接口转换：接口{}是float64而不是[]接口{} PubNub

Question

I am trying to get at the JSON values that are passed as a PubNub message on the subscribe end. the code for this is

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "flag"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/pubnub/go/messaging"
)

type DeployMessages struct {
    Server string
    Repo   string
}

type PNMessage struct {
    Messages []DeployMessages
    Id       string
    Channel  string
}

func main() {
    publishKey := flag.String("pub", "demo", "publish key")
    subscribeKey := flag.String("sub", "demo", "subscribe key")

    channels := flag.String("channels", "channel1, channel2", "channels to subscribe to")

    pubnub := messaging.NewPubnub(*publishKey, *subscribeKey, "", "", false, "", nil)

    successChannel := make(chan []byte)
    errorChannel := make(chan []byte)

    go pubnub.Subscribe(*channels, "", successChannel, false, errorChannel)

    subscribeHandler(successChannel, errorChannel, "Subscribe")
}

func (pnm *PNMessage) UnmarshalJSON(bs []byte) error {
    var arr []interface{}
    err := json.Unmarshal(bs, &arr)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    messages := arr[0].([]interface{}) 
    pnm.Messages = make([]DeployMessages, len(messages))
    for i, m := range messages {
        pnm.Messages[i].Server = m.(map[string]interface{})["server"].(string) 
        pnm.Messages[i].Repo = m.(map[string]interface{})["repo"].(string)
    }
    pnm.Id = arr[1].(string)      
    pnm.Channel = arr[2].(string)
    return nil
}

func subscribeHandler(successChannel, errorChannel chan []byte, action string) {

    for {
        select {
        case response, ok := <-successChannel:
            if !ok {
                break
            }
            if string(response) != "[]" {
                message := PNMessage{}
                err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(response), &message)
                if err != nil {
                    break
                }
                fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("%s Response: %s ", action, response))
                fmt.Println("")
            }

        case failure, ok := <-errorChannel:
            if !ok {
                break
            }
            if string(failure) != "[]" {
                if true {
                    fmt.Printf("%s Error Response: %s ", action, failure)
                    fmt.Println("")
                }
            }

        case <-messaging.SubscribeTimeout():
            fmt.Printf("Subscirbe request timeout")
        }
    }
}

The format of the message is this

[[{"Repo":"images","Server":"production"}], "149514560987662985", "channel1"]

This throws the following panic

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is float64, not []interface {} [recovered] panic: interface conversion: interface {} is float64, not []interface {}

I was referencing the answer to this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29348262/decoding-pubnub-messages-with-golang-json Please point me in the right direction...?

When converting incoming data to []interface{}, this is going to be long journey to get to the original data type. Here is the working code :

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
)

type DeployMessage struct {
    Server string
    Repo   string
}

type PNMessage struct {
    Messages []DeployMessage
    Id       string
    Channel  string
}

// testing to marshal this json
func main() {
    // imagine if we have receive our data here.
    data := []byte(`[[{"Repo":"images","Server":"production"}], "149514560987662985", "channel1"]`)

    var getData []interface{}
    err := json.Unmarshal(data, &getData)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("result  getData = %+v
", getData[0])

    getData2 := getData[0].([]interface{})
    fmt.Printf("result  getData = %+v
", getData2[0])

    getData3 := getData2[0].(map[string]interface{})

    var deployMessages []DeployMessage
    deployMessages = append(deployMessages, DeployMessage{Server: getData3["Server"].(string), Repo: getData3["Repo"].(string)})

    pNMessage := PNMessage{
        Messages: deployMessages,
        Id:       getData[1].(string),
        Channel:  getData[2].(string),
    }

    fmt.Printf("result  = %+v
", pNMessage)

}

Above code will works but I don't like it. https://play.golang.org/p/U6slzSgaxu

You can shorten the code the assert your data like this :

getData2 := getData[0].([]interface{})[0].(map[string]interface{})
repo := getData2["Repo"].(string) // this will get the value of Repo in string.

final output :

result  = {Messages:[{Server:production Repo:images}] Id:149514560987662985 Channel:channel1}
