Tutorial: Deployment in GoLand

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment.

   Alternatively, go to Tools | Deployment | Configuration in the main menu.

2. Click and select the type of the server you want to create. In our case, it is Local or mounted folder.

   

3. In the Create New Server dialog that opens, type the server name and click OK.

The new server is added, but it only shows the Web server URL http://localhost where you will actually browse your uploaded files.

1. In the Folder field, specify the directory to which the project files will be uploaded.

   In our case, this is the Users/jetbrains/deployment local folder. You can either type the path manually or press ShiftEnter.

2. Disable the Visible only for this project option to be able to export this configuration later.

   

1. Next, switch to the Mappings tab.

   By default, the Local path field contains the path to the project root. However, you can select any other directory within your project tree. Let's use the default path.

2. In the Deployment path field (which is by default empty), specify the folder on your server where GoLand will upload data from the folder specified in the Local path field.

   In this example, it's Application. This path is specified relative to the web server root folder, which is Users/jetbrains/deployment.

3. Leave the default / value for Web path.

   

After you apply the changes, the server is ready to use.

First, let's upload one of the files to the remote server.

1. In the Project tool window (Alt01), right-click the file you want to upload. In our case, this is the README.md file.

2. From the context menu, select Deployment | Upload to MyRemoteServer, confirm the upload, and see the upload results.

   

There is a local and a remote copy of the README.md file, and they are identical. Modify the local version.

• In the Remote Host tool window tool window, right-click README.md and select Compare with Local Version. GoLand opens the Diff Viewer.

  

1. In the Remote Host tool window tool window, right-click the README.md file and select Download from here. GoLand shows a warning.

   

2. Click Yes.

   You can also download an entire directory if it has been previously uploaded to the server. For example, if you click the parent directory and choose the same command, all nested files will be downloaded from the server.

1. Undo the changes in the README.md file by pressing Ctrl0Z.

2. Click the README.md file and from the main menu, select Tools | Deployment | Sync with Deployed to MyRemoteServer.

   GoLand shows the Diff Viewer where you can accept individual changes or reject them.

   

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment.

   Alternatively, go to Tools | Deployment | Configuration in the main menu.

2. From the list of servers, select the one you want to make default and click on the toolbar above the list of servers.

tip

You can also click the Default Deployment Server widget in the GoLand status bar and select the desired server or server group from the popup menu.

As soon as the default server is set, you can make upload to this server automatic.

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Deployment | Options.

   Alternatively, go to Tools | Deployment | Options in the main menu.

2. From the Upload changed files automatically to the default server drop-down list, select one of the following options:

   • Always: upload a file upon every automatic and explicit save.

     tip

     You can also enable this option in Tools | Deployment | Automatic Upload in the main menu.

   • On explicit save action: upload a file after save only if this save was invoked manually by choosing File | Save All or pressing Ctrl0S.

1. Select File | Manage IDE Settings | Export Settings from the main menu.

2. In the Export Settings dialog that opens, make sure that the WebServers checkbox is selected and specify the path to the target archive.

   

1. Select File | Manage IDE Settings | Import Settings from the main menu.

2. Select the ZIP archive that contains your settings in the dialog that opens.

3. Select the settings you want to apply in the Select Components to Import dialog that opens and click OK.
