Goto Definition, Hover, Signature Help do not work for Dot imported functions

[Alexendoo]

Using 0.6.43

The function details show correctly

but argument details do not

Becomes an issue in testing when using a different package for the tests or a project such as goconvery

The signature help feature uses the godef to get package info and then uses godoc to get the signature help. The godef tool does not support dot imports. See rogpeppe/godef#19

Other features of the Go extension that use the godef and so will not work with dot imports are:

• Extra Info on hover
• Goto and Peek definition

Closing this as won't fix, as the tools we use don't support the dot imported functions

[ramya-rao-a]

#622 can fix this, so re-opening

[ramya-rao-a]

In the latest update of the Go extension (0.6.50), we now support the use of gogetdoc for Goto/Peek Definition, Hover info and Signature Help features. Add "go.docsTool": "gogetdoc" to your setting to enable the use of gogetdoc, reload/restart VS Code and that should fix this issue.

Make sure you have gogetdoc installed by running:
go get github.com/zmb3/gogetdoc

It's not installed as standard by go or vscode's go extension, and the above setting ("go.docsTool": "gogetdoc") will fail silently if it is not installed.
