Explanation: The dlv version used is not compatible with your current Go version. Keep in mind that the version used by your IDE might be different from the one you are using.

Solution:

1. Make sure you have downloaded dlv and that it is under $GOPATH/bin. If not: go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@master
2. Replace the version used by your IDE with the new one using a symlink:

cd /Applications/GoLand.app/Contents/plugins/go/lib/dlv/macarm/dlv
mv dlv dlv.old
ln -s $GOPATH/bin/dlv dlv
