  or configure the "go.toolsManagement.go" setting
  to use the go1.21 or newer when installing tools. (Issue 3411)

Testing

A new extension, Go Companion, has been released with experimental support for gopls-based test discovery. If Go Companion is installed, pre-release versions of this extension will automatically disable its test explorer in favor of Go Companion's implementation. See experiments for details on Go Companion's features and for disabling the automatic switchover.
