Why Does GoLand Show 'Unresolved Reference' Errors for Valid Go Code?

GoLand IDE Unresolved Reference Error Despite Valid Code

Users of GoLand IDE by JetBrains sometimes encounter an "unresolved reference" error message for code that compiles and runs correctly. This issue is particularly puzzling when the reference is valid and methods are defined nearby.

One specific example is the following code:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

type MyBoxItem struct {
    Name string
}

type MyBox struct {
    Items []MyBoxItem
}

func (box *MyBox) AddItem(item MyBoxItem) {
    box.Items = append(box.Items, item)
}

func main() {

    item1 := MyBoxItem{Name: "Test Item 1"}
    item2 := MyBoxItem{Name: "Test Item 2"}

    box := MyBox{}

    box.AddItem(item1)
    box.AddItem(item2)

    // checking the output
    fmt.Println(len(box.Items))
    fmt.Println(box.Items)
}

Despite the correct implementation of the AddItem method within the MyBox type, GoLand marks box.AddItem(item1) and box.AddItem(item2) in red, indicating an unresolved reference to "AddItem."

Solution:

As suggested by a user who experienced a similar issue, invalidating the caches and restarting GoLand may resolve the error. To do this:

1. Go to File in the menu bar.
2. Select Invalidate Caches / Restart.

Restarting GoLand after this action should eliminate the "unresolved reference" error for the affected code. This solution has been found to be effective in multiple cases.
