Issue: How to configure VSCode to achieve the same debugging behavior as GoLand?

Image on macOS

Environment:

MAC OS

VS Code 1.98.1

Mac-OS 12

Business Impact:

When terminating debug session using Shift+F5 (stop button), dlv directly kills the program process

Demo Code:

test-signal

Demo Video:
VSCode Debug

GoLand Debug

Question:

项目简介 | Project Introduction

这个项目主要用于研究和比较VSCode与GoLand在Go程序调试过程中的行为差异。

This project is dedicated to studying and comparing the debugging behavior differences between VSCode and GoLand for Go programs.

主要发现 | Key Findings

调试终止行为差异 | Debug Termination Behavior Difference

• VSCode:

  • 使用Shift+F5(停止按钮)终止调试时，dlv会直接杀死程序进程
  • When terminating debug session using Shift+F5 (stop button), dlv directly kills the program process

• GoLand:

  • 使用Stop按钮终止调试时，不会直接杀死程序进程，程序会接收signal，根据业务逻辑处理完成后并优雅地终止进程
  • When terminating debug session using stop button, it does not directly kill the program process; instead, the program receives a signal and gracefully terminates after completing business logic

技术细节 | Technical Details

此项目有助于理解不同IDE在Go程序调试实现上的差异，特别是在进程管理和信号处理方面的不同表现。

This project helps understand the differences in Go program debugging implementation between IDEs, especially in terms of process management and signal handling.

Thanks for raising this issue,

I have locally verified the behavior, vscode-go debugging does not gracefully terminate the process. I don't have goland installed but based on your recording, seems like goland grant process time to gracefully terminate.

There is a very old issue related to gracefully termination upon debugging here #120.

But I'm not aware that goland already support this behavior. I will check if dlv have any update on their side and how we can integrate it with vscode-go.

I will close this as duplicated and post my update in the issue 120 once I done by investigations.
