# Troubleshooting
If you see a gopls error or crash, or gopls just stops working, please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
If you suspect that `gopls` is crashing or not working correctly, please follow the [troubleshooting steps](#steps) below.
If `gopls` is using too much memory, please follow the steps under [Memory usage](#memory-usage).

## File an issue
You can use:
* Your editor's bug submission integration (if available). For instance, `:GoReportGitHubIssue` in [`vim-go`](vim.md#vim-go).
* `gopls bug` on the command line.
* The [Go issue tracker](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new?title=x%2Ftools%2Fgopls%3A%20%3Cfill%20this%20in%3E).

### Restart your editor
Once you have filed an issue, you can then try to restart your `gopls` instance by restarting your editor. In many cases, this will correct the problem. In VSCode, the easiest way to restart the language server is by opening the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and selecting `"Go: Restart Language Server"`. You can also reload the VSCode instance by selecting `"Developer: Reload Window"`.
## Memory usage
`gopls` automatically writes out memory debug information when your usage
exceeds 1GB. This information can be found in your temporary directory with
names like `gopls.1234-5GiB-withnames.zip`. On Windows, your temporary
directory will be located at `%TMP%`, and on Unixes, it will be `$TMPDIR`,
which is usually `/tmp`. Please create a
[new issue](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new?title=x%2Ftools%2Fgopls%3A%20%3Cfill%20this%20in%3E)
with your editor settings and memory debug information attached. If you are
uncomfortable sharing the package names of your code, you can share the
`-nonames` zip instead.
