Debugging Go code in Visual Studio Code WSL

Question

I have a Visual Studio Code environment with the Linux Subsystem for windows running and it's compiling and running a Go project just fine.

Now I'm trying to get the delve debugger running following this link:

But I can't get it running, neither remote nor local.

Tried all kind of configurations in launch.json but breakpoints just arent hit and no error message is printed.

Has anyone got go debugging running on VSCode using the WSL?

Old post, but its not possible to get delve to work on WSL

There was a better resource that explains fully why it doesnt work, cant find it now

Apparently it has something to do with WSL not implementing Linux fully...but it will in WSL2!

If you can switch to WSL2, microsoft/vscode-go issue 2505 confirms:

Since WSL2 is working with this, I think we can close the bug
