I am trying to install the Go tools in Visual Studio Code and am getting the following error when installing gopls:
Tools environment: GOPATH=/Users/jal/go

I know I have dirent.h because I see results in my local Xcode SDKs when running find / -iregex ".*/dirent.h$" 2>/dev/null.
I am following the steps here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/go/configure-visual-studio-code
My setup is:
- Fresh install of go from Homebrew
- Fresh install of VSCode macOS from go.dev/doc/install
- Instal the Go plugin
- In the Command Palette, search for and select "Go: Install/Update tools" and select all tools in the dropdown
All tools are installed successfully except for gopls. I have installed go via Homebrew and have also installed gopls via Homebrew but am not sure how to configure VSCode to point to this alternative gopls path.
