This is a general tracking issue for memory usage in gopls. We need to collect data and set goals for usage for a given project size. We also need to work towards reducing the memory usage when staticcheck is enabled (though that may be a separate issue).

If you have a specific problem with gopls using too much memory on your machine, please create a new issue so that we can investigate it separately.

Please include your editor settings and memory debug information with your issue. These are automatically written to the temporary directory (/tmp for Unixes) with names like gopls.1234-5GiB-withnames.zip. If you are uncomfortable sharing the package names of your code, you can share the -nonames zip instead.

Change https://golang.org/cl/236397 mentions this issue: internal/lsp/cache: intermediate test variants aren't workspace packages

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Jun 11, 2020
When you write a test in (say) the fmt package, you get a test variant
augmented with the test files. In many cases you also get test variants
of the things the fmt package depends on. The primary test variant,
(fmt [fmt.test]) is interesting to us, because it contains the tests.
But the intermediate variants (testing [fmt.test]) aren't -- the user
can only get to them indirectly. We certainly don't need to fully parse
them.

Treat intermediate test variants as non-workspace packages. This doesn't
accomplish much yet but paves the way for later optimizations.

Updates golang/go#36943.

I think the commits I pushed today have improved things significantly for large projects. I'll keep looking for a little bit.

From the first comment:

If you have a specific problem with gopls using too much memory on your machine, please create a new issue so that we can investigate it separately.

There will be zip files in /tmp with additional memory diagnostic information. Please include one of them. If you are uncomfortable sharing the package names of your code you can pick one with a -nonames suffix, otherwise please upload a --withnames` file.

There have been a number of memory improvements in gopls at master. Please try out with the instructions on https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/doc/user.md#unstable-versions, or wait for the next release.
