Can't run app in 1.0.0.alpha#92

[mark-anders]

I'm on a Mac, 10.10.3, using Idea community edition 14.0.3 with alpha#92. I've opened existing projects and created new ones and, after creating a run config get the following error:

Error running <filename.go>: Cannot start process, the working directory /out/production/ does not exist.

Even if I create the ./out/production/name directory, I still get the error.

Indeed, application run configuration is broken now. 'Go Run file' works fine though.

[mark-anders]

Will try that.

Thanks!

I have the same problem with a new project...
How to setup compile and run configuration?! And where is my executable file will be stored?

I'm totally confused. When I ran "Make" I've got "All files are up-to-date" in Event log, but what files and where?! I suppose this information about my executable file...or not

Can you provide some doc or screens, or example project to view how does it working?
Because I'm still can't work with 1.0.0, but I want to...

Now I'm so sad that I'm using 0.9.16-alpha.9 and every day looking for something new in issues or new releases.

Arch linux
IDEA 14.0.3
Go SDK 1.4.2

PS. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
PS2. I'm new at Go, so I want to write the code, because it's nice lang

@Scukerman, I'll quote from @zolotov :

Just go to Run | Edit Configurations | + | Go Single File, select the file that contains the main() function and things should work.

[Scukerman]

@zolotov, Yeah I'm doing the same stuff, it runs and it works...but where is the executable file?!

[zolotov]

Go Single File run configuration is synonym to go run command. It doesn't produce any executable files.

[Scukerman]

Then what I should do if I want to get executables?
Should I just wait for a new release where it's gonna be working or can I use another build with working "application run configuration"?

[dlsniper]

You can test that things work from the IDE using the configuration described above.

As for getting a binary, you can safely use go build until there's a release that can build executables. Please refer to the manual on how to use it.

[zolotov]

@Scukerman in IDEA – nothing, as I said before it's broken, it will be fixed soon but in the end IDEA is not a build tool so the building abilities will be poor anyway.

Without IDEA – there is some docs about it

[Scukerman]

@zolotov, @dlsniper: Yeah, thanks to you both. I know about manual compiling and I'm using it, but it's not comfort and I thought it should be somehow working like on first place of plugin implementation.

[dlsniper]

@Scukerman normally you need the binary only for deployment or running outside the IDE itself. While I know Alexander is working on this feature very hard, it's not an easy thing to support as the original implementation was... not nice (to put it nicely).
As the releases say, the plugin is in alpha, and, as the docs say in the release notes, some features might not be there yet. Else I'm sure we'd tell @mark-anders and others as well :D
