If you need completions, diagnostics, etc for this file, you can choose one of the following approaches:
If you only need to edit files for other platforms occasionally, you can start VSCode like this:
GOOS=windows code /path/to/the/project
If you are developing codes for other platforms most of the time and you don’t want to specify GOOS every time, you can save it to the .vscode/settings.json file:
The warning is caused by the Go language server’s poor support for build tags. Since you’re not using multiple modules, you can safely ignore this warning message.
Solution 2: Start VSCode with `GOOS=windows`
If you need completions, diagnostics, etc. for the file with build tags, you can start VSCode with the `GOOS` environment variable set to “windows”. This will force the Go language server to use the Windows-specific version of the file.
GOOS=windows code /path/to/the/project
Solution 3: Set `go.toolsEnvVars` in `.vscode/settings.json`
If you want to permanently set the `GOOS` environment variable for VSCode, you can add the following code to your `.vscode/settings.json` file:
{
"go.toolsEnvVars": { "GOOS": "windows" }
}
This will force the Go language server to always use the Windows-specific version of the file, regardless of the operating system you’re running VSCode on.
