I'm writing a command line tool that will delete peers from a text file.
This is the text file. Its reference in code is cfg.Bootstrap
"Bootstrap": [
{
"Address": "/ip4/162.243.139.64/tcp/5001",
"PeerID": "QmXZPT1SLcczjNSLnSCsQBWwbosKjrDRo122Ys8ajKoQXQ"
},
{
"Address": "/ip4/162.243.139.64/tcp/5001",
"PeerID": "QmXZPT1SLcczjNSLnSCsQBWwbosKjrDRo122Ys8ajKoQXA"
},
{
"Address": "/ip4/162.243.139.64/tcp/5001",
"PeerID": "QmXZPT1SLcczjNSLnSCsQBWwbosKjrDRo122Ys8ajKoQXQ"
},
{
"Address": "/ip4/162.243.139.64/tcp/5001",
"PeerID": "QmXZPT1SLcczjNSLnSCsQBWwbosKjrDRo122Ys8ajKoQXA"
}
]
The peer object is created using a user supplied PeerID and Address. It looks like this
peer := config.BootstrapPeer{
Address: address,
PeerID: pID,
}
The goal is to remove all peers cfg.Bootstrap that contain the user supplied Address and PeerID
//iterate through the list of peers multiple times so that we delete all matches
for i := range cfg.Bootstrap {
//iterate through the list of peers
for i, val := range cfg.Bootstrap {
//if the user supplied PeerID and Address match a Peer object in cfg.Bootstrap..
if(val.PeerID == peer.PeerID && val.Address == peer.Address) {
//remove that element
cfg.Bootstrap = append(cfg.Bootstrap[:i], cfg.Bootstrap[i+1:]...)
}
}
fmt.Println(i)
}
This works UNLESS the last peer in cfg.Bootstrap has a duplicate. If it has a duplicate then Go panics with
panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range
I need to make it so the user can delete all copies of a peer that include the last peer. Any ideas?
