I am using wgo for dependency management in Golang (although I think wgo has little to do with this), wgo has a folder structure like this
project/
.gocfg/
gopaths
vendor.json
vendor/
src/
github.com_or_whatever/
I have a library I coded myself which uses an nsq-go
type in one of the exported methods:
func AddNsqSubscription(
topic, channel string,
handler nsq.Handler,
config *nsq.Config) error { }
The library is called messi
and I import the nsq-go
like so "messi/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq"
The problem comes when I try to use this library in another project. For instance, in a project called scribe
I have the following code (notice the imports):
import (
"scribe/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq"
"scribe/vendor/src/messi"
)
//...
nsqHandler := nsq.HandlerFunc(func(message *nsq.Message) error {
msgHandler(MessiMessage{message})
return nil
})
return messi.AddNsqSubscription(destination, subdestination, nsqHandler, nsq.NewConfig())
When I go build
the following error is returned:
cannot use nsqHandler (type "scribe/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".HandlerFunc) as type "messi/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".Handler in argument to messi.AddNsqSubscription: "scribe/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".HandlerFunc does not implement "messi/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".Handler (wrong type for HandleMessage method)
have HandleMessage("scribe/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".Message) error
want HandleMessage("messi/vendor/src/github.com/bitly/go-nsq".Message) error
Why? I do not really know what is going on. The code go-nsq
imported is exactly the same, yet golang wants that this code comes from the same folder?
What am I doing wrong?
