Is there any way to force you to ignore errors in Go?

Question

Golang forces us to manually remove unused items in the code, for example:

for index, item := range retorno.Threads {
    fmt.Fprint(w, item.Id)
}

If you run a go run .... he will say:

index declared and not used

And as a result will not run application. The same applies when using a import and does not use it in the code, as a result:

Imported and not used: "(name)"

---

Well, I understand how to fix these kinds of mistakes, this is not the question.

The question is many of the times I’m just testing something to see if it works, out of curiosity, a simple table edition that requires me to change other parts, for example by removing a library that I just stopped using.

Is there any way to ignore the error? Is there any way to automatically fix the errors, such as removing unused libraries?

Answer 1

Can be avoided using a _ before the declared name:

import (_ "fmt")

for _ index, item := range retorno.Threads {
    fmt.Fprint(w, item.Id)
}

I put in the Github for future reference.

The compiler does not support this. In the case of Voce Imports you can use https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports

There’s a guy who made a modified compiler to solve this qst that you want.
