How to connect a Go client application to the IBM VS Code Fabric Extension?

I am working on some projects with Hyperledger Fabric, currently using the IBM VS Code Extension. The chaincode is written in Go, as is the client application which provides a RESTful API, using the Go Fabric SDK. However, I am having trouble connecting the client application to the chaincode. Most of the tutorials and examples I have seen use Node.js as the client and it seems the Node SDK needs less configuration.

As far as I understand it, the steps should be similar to the following but more detailed information seems to be a little bit lacking when it comes to the Golang Fabric SDK.

The client application needs the following information to be able to communicate with the blockchain network:

In the VSCode plugin

As far as I can tell, the connection profile and other steps needed to connect the SDK to the VS Code Network should be pretty 'standard' so I wonder if someone knows of a working example?

Thanks for the collective help!

Unfortunately you are going to struggle with this at the moment. Wallets are not compatible with the Go SDK currently. Also the Go SDK doesn't quite conform (or at least it didn't the last time I tried it) to the connection profile specification so the connection profile from the VS Code extension won't work without some minor modification and didn't work with a CA not using TLS (IIRC I patched the Go SDK to make it work).

There is work underway to bring the Gateway/Wallet programming model to the Go SDK which will then make working with the VS Code extension a lot easier, but I don't know when a version of the Go SDK with a working implementation will be available.
