I am using the Go plugin for IntelliJ Idea.
I'm not sure how I got my project working like this but I am able to run my Main.go file and it includes all my other files in the project that I can reference. That is perfect.
The problem now is that when I go and create a new "*.go" file it's not included in the IDE build and I get compiled errors wherever I refer to the contents of that file.
How can I fix this?
i think you can set GOPATH in the ~/.bash_profile, e.g.
GOPATH=~/code/go
export GOPATH
and source ~/.bash_profile or restart the terminal. it will go to effect;
then put *.go or go project related with the main.go under the GOPATH.
finally, main.go will find the *.go.
There are two types of run configurations for Go applications:
- Go Single file -> which is the equivalent of go run file.go
- Go Application -> which is the equivalent of go build file / package and run the binary
By the sound of it, you want to run a Go Application with Run kind set to package. There you'll need to type the full package name, for example: github.com/dlsniper/demo/cmd/democmd
At the moment support for running multiple files / building a directory is not present (there are some issues opened for it)

I know internet full of similar issues and I tried all of suggested solutions, but can't figure out it at least 2 days.
I trying to deploy little Go server I using IntelliJ IDEA and it works great, it can build/run my code, but if I use terminal as example:
go build ./...
I see something like that:
OS-X-Dennis:backend denis$ go build ./...
out/production/mypocket_backend/server.go:4:2: cannot find package "api.jwt.auth/routers" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/api.jwt.auth/routers (from $GOROOT)
/Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/api.jwt.auth/routers (from $GOPATH)
OS X 10.11.2, IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1
$GOPATH = "Users/denis/Programming/Golang"
$GOROOT = "/usr/local/go"
$PATH = "$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
These paths are correct?
Here is my work structure:
/Golang/
.bin/
.pkg/
.darwin-amd64/
.//other folders/
.src/
.github.com/
.backend/ //project's source
/src
/api.jwt.auth/
//source code
.server.go - file with main func
//other files as example .gitignore
.//other folders//
Here is my screen of main file and whole project-structure:
I see that logs show me wrong path to my project.
now
/Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/api.jwt.auth/routers
should
/Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/backend/src/api.jwt.auth/routers
I don't know where I should correct this path.
Your GOPATH can have multiple directories in it.
If you truly want your backend directory to be a path of some of your Go libraries, in addition to your existing path of /Users/denis/Programming/Golang you can set your GOPATH to: /Users/denis/Programming/Golang:/Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/backend
This will cause import statements to search for source files in both the /Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src directory and the /Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/backend/src directory.
I would personally recommend moving your api.jwt.auth folder to /Users/denis/Programming/Golang/src/api.jwt.auth to keep your source all in one area, but having two different directories in your GOPATH as suggested above will work too.
To understand GOPATH better, you can simply type go help gopath. Also a quickstart is here
I have setup an golang developing envionemnt using idea (13.1 community edition).
It seems the SDK is recognized.
However, I could not create a GO file by right click the "New" under the source folder. (The item of "go" is grayed)
Currently I have to manually set the file extension to ".go" and edit the file, but autocomplete is OK.
This only exist on my Mac(with version 10.9.4)
I have set the GOPATH directory access mode to 777 but still not work.
This works fine on windows7.
So what should I do ?
This is what it looks like in windows
Thanks VonC, I already tried the /Users/Tom/go setting, this doesn't work and I switch to this root path.
here's my previous setting
macbook:home root# go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
GOOS="darwin"
GOPATH="/Users/mac/go"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64"
CC="clang"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fno-common"
CXX="clang++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"
And this is what is look like in the /Users/Tom/Go
Thanks VonC, however, this doesn't work. I am not sure what's the reason.
This is the envionment setting using GOCODE
This is several steps!
step1
By the way, I noticed that there are a difference from mac and windows when creating a new Go Project
at this step, the windows platform will show a "project sdk" while mac won't.
Make sure your IntelliJ project reference the right path within GOPATH.
From the plugin page:
If you have only one directory in the GOPATH and you are creating a project inside that path when you are working with packages that are part of the project you must still specify the whole import path for them, not the relative one. Example:
GOPATH is: /home/florin/go
the correct way to setup a project called demogo is: /home/florin/go/src/github.com/dlsniper/demogo/
new package is: /home/florin/go/src/github.com/dlsniper/demogo/newpack
the correct import statement is: github.com/dlsniper/demogo/newpack not newpack
Also make sure you have the latest version of the plugin, as issue 756 illustrates that IntelliJ IDEA 13 doesn't create the project directory structure on Mac OS X.
Finally, check if IDEA has correctly detected GOROOT and GOPATH:
See the page "Fix missing environment paths (Mac)".
The OP python adds in the comments:
If I have create a new Go project, this new feature is disabled.
If I create a new Java Command line App, then I could right click and add new Go file.
Right-click on either the top-level project or on the src directory and then go to Mark Directory As > Sources Root. After this you will be able to access the enabled Go context menus.
About a week ago I installed golang successfully on my computer and got it's terminal commands to process. So by that, I know go is on my computer.
I have been looking for a good IDE and found https://code.google.com/p/liteide/ LiteIDE which was made specifically for Go.
I read that if you already had go installed on your computer then you could use LiteIDE to start building your code right away. I must have read something wrong some where because I cannot get my projects to build at all. I think it there may be a missing/incorrect path and or something is just setup incorrectly.
This is the error I get in the console:
Current environment change id "win64-user"
C:/go/bin/go.exe env [c:\go]

set GOGCCFLAGS=-g -O2 -m64 -mthreads
set CXX=g++
set CGO_ENABLED=1
Command exited with code 0.
First_Lite_Go_Proj [C:/go/src/First Litel Go Proj]
Error: process failed to start.
I checked the C:/go directory to make everything there is correct and it was. Also I'm using 64bit windows 7 and double checked that as well.
Any ideas? Mine are: Missing/Incorrect Paths, Can't access a certain directory due to restrictions.
While I have not tested this in Windows 7, on Windows 10, these were the steps that I took to make LiteIDE work
Installed Go to C:\Go
Added C:\Go\bin to PATH and made sure go was working from Command Line
This was the most important step for me. Defined GOPATH in an environment variable. In my case, it was C:\Users\vivek\Documents\Source\Go. I also made sure that there were three folders src, pkg and bin were created in GOPATH. At this point go env was showing me correct values for GOPATH and GOROOT. go get, go build and go install was working as well at this step.
Downloaded and unzipped LiteIDE to C:\liteide. Started LiteIDE and it worked out of the box for me. Make sure that GOPATH is seen correctly by LiteIDE by going to View > Manage GOPATH
Hope this helps. Good luck.
It's not a good idea to keep your projects in the GOROOT path, which per default (when installed using the MSI installer) is C:\Go. Always keep it separated from there. It also helps to avoid issues with updates.
Since Go projects are made up of packages which are organized in directory structures it is important to follow a few rules and keep the working space for your Go projects separated and clean.
In my opinion its best practice to create ONE working directory as the root for ALL your Go projects somewhere in your user space and stick to it.
One way to do this is to create a directory like "work" and set the environment variable GOPATH to it (e.g. C:\Users\Peter\Documents\work). Make sure to relog or restart your computer after your changes.
Upon certain operations Go will automatically create the directories bin, pkg and src below your GOPATH.
src contains your created or downloaded Go source files,
pkg contains your installed package objects, and
bin contains your installed executable files.
bin or pkg will automatically be created when you use the go install command to install a binary executable or a package. It's important to understand that these are files that are not part of the Go installation.
src, if it does not yet exist, will automatically be created the first time you issue a go get command or in case of LiteIDE, the first time you create a new Go1 Command Project or Go1 Package Project. Watch the "Location:" field on the dialog box, it should include your path defined in GOPATH followed by \src (e.g. C:\Users\Peter\Documents\work\src).
In the name field enter the path you want to use for your project. If you plan to track the development of your project on Github (or other repo) it's common practice to include the path to the Git repo in your source path (e.g. github.com/petergloor/hello-go).
Of course you can use any other structure to organize your projects as long you make sure they fall below the src directory in your GOPATH.
For more information about Go workspaces read https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspaces.
A final note about the GOROOT environment variable. Dont explicitly set this if you install Go in C:\Go. It's enough to include C:\Go\bin in your path and to set GOPATH. GOROOT is only needed in case Go is installed at another location.
I also had this problem first, but after completing the installation process, I succeeded.
Step 1:
Run (Ctrl+R) -> run target, request build first.
BuildAndRun(Ctrl+F7) -> build and run target
FileRun(Alt+F6) -> go run
step 2:
Check Config via this URL:
https://www.goinggo.net/2013/06/installing-go-gocode-gdb-and-liteide.html
Try setting up the GOROOT to the directory where go was installed. It worked for me.
Do you have 'Install' keyword in your project name? Try remove it.
You have to setup LiteIDE variables correctly (if there are not by default).
Please, check two options:
Go to Settings → "Manage GOPATH"
Options → LiteEnv (there are
environment definitions files). Just double click on someone and
setup Go environment variables.
I'm not sure how this works, but it worked in my case. I got this idea from this video on Youtube-Chris Hawkes
Open LiteIDE.
Click File---New.
Select "Go1 Command Project".
Browse the desired path.
Select the desired folder.
Name the folder and click Ok.
Now, you will be able to see a "main.go" file opened in the IDE.
Write whatever code you want to run in this file with correct syntax, it will run.
The only problem with this is, whenever I create another ".go" source code file in the same folder, the same error is shown. So, you might have to edit this file every time, you try to write new code.
The following line of Dart code shows true for existing files when run from the Terminal but false when run from IntelliJ or WebStorm. Can someone explain why and how to set up Idea editors so that it will return the same results as the Terminal run.
bool pathExists(String path) => new File(path).existsSync();
Update
After tinkering I've now found out that if I create the project in WebStorm 5 using 'open directory' it works fine for all(WebStorm, IntelliJ, and the Terminal). The problem is when I try to create the project in IntelliJ 12 as there seems to be no equivalent to open directory it seems to try to create a Java project. WebStorm seems to have better support for creating a Dart application from scratch at the moment. See answers below for instructions.
You really should show the whole program and how you run it, otherwise I can only guess. And my guess would be that you are passing a relative path to the function and you run the program from a different directory than IntelliJ.
Let's say I have this Dart program:
import 'dart:io';
bool pathExists(String path) => new File(path).existsSync();
main() {
print(pathExists('books.txt'));
}
This program will print true when the books.txt file exists in the current directory. I happen to have such file in my home directory, so when I do
ladicek#argondie:~$ dart check_file.dart
it will obviously print true. But if I run the same program from another directory, it will surely print false. And that's probably what happens in your case.
You should check the Run/Debug Configuration in IntelliJ, it lets you configure the directory where the program is started.
Following #CrazyCoder's comment: Selecting
Create New Project
then
Static Web/Web Module
and choose your folder at
Project Location
then expand
More Settings
and finally make sure that
Module File Location
is set to where your main() dart file is located. By default it is set to the content root.
Has the same effect as Open Directory. I've tried it and it works fine.
Well my question is pretty simple, how do I start two instances of IntelliJ (community edition).
When I have one instance started and I try to start another one, all that happens is that my started instance gets focus.
I'm developing Android applications using IntelliJ.
Any thoughts?
Press Ctrl+Alt+SChoose Appearance & Behavior, then System Settings, check radio button: Open project in new window.
You need to configure each instance to use its own folders for config/plugins/system locations by editing idea.properties file on Windows/Linux and Info.plist on Mac. You can find the details in FAQ.
Note that normally it's not necessary since you can open multiple projects in different IDEA frames within the same instance using File | Open or Open Recent.
CrazyCoder has roughly the right idea. However, setting the config file alone was not sufficient for me to run multiple instances. Here are my steps to get this going (in GNU/Linux, I am sure you can figure out equivalent in other systems):
Create a folder/directory per instance you want to run.
mkdir -p ~/idea/instance-0
Go to the installation directory (e.g. /opt/intellij) and copy the idea.properties (in bin) file over to your instance directory.
cp /opt/intellij/bin/idea.properties ~/idea/instance-0/
Copy 3 more directories: system, plugins, and config. I highly recommend doing this without the running instance
cp -r /opt/intellij/system ~/idea/instance-0/
cp -r /opt/intellij/plugins ~/idea/instance-0/
cp -r /opt/intellij/config ~/idea/instance-0/
mkdir ~/idea/instance-0/log
Open your idea.properties file and update the configurations for your directories:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE config folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.config.path=${user.home}/config
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE system folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.system.path=${user.home}/system
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to user installed plugins folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.plugins.path=${user.home}/plugins
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE logs folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.log.path=${user.home}/log
Now, you can start IntelliJ with the new setup:
IDEA_PROPERTIES=~/idea/instance-0/idea.properties /opt/intellij/bin/idea
Obviously, you probably want to put the command in a script file for invocation. This seems to work for me.
File->Settings->General and in section "Startup/Shutdown" check "Confirm window to open project in"
With Ultimate 2020.2, go to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings in the settings dialog and select the "Ask" option for "Open project in"
As per the directions from jetbrains you'll need go to the 'General' page of the 'Settings' dialog and chose 'Open project in a new window'. Then proceed to open a project as you normally do. IntelliJ should then startup a completely new instance.
There is an other very quick way of doing it. There is always an EAP version of the IDE and it can run at same time with the current one. For example I am using AppCode 2017.2 and 2017.3 EAP in parallel.
Go go to IntelliJ | Tools | Create Command-line Launcher...
Keep the defaults (which creates a binary named "idea"):
Now, go to your command line.
Cd to your project directory and type: idea .
This will create a .idea directory for IntelliJ configurations for that project, which it will re-use each time to start IntelliJ from that directory.
You can now go to a different project directory and type: idea .
Assuming you left the previous IntellJ IDE open, you will now have two IntellJ IDEs open, one for each project.
Notes:
1) If your project uses environment variables, then I'd recommending opening a separate terminal tab/window for each project and set that project's environment variables before running: idea .
2) Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you may need to modify your classpath (or settings like Project GOPATH) for each IntelliJ instance.
My answer is not directly related to the question but its a solution for some cases where we think we need 2 Intellij instances.
For my issue I was thinking to launch 2 Intellij instances. But after careful thinking and searching for other options, I found an easy and quick solution and I wanna share with the community
If you are looking to compare files between different branches, and you wanna compare the difference, that can be done with git comparison. You don't need 2 different Intellij instances.
My Case:
In my case, I wanted to copy very specific code from 1 branch to another and I wanted to compare the difference between the code. The restriction was, I can't do git merge or cherry-pick because we didn't want full commit to be part of new branch. Just few necessary lines were required in the new branch.
My Solution:
Select the branch
Open the file where you wanna insert code
Right Click -> Git -> Compare with... (refer to pic)
Select the branch and you will get the difference
Append or Copy the difference
If you have new files or directories, you can create it manually and copy-paste the content
I know this answer doesn't directly relates to what has been asked, but sometimes we miss alternative solutions.
Hope this can be helpful as an alternative solution.
In addition to the above comments from #crazycoder and #magice, Make sure that you are not trying to load Pycharm with the same project two times which happened to me!!!.
For example, in windows10 already loaded with ONLY one project in PyCharm and tried to load another Pycharm instance by clicking on the PyCharm desktop shortcut or from task-bar if added. In this case, Pycharm will not load the second instance.
I have wasted some time here. So, wanted to share with the community as it will help someone out there!!
Cheers,
