VSCode-go adds incorrect imports

[wjessop]

Given a program that uses a global variable (log in this example) that is defined in a second file:

main.go

package main

func main() {
	createLogger(true)
	log.Debug("foo")
}

logging.go

package main

import (
	logging "github.com/op/go-logging"

	"os"
)

var (
	log       = logging.MustGetLogger("myprog")
	logFormat = logging.MustStringFormatter(`%{color}%{time:15:04:05.000} %{shortfunc} ▶ %{level:.5s} %{id:03x}%{color:reset} %{message}`)
)

func createLogger(isDebug bool) {
	logBackend := logging.NewLogBackend(os.Stderr, "", 0)
	logFormatter := logging.NewBackendFormatter(logBackend, logFormat)
	logLeveled := logging.AddModuleLevel(logFormatter)
	logging.SetBackend(logLeveled)

	if isDebug {
		logLeveled.SetLevel(logging.DEBUG, "")
		log.Debugf("Setting log level to DEBUG")
	} else {
		logLeveled.SetLevel(logging.INFO, "")
	}
}

VSCode-go adds an incorrect import for log that prevents the code from working:

package main

import log "github.com/mgutz/logxi/v1"

func main() {
	createLogger(true)
	log.Debug("foo")
}

It is expected that no import is added in this situation. I created a full demo replicating this issue.

Try setting "go.formatTool" to "goimports"
