How to debug cobra command test with VS Code?

Question

I have a go program using cobra commands. I can run and debug a command with

{
    "name": "Reporting1",
    "type": "go",
    "request": "launch",
    "mode": "auto",
    "program": "main.go",
    "args":["Reporting1"],
    "console": "integratedTerminal"
},

This will start Reporting1 in debug mode. I have a Reporting_test.go

//go:build unit
// +build unit

package cmd

import (
    "testing"
)

func TestReportingCmd(t *testing.T) {
    t.Parallel()
...

When executing "go test ./cmd/... --short -v -json -tags=unit" It runs all the tests, also the ones from the other commands but I am unable to do it in debugger mode. Is there any launch configuration which will allow me to debug it with VS Code? Thanks Eckard.

I have tried any kind of arguments in lauch.json for "program": "main.go" and "args" but did not got it running.

"program": "Reporting_test.go"
did not work because inside I call the reporting function which is defined via Reproting_generated.go where the reportingCmd is called which is implemented in executeReporting.go It would be OK to just run one test or all the tests at once in debug mode.

Answer 1

Finally I got an answer from a colleague: adding:

"go.testFlags": [
    "-tags=unit,integration",
    "-short",
    "-v"
]

to settings.json resolved the issue. No I can run in debug mode.
