Error with autocomplete in Eclipse

I am running Eclipse 4.6.3 with GoClipse and NodeClipse installed. I have configured Go in Preferences -> Go.

I want autocomplete to work for Go. However, it is giving me the error: writing to process input broken pipe

See screenshots below for error and configuration.

How do I fix this problem?

Solution

  • At least on the second page, all of the paths seem wrong. You supplied the path to the source code where the dialog asks for the path to the executable.

    To make sure you have all the tools installed run the following commands in the terminal:

    go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/guru
go get -u github.com/rogpeppe/godef

    Now, for each of the tools run

    which <tool>
# example:
which guru
# => /Users/user/gocode/bin/gocode

    Copy the output into the Executable: field in the config screen.

    For gofmt you should be able to simply tick "Use default location"
