Wraps the VSCode Go extension from Microsoft into a language server, such that its functionality can be reused with other LSP-aware clients.

In the first iteration we will mock VSCode APIs or simulate their behavior backed by an LSP. We will maintain this as a fork of the original repository such that we can easily pick up incoming improvements of that by just rebasing. Once we got more confidence, we'd probably refactor the VSCode specific parts away.

Original README.md.

• There is no such thing as the activeTextEditor in LSP. For services that have a TextDocumentItem, we set it before calling the service impl, but for other services, e.g. executeCommand we cannot make sure that they are performed on the correct document.
• We have to use/mock/adapt a lot of global variables

Make sure the go command is available from your path and that the GOPATH environment variable points to where your go packages are installed. Some go packages are necessary:

go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode
go get -u -v github.com/uudashr/gopkgs/cmd/gopkgs
go get -u -v github.com/ramya-rao-a/go-outline

Note: this list comes from here.

1. Run npm install to install the package dependencies.
2. Run npm run compile to compile the Typescript to Javascript.
3. Run the server with node ./out/src-vscode-mock/cli.js --stdio.
