I couldn’t find a good answer to this question and I looked for hours. Ultimately, I decided to document it here for the next time I need it and for anyone else out there who’s looking to disable go modules in in Visual Studio Code.
- Open up Settings (⌘,) and search for “go tools env vars”
- Click “Edit in settings.json” and set GO111MODULE to off
I also disabled the go language server as it was burning a hole through my lap:
Well that’s all there was to it! I’m now able to use VSCode for all my editing needs.

Thanks man. It was very helpful.
It was life saving for me.
You did a really great job.
Everyone is moving towards go modules but still a good post.
True, but ya never know when you’ll work on a project that hasn’t found a need to migrate! :)
