I find that the editor.codeActionsOnSave configuration very annoying because a lot of times when I save, it eats up some time getting some code actions for the language I'm currently using (Golang, for example).

I have no desire nor need for such a feature as I have configured my desired actions upon save elsewhere.

I have already added the following entries on my VS Code configuration file:

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {}, "[go]": { "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {} },

However, setting an empty value does not seem to disable this annoying feature because I still get popups that VS Code is getting some code actions.

Previously, editor.codeActionsOnSave was set to null by default, but this also does not disable the feature.

How do I disable this feature?

EDIT: I also filed a GitHub issue about this here.

    It is only set to null by default if you clicked "edit in settings.json" but then did nothing when the editor was shown. Commented Apr 21, 2021 at 6:46

Reset to default

I managed to get rid of it by setting it only for go :

"[go]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true, "editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.fixAll": true, "source.organizeImports": true } }

Setting it to null does not work, somehow Go expects it to be set up, and setting it to false globally can be a pain on other projets (I am looking at you react-native project with eslint set up)

Thanks, I'll give it a try! Although since I'm not working in Go at the moment, it could take a while before I can observe whether it works on my side and accept it as the answer. Many thanks for answering!
this worked for me! and it's a better answer than the other one that has more votes, because the "[go]": {} block is essential!

You can delete it or set it to false

... "editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.fixAll": false, "source.organizeImports": false }, "editor.formatOnSave": false ...

Hmm, this looks very promising! I'll try it out and accept this as the answer if it works after observing it for a while. But is "editor.formatOnSave": false really mandatory? I find that format on save is very useful.
UPDATE: Sadly, this didn't work for me. :( I have no idea what code action VS Code is even doing for Golang because I don't have any specified. Many thanks for trying, though! :)
None of these are mandatory. As said you can even delete them completely. Sorry it didn't work for you :(
