Enable Remote Debugging via delve about godev

[zephinzer]

Could you elaborate on a flow you’d use from the CLI with GoDev?

[DanielHabenicht]

Something like this: https://github.com/lukehoban/webapp-go/tree/debugging

In short: Having the ability to start docker-compose run debug and the hook up VSCode Remote Debugging. It would be nice to set some commands and flags to debug, but this is handled in #17.

@DanielHabenicht interesting, this will be useful- I’m relatively new to Go so let me play around with it for awhile first to get a hang of how to use it before I work on this!

[DanielHabenicht]

Me too. :)
I couldn't get it to work with the example repo, but have previously debugged successfully in your containers.
If I find out how I got it working in your go-container I will post an update.

You can debug with delve with a docker/ docker-compose setup like this
I am still figuring out how to fix the breakpoint detection in the IDE (there is something related with file paths that makes debug listen but do not detect path mappings).. but shouldn't be far from this.

WORKDIR /ms-skeleton-go
