Error customizing Go tagbar list

[nicolas-martin]

I'm trying to hide packages and imports for Go files. I generate the go type code with :TagbarGetTypeConfig go which gives me

let g:tagbar_type_go = {
    \ 'kinds' : [
        \ 'p:package:0:0',
        \ 'i:imports:1:0',
        \ 'c:constants:0:0',
        \ 'v:variables:0:0',
        \ 't:types:0:0',
        \ 'n:intefaces:0:0',
        \ 'w:fields:0:0',
        \ 'e:embedded:0:0',
        \ 'm:methods:0:0',
        \ 'r:constructors:0:0',
        \ 'f:functions:0:0',
        \ '?:unknown',
    \ ],
\ }

However when I delete the package and import line I get this error

Unknown tag kind encountered: "p". Your ctags and Tagbar configurations are out of sync! Please read ':help tagbar-extend'.

I also have https://github.com/jstemmer/gotags installed

Instead of deleting the p: definition, try changing from package to unknown.

Changing to 'p:unknown:0:0', didn't make it go away in tagbar. I was also wondering, what are the 0:0 numbers for? I looked all over the docs and couldn't find anything.

update: first param looks like it's fold level not sure what 'stl' stands for still

I could just fold them by default, but this is still weird

@nicolas-martin I can't seem to reproduce this. My knowledge of go files is limited, but I created a pretty simple program and use the tagbar_type_go mapping you provided and then removed the packages and imports lines and everything went fine for me. I even enabled the tagbar debug logs and did not see any issues.

Can you verify what version of ctags you're using, and maybe include the ctags output for a simple file? I tried with both exhuberant tags, and universal tags.

Here was the go file I used.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello, world.")
}

Here was the VIM config I used.

	let g:tagbar_type_go = {
				\ 'kinds' : [
				\ 'c:constants:0:0',
				\ 'v:variables:0:0',
				\ 't:types:0:0',
				\ 'n:intefaces:0:0',
				\ 'w:fields:0:0',
				\ 'e:embedded:0:0',
				\ 'm:methods:0:0',
				\ 'r:constructors:0:0',
				\ 'f:functions:0:0',
				\ '?:unknown',
				\ ],
				\ }

I'm running exuberant ctags 5.8 and gotags 1.4.1. Perhaps gotags is what's causing the issue?

[alerque]

Using gotags should be fully supported. Can you confirm how you setup which one to use? And sent the resulting generated tags file for a sample Go input?
