How to debug Go tests with param "./..." in VS Code

Question

I usually run go test ./... to run all tests in my project.

How can I set up launch.json to debug every tests that normally go test ./... runs?

What do you mean by "debug every test"? Do you simply want to run every test? Or do you mean something else? — Jonathan Hall

Assuming you're using the Go extension for VSCode:

As the vscode-go's documentation says, you could use the following:

{
    "name": "Launch test package",
    "type": "go",
    "request": "launch",
    "mode": "test",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}"
}

Note that you're specifying a new mode called "test".

You have to install delve in order to debug code using VSCode. You can install it by yourself or use the Go: Install/Update Tools command from VSCode. Read the documentation I mention first for more information.

This only tests inside workspaceFolder but not tests in the folders under it!

{ "name": "Launch test package", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "test", "program": "${workspaceFolder}" }

This one should work

{
   "name": "Launch test package",
   "type": "go",
   "request": "launch",
    "mode": "test",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/controllers" 
}
