What’s New in GoLand 2025.2

GoLand 2025.2 introduces interprocedural nil dereference analysis to help you catch potential nil issues early, right in the editor and without interrupting your workflow. This analysis understands how nil values can flow through your code across function calls, files, and packages, helping you spot unsafe pointer operations before they lead to errors.

You will see nullability hints for parameters in the quick documentation popup, warnings for possible dereferences in the editor, and a dedicated Go Data flow analysis tab in the Problems tool window that explains exactly how the nil value flows through your code.

The Welcome screen now opens in a tab, letting you access tools like the terminal, Kubernetes, the HTTP client, Docker, and databases right away, without requiring you to open a project. You can also create and work with standalone files without opening a folder or setting up a project.

The Endpoints tool window now fully supports the new pattern syntax in net/http.ServeMux, including method-based and wildcard routes like GET /task/{id}/. It also displays HTTP methods next to each endpoint, making the list clearer and easier to work with.

HTTP method detection and autocompletion have been improved to make generating requests from endpoint declarations easier. This works with handlers defined using the standard net/http package as well as Chi, Gin, and Gorilla. GoLand can now derive the HTTP method from:

• Function names: (e.g. r.GET("/path", handler))
• Method-prefixed patterns (e.g. http.HandleFunc("POST /item", handler))
• Function arguments (e.g. r.Method("DELETE", "/item", handler))
• Chained .Methods(...) calls (e.g. r.HandleFunc("/item", handler).Methods("PUT"))

This update also includes authority resolution improvements for Gin and http.Server, along with general refactoring to make the feature easier to extend.
