Intellisense not working golang test files

Title says it all. I open a test file. Type $package.. Nothing comes up. It's not a delay issue. It's not an empty package. How do I get intellisense to turn on?

Update: I've open a bug ticket with the VSCode-Golang team. As we find more information, I'll report back here. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go/issues/2278

Be sure your opened go file, the one you try to edit, is part of the open project folder in vs-code, otherwise the auto-completion will not work properly. If you want to edit file from other module it's better to open the module folder in other instance of vs-code and edit it from there.

I'm not sure as to the whys and the wherefores, but the solution was to reinstall all of the Go tools in VSCode. Look for "Go: Install/Update Tools". I selected them all. Once they installed,restart VScode. At this point autocomplete turned on.

I didn't remember a VSCode update before things broke. If you run into this issue, try reinstalling the tools within VScode.

If the intellisense was already working and suddenly stops, you may try any of the below or both to resolve this.

  1. Reset the VisualStudio settings as explained here. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2008/ms247075(v=vs.90)

  2. Delete the .VS folder from your project.
