I'm having a problem with the -import mechanism in mockgen. I opened an issue on the gomock github page five days ago, but nobody has responded.
I'm using gomock to generate static mocks. One of my generated mocks is throwing a syntax error. To fix this, I'm trying to set the name of a package which the mock is importing. I can't figure out how to do it. When I create my mock with mockgen, it contains this import: person "github.com/goblimey/films/models/person" The mock includes this method. The syntax error is on the line that I've marked with a comment: func (_m *MockDAO) Create(person person.Person) (person.Person, error) { ret := _m.ctrl.Call(_m, "Create", person) ret0, _ := ret[0].(person.Person) // syntax error here ret1, _ := ret[1].(error) return ret0, ret1 } The error is: ./MockDAO.go:76: person.Person undefined (type person.Person has no field or method Person) This is caused by confusion between the variable person and the package person. I need the import line to be something like: import ( personModel "github.com/goblimey/films/models/person" So the import is called personModel, not person. According to the documentation I can fix this problem using -import when I run mockgen. However, when I do that, I still get the import line that provokes the error. In this example, I run the command and display the first ten lines that it produces: $ mockgen -package mocks -source ../daos/people/DAO.go \ -imports 'personModel=github.com/goblimey/films/models/person' | head -10 // Automatically generated by MockGen. DO NOT EDIT! // Source: ../daos/people/DAO.go package mocks import ( person "github.com/goblimey/films/models/person" dbsession "github.com/goblimey/films/utilities/dbsession" gomock "github.com/golang/mock/gomock" ) Does anybody know how to make the -import flag of gomock do what I need? (For the benefit of IDE lovers: the first line iin the example s a command that I type into a terminal window. The rest is the response.) (For the benefit of MS Windows users, this is a UNIX command. I'm using the head command to take the output from gomock and display only the first few lines.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
