~ok, issue seem to be mitigated after upgrading golang.org/x/tools v0.33.0 to golang.org/x/tools v0.34.0 in my go.mod~

~but how come go.mod in some project affects how Go VSCode + gopls itself works?~

~is this fallout from mixing tools version management vs definition of code itself? (e.g. controversial long threads about go tools in HN?)~

btw, automatic go.mod dependency upgrades also stopped worked couple months ago. now I am using go get -u ./... instead, since VSCode "upgrade dependencies" does not work. not sure if related...

UPD: crash still happening

disabling new cache mechanism in https://github.com/golang/tools/releases/tag/gopls%2Fv0.19.0 seem to help

CC @adonovan @pjweinb we should patch a fix.

Please try installing the 19.1 prerelease and let us know if it solves this problem:

$ go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@v0.19.1-pre.1

no crash for me happens with golang.org/x/tools/gopls@v0.19.1-pre.1
