Development Environment Setup for golang

• Ensure a .env file exists at the root of <<projectName-local-dev>> and has the required properties. Example:

  DEBUGGER_ARGS=--continue
  # (Add other variables as needed)

• Run locally with hot reloading via Air: docker compose up

Debugging

If running <> via the steps above, debugging is already enabled via Delve. If the env var DEBUGGER_ARGS includes --continue, the application will start up and then allow you to attach a debugger. However, if you want to debug any of the initialization/startup steps (e.g. main(), etc.), you will have to remove --continue from DEBUGGER_ARGS and restart the <<projectName>>-api container. This will halt startup until there is a debugger attached, allowing you to debug initialization steps in the code.

To connect your IDE to the running instance, set up your debugger to connect to a Go "remote" or "server" via port: 40000.
