go.uselanguageserver does not work on multi-project workspaces (NodeJS)

[ChrisTrenkamp]

1. Create a Go module project in a subdirectory of your workspace
2. Create a NodeJS project in a different subdirectory of your workspace
3. Turn on go.uselanguageserver
4. Autocomplete does not seem to work.

I am running VSCode 1.33.0 and am using vscode-go 0.9.3-beta.7.

A workaround is to open a workspace in the Go subdirectory of your project.

Are you using multi-root workspaces? Or are both the Go and Nodejs projects are under the same ancestor and that ancestor is the folder opened in VS Code?

Do you get any error messages? Any notifications?

I am guessing you should have seen something like The Go language server is not supported in a multi root set up with different GOPATHs?

@ramya-rao-a I believe this is the same issue reported here on gopls:
golang/go#30841
See also the (duplicate) bug for more information:
golang/go#29174

Ah! Thats right, thanks @vanackere

@ChrisTrenkamp At present the language server only supports modules when they are at the root of the workspace. Please subscribe to the links @vanackere has shared above.

Closing this issue in favor of the upstream issues
