lsp-mode provides Go language support via the
gopls language
server. See

Troubleshooting#
Working with nested go.mod files#
If you encounter an error like one of these:
errors loading workspace: You are working in a nested module. Please open it as a separate workspace folderThis file is in %s, which is a nested module in the %s module. gopls currently requires one module per workspace folder. Please open %s as a separate workspace folder
Then the problem is most likely because lsp-mode has not started
gopls with the correct root directory. By default lsp-mode will pick
the root of your whole Git repository (or whatever else Projectile
turns up) for all language servers started inside the repo. However,
if you have nested go.mod files, you need to have lsp-mode start
separate instances of gopls for each nested go.mod, and use the
appropriate one for each file. You can make this work by manually
invoking M-x lsp-workspace-folders-add and adding each nested
go.mod directory as a workspace folder. Then reloading LSP with M-x
lsp in an affected file (or restarting Emacs) will cause the file to
be re-associated with a gopls process running under the correct
project workspace.
See #3473 for a bit more discussion of this particular issue.
