安装Golang Kafka客户端（融合）时出现错误消息

Question

I want to ask about my problem in installing confluent golang kafka client on Mac OS Mojave.

Why is there always error message while installing golang kafka client go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka even the librdkafka already installed?

The error message:

$GOPATH/src/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka/event.go:234:9: could not determine kind of name for C.RD_KAFKA_RESP_ERR__FATAL
$GOPATH/src/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka/event.go:242:18: could not determine kind of name for C.rd_kafka_fatal_error

The librdkafka is already installed librdkafka 0.11.6 already installed.

The pkg-config version already 0.29.2.

What should i do to fix this issue?

Answer 1

Seems like an issue with the confluent-kafka-go package on master branch.

If you use go modules and you bind the version to 0.11.6 it works.

go 1.12:

go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka@v0.11.6

go 1.11:

GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka@v0.11.6

If you don't have go modules, clone the package under the correct go path and checkout to tag v0.11.6.
