I'm having the same issue, but I'm running on linux. I also get same token error when clicking the "Run go mod tidy" command in the go.mod file.

I also encountered this null token error, while trying to open the gopls feature documentation from the quick fix menu.

Error Message:
"Command 'gopls.client_open_url' failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'Token')."

Go Version:
go version go1.24.0 linux/amd64

gopls version:
golang.org/x/tools/gopls v0.18.1

Code version:

Go Extension: 0.46.0

[axww]

Same issue with Go 1.24.0 under Windows VSCode.
I suppose they forgot to pack golps into Go\bin....

[uj]

Same issue here.

To "fix" it, go to the extensions in VSCode, go to the "Go" Extension, click the down arrow next to Uninstall, click "Install Specific Version", Wait several seconds for the options to appear, choose 0.44.0, wait for it to install, then click on Restart Extension.

Works properly with version 0.44.0

Version 0.46.0 is broken, and the pre-release 0.47.0 is also broken.

[chriskriel]

In my case this happens when I use the module before it has been versioned in the go.mod of another module in the same workspace. Removing it as a go.mod dependency and including it only in go.work resolved this for me.

[Hr0bar]

Same here, started suddenly yesterday, probably after auto-update.

[findleyr]

Thanks very much for the report, and everyone for the strong signal.

CC @h9jiang -- it looks like something broke with the most recent set of releases.

[findleyr]

@h9jiang has a fix and we should be releasing a v0.46.1 soon. I'll pin this issue for awareness.
