a JSON file that maps file paths to go.mod and go.sum in your original project.

When you rename a type parameter in a struct, the Rename refactoring now suggests changing the receivers accordingly.

We've fixed several issues affecting navigation between interfaces, implementations, and method specifications in generic code. We've also implemented several additional fixes for generics-related false positives and false negatives.

We’ve updated the Code Vision feature. GoLand now shows the number of implementations for an interface and its method specifications.

In the previous version, we introduced usages displayed near all functions and types showing how often the function or type is referenced in the current project. Also, the code authors are displayed if version control integration is enabled.

You can now use regular expressions to create your own search and replace inspections. These inspections can be especially useful for highlighting style-based or formatting-based problems.

Go to Settings | Editor | Inspections and press the + icon. Select Add RegExp Search Inspection from the list, and you’ll be directed to a dialog where you can set up your new inspection. Select the desired language, use hints from the panel on the left to build a RegExp, and designate the required replacement. You can also specify how you want the IDE to highlight them in the project.

In the 2022.3 version, we integrated the Go Playground functionality into GoLand.

In this version, we’ve improved that feature. First of all, shared URLs now include the version parameter if you choose the dev or previous versions.

We’ve also added an option to turn off the popup window that asks your permission to share code in the Playground. You can disable it in Settings | Go | Ask before sharing in Go Playground.

We’ve fine-tuned the user experience when pasting a line that was copied or cut without selection. There’s now a special setting that allows you to control the placement of the pasted content.

In Settings | Advanced Settings, find the Editor section and select the desired behavior for the Paste action from the drop-down list.

There’s a new Selection checkbox in Settings | Editor | General | Appearance | Show Whitespace that allows you to configure this setting so that the IDE shows whitespaces as small dots only when you select code.

We’ve updated the Typo inspection so that it no longer checks the spelling of hashes and special values and doesn’t report them as misspelled. This update covers the following values:

• Md5, Sha1, and Sha256 hex values.
• Sha384 and Sha512 base64-encoded integrity values with the shaNNN– prefix.
• JWT tokens.

We’ve introduced a new Find Usages group for function calls – the Call group.

We’ve also implemented some fixes for how generic code element usage is represented in the Find Usages window.

In this build, we’ve added completion for container names when you use the testcontainers-go package.

After typing in the container name, you can use the Pull Docker image action that was implemented earlier.

The Dashboard tab of the Docker-compose node now pulls together logs from every Docker Compose container and displays them all in one place, updated in real time.

You can now easily connect to Azure Container Registry. Go to Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Docker | Docker Registry and set it up by selecting the Docker V2 option in the Registry input field.

Now you can add :z configuration flags to Docker bind mounts, which allows you to connect volumes to Docker containers on SELinux workstations. To enable this functionality, go to Settings | Advanced Settings | Docker.

To make creating new Kubernetes files easier, we’ve added a new action – Kubernetes Resource – to the New menu that appears when you right-click in the Project tool window.

Once you select the Kubernetes Resource option, you’ll see a popup that features a list of the most popular resource types, such as Pod, Deployment, ConfigMap, etc.

We’ve introduced a new dialog to create Kubernetes Secrets.

To define a new secret, you can input a key and value manually. Alternatively, you can specify a file whose content will be used for the value of the resulting secret.

When you use the View YAML action for resources from a cluster and make any changes in the opened file, the IDE highlights all of your edits with color-coded marks in the gutter. This way, you can be sure that the changes are made to the required parts of the resource before you apply them back to the cluster.

Additionally, using the Compare with Cluster icon, you can open a full diff view that will fetch the resource’s current version from the cluster and compare it with the local version.

You can now easily access a kubeconfig file in the Services view and open it in the editor. If you change a kubeconfig file outside of GoLand, the IDE will detect this and automatically refresh its configuration in the Services tool window. Furthermore, the IDE now supports both code highlighting and completion for kubeconfig files.

You can now assign shortcuts for most Kubernetes actions in the Services view, like Forward Ports, Delete Resource, and Describe Resource, among others. To set your custom shortcuts, go to Settings | Keymap | Plugins | Kubernetes.

We’ve improved the usability of the Branches popup. For instance, navigating between branches is now easier, as they are grouped and stored in expandable lists.

We’ve implemented completion in the Create New Branch popup. Press Ctrl+Space, and the IDE will suggest relevant prefixes based on the names of existing local branches.

To make tracking changes to files more convenient, we’ve added color hints to the Structure tool window. The names of modified objects will now become blue, and the names of the newly added objects will appear in the tool window highlighted in green.

We’ve reworked the behavior of the commit checks for Git and Mercurial to speed up the overall commit process. Checks are now performed in the background after you commit but before you push.

We’ve reworked the Pull Request tool window. It now features a dedicated tab for each pull request you open. The tab instantly displays the list of changed files but now provides less information than before. This allows you to better focus on your current task. There is now also a dedicated button to easily execute the action that’s considered the most important given the pull request’s current state.
