Go extension from Google

Go

The Go extension describes some initial steps like installing and using GO, but not how to configure for remote developement on a Wago controller. In this case we don't use Visual Studio Code server to connect to the controller because GO is installed on our developement PC, not remote.

Add task.json to build, transfer and execute the program. Here we use PuTTY Secure Copy Protocol instead of the native SSH because PuTTY also transfer password information. Afterwards execute "Meny->terminal->run task" and select the task "BUILD", "TRANSFER or "EXECUTE".

task.json
