This looks like the same issue as #436 and #425. Running gocode close should fix this.

[wanderingeek]

gocode close and go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode fixed it for me.

Thanks @lukehoban

On MacOS, I had a gocode daemon running, I killed it / gocode close, re-opened studio and everything worked.

Recipe works that's nice, but is it possible to include this gocode restart and update as part of new vscode-go? Or may be in documentation? At least this should be part of Release notes.

[Dmdv]

Recipe worked. Thank you

[lukehoban]

@tracer0tong I've updated the README with a note. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's safe/wise for the extension to restart the gocode daemon everything it launches, as that would have performance implications and potentially interact poorly with other tools that use gocode.

I get PANIC PANIC. I removed all tools, then installed all tools but it did not help

[lukehoban]

@hinst did you run gocode close

Fedora: Only gocode close does not work.

I need to do gocode close and go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode to get it working again.

gocode close and go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode wasn't enough on Arch Linux, I also had to terminate the process manually.

gocode will hog up my CPU every ten minutes or so, making my laptop sound like an airplane is about to take off. Having to run gocode close every ten minutes is quite annoying
