Setup Komodo with Go

Komodo IDE looks great but I needed to explicitly setup some stuff to make if work with Go. I believe these settings are necessary because Komodo cannot read my GOPATH definition which was done in ~/.bash_profile. Also because I didn't define GOBIN as it is not mandatory. Hence various tools are not found :(

• Add GOPATH environment variable

  echo $GOPATH
  

  /Users/ignacio/Documents/goworkspace
  

  

• Set godef and gocode

  # Install godef and gocode if needed
  go get -v github.com/rogpeppe/godef
  go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode
  

  • I realised that it has been a couple of months I didn't update anything. brew update; brew upgrade gave me go 1.5.1 so I had to re-compile godef again:

    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/rogpeppe/godef
    go clean -r -i
    go install -v
    

  Now we can add their paths to Komodo. If go binary is not in the $PATH you can set up manually too but it should be. Their location are ${GOPATH}/bin/godef and ${GOPATH}/bin/gocode
  

Now restart Komodo :)
