How to configure Delve (dlv) in VS Code

Let's have Delve integrated with VS Code!

First you need to install Delve (dlv):

go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest

You can verify where it was installed by running:

which dlv

Then in Visual Studio Code you need to go to Settings and search "delve". You will find Go: Delve Config.

Click on "Edit in settings.json".

Add the path to dlv you obtained before:

"go.delveConfig": {
    "dlvPath":"/Users/<user>/go/bin/dlv"
}

Finally, in the launch.json file add the configuration for launching the debugger.

Adapt "program" and "envFile" to point to the values needed in your project.

Here an example:

"configurations": [
    {
        "name":"Launch",
        "type": "go",
        "request": "launch",
        "mode": "debug",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/.../main.go",
        "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.../.env"
    }
]

You can now run in debug mode your program by pressing F5 key.

I hope you will find this setup helpful.
