Use gotags + tagbar in vim-go without Exuberant Ctags installed

[mura]

Here is a tip:

1. Create a shell script named "gotags-for-tagbar.sh" as follows, and put it into one of your search paths $PATH (or alongside gotags executable)

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "--version" ]; then

       echo Universal Ctags

       exit 0

fi

gotags "$@"

2. In .vimrc, add the following line:

let g:tagbar_ctags_bin='gotags-for-tagbar.sh'

It works for me.

You can also set something like this in your .vimrc and then you don't need to create a separate script.
 

 let g:tagbar_type_go = {
    \ 'ctagstype' : 'go',
    \ 'kinds'     : [
        \ 'p:package',
        \ 'i:imports:1',
        \ 'c:constants',
        \ 'v:variables',
        \ 't:types',
        \ 'n:interfaces',
        \ 'w:fields',
        \ 'e:embedded',
        \ 'm:methods',
        \ 'r:constructor',
        \ 'f:functions'
    \ ],
    \ 'sro' : '.',
    \ 'kind2scope' : {
        \ 't' : 'ctype',
        \ 'n' : 'ntype'
    \ },
    \ 'scope2kind' : {
        \ 'ctype' : 't',
        \ 'ntype' : 'n'
    \ },
    \ 'ctagsbin'  : 'gotags',
    \ 'ctagsargs' : '-sort -silent'
\ }
