What’s new in GoLand 2023.3

This quick-fix allows you to type a non-existing function name and then generate implementation in a package of your choice.

The 2023.3 release comes with the first part of the highly anticipated Extract Parameter refactoring. The Create Parameter quick-fix for unresolved references allows you to select an unresolved reference and use the quick-fix option to create a parameter. It also allows changing its type if it's not precise enough, providing a default value, and changing the calls with the default value.

GoLand now supports Dev Containers, allowing you to use containers as a full-featured development environment to edit, build, and run your projects. Dev Containers can be run remotely via an SSH connection or locally using Docker.

GoLand 2023.3 provides support for Dev Container Features, providing a convenient and fast way to integrate additional tools, runtimes, and libraries essential for development.

We’ve also introduced support for Docker Compose within Dev Containers, enabling the seamless launch of both the main container with the IDE and any dependent containers, such as those with databases or message queues, which are useful during the development process.

Slice expressions can be confusing, especially those with three indices. GoLand will now show you hints while you’re building slices.

GoLand provides a lot of useful features for standard printf-like functions: highlighting of placeholders, error detection, code foldings, etc. Now, all these features are available for user-defined printf-like functions.

GoLand 2023.3 introduces a refined data flow analyzer based on the engine used in CLion. This feature more broadly detects code problems such as potential nil dereference, incorrect or missing error handling, and always true/false conditions.

Please note that this feature is currently in early access and is disabled by default. You can enable it in Settings | Editor | Inspections | Go | Data Flow Analysis (experimental) and provide us with your feedback!

A new Run to Cursor inlay option that offers a quick way to navigate to a specific line of code while debugging. Once your program is suspended, you can hover over the line of code to which you wish to continue execution. You can then utilize the Run to Cursor popup to execute your code until it reaches the line where your cursor is placed.

Now, you can easily add kubeconfig contexts from clusters located in directories outside the required system. The project will include links to kubeconfig files, making these clusters available while you work on your project. The kubeconfig contents added in this way won’t be copied to or modified in the system (~/.kube/config). This feature is especially useful when you frequently add and remove Kubernetes clusters from cloud or on-premises environments. Learn more.

When you start using the Kubernetes plugin, you may need to install kubectl and/or Helm. If you don’t have them on your machine already, the IDE will offer to automatically install them.

Telepresence allows you to debug the microservices of a Kubernetes application locally, as if your workstation were a part of the cluster. In this release, we’ve made the Telepresence workflow more accessible by moving it to the cluster’s context menu. We've also streamlined interception management for a smoother debugging experience.

GoLand supports top-level import blocks from version 1.5 of the Terraform configuration language. import blocks allow you to bring the current infrastructure under Terraform’s management. When import is used within a code block, it becomes part of the standard plan and apply cycle and ceases to be a state operation. Terraform performs automatic code generation for imported resources, saving you time when developing infrastructure as code.
