Change GOMODCACHE #1504
-
Hi there,
How can I change GOMODCACHE?
I don't want installing modules to $HOME/go
I tried to set
"gopls": {
"build.env": {
"GOPATH": "path/go",
"GOMODCACHE": "path/go/pkg/mod"
}
},
But it doesn't work :(
Thx

Setting GOMODCACHE through the VS Code or gopls settings will only affect the value of that environment variable when you are in the editor or the integrated terminal. To set it globally, you will want to run go env -w GOMODCACHE="path/go/pkg/mod".

Your problem is not vscode-go related, run go help env

Try to set GOMODCACHE using "go.toolsEnvVars" instead of gopls setting. https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/blob/master/docs/settings.md#gotoolsenvvars

Right. If you want the change applied globally in the machine, go env -w is the way to do so. Also, the "go.toolsEnvVars" setting applies only to tools run by the extension, and doesn't apply to the integrated terminal.
