Multi Root support when using VS Code Insiders
We now have Multi Root support for Go. PR 1221 Please note:
- The settings at Folder level takes precedence over the ones at the Workspace level which in turn take precedence over the ones at the User level
- You can have the different roots in the multi-root mode use different GOPATHs. The experimental language server feature is not supported in such cases though.
- All current Go related features that refer to "workspace" will refer to the individual roots in the multi root mode. For example: Build/lint/vet/test workspace or
Go to Symbol in workspace
